Asymmetric spacetime tension: temporally heterogeneous world knowledge
Asymmetry is lifted from edge direction or weight to the effective time scale of nodes and relations. Each node carries stability, information-decay rate, update tension, system impact and local valid time; refresh is triggered by tension, external disturbance, information age, change velocity and event relevance rather than by one global clock, so stable knowledge sleeps, volatile knowledge refreshes often, and a rarely changing high-impact node triggers wide dependency recomputation when it does change.
Assumptions
assumptions- Knowledge stability is highly non-uniform across formal, physical, social and real-time domains.
- Update cost is not free; over-refresh and under-refresh are both failures.
Claims
claims- World knowledge is temporally heterogeneous.
- Freshness is not a timestamp: it is decided jointly by world change rate, source reliability, dependency structure, task risk and system impact (Paper 02).
Predictions
predictions- Architecture contribution AC(λ=0) ≈ 0 in a static world, while AC(λ_heterogeneous) > 0; a fixed synchronous-refresh baseline should be worse in highly heterogeneous time-scale environments (Paper 11 §80–82).
Falsification / failure conditions
falsification_conditions- No measurable staleness/recomputation advantage over fixed-TTL and event-driven refresh under heterogeneous dynamics.
- The tension field is only an LLM guess with no runtime enforcement — then the theory has not been tested (Paper 11 §29).
Known limitations
known_limitations- R1 found that in an event-rich deterministic world, pure event invalidation is cheaper than tension scheduling (AER 3 recomputations vs 2).
