Dear Mr. Ray,

Your initiative to reconceptualize time as a cognitive construct rather than a physical entity touches a chord with my own interdisciplinary research, which explores temporal structures at the intersection of philosophy, music theory, and acoustic physics.

As a university lecturer and author of several volumes on symbolic epistemology and mathematical poetics, I regard time not as a linear metric, but as a resonant architecture — a field of modal intensities and relational intervals, shaped by both perception and vibration. In my work, I draw upon cymatics, spectral music, and ontological acoustics to investigate how time emerges from patterned energy and symbolic cognition.

Your thesis echoes a broader movement toward post-Newtonian and posthumanist understandings of temporality, where rhythm, sequence, and symbolic density replace the inertial clock. In this light, time becomes not what is measured, but what is experienced structurally — a semantic field, not a scalar axis.

I salute your effort to bring clarity and ontological depth to this domain. The dialogue between physics and symbolic cognition is not only timely — it is foundational.

With respect,

Your conceptualization of time as a cognitive construct rather than a physical entity resonates with contemporary interdisciplinary research at the intersection of philosophy, acoustics, and theoretical physics. My own academic investigations, rooted in symbolic epistemology and mathematical analysis, explore temporal structures not as linear metrics but as dynamic architectures — frameworks of modal intensities and relational intervals shaped by perception and vibratory patterns.

Drawing upon cymatics, spectral analysis, and ontological acoustics, I have examined how rhythmic structures and patterned energy give rise to what we conventionally describe as "time." This approach aligns with emerging post-Newtonian models, where temporality is no longer treated as a passive scalar axis but as an emergent property of events, sequences, and cognitive mapping.

Your thesis contributes meaningfully to this paradigm by shifting the emphasis from measurement to experiential structuring, and from inertial reference frames to symbolic cognition. Such efforts to clarify the ontological basis of temporality are of significant value to the ongoing dialogue between physics and cognitive science.

With warm regards,

@Adrian Leonard Mociulschi,

Your exploration of time as a creation of the mind rather than a substance of the cosmos strikes a profound chord. In my own work — spanning philosophy, spectral music, and the acoustics of being — I have come to see time not as a straight line, but as a resonant architecture: a lattice of intensities, intervals, and vibrations, through which consciousness threads its patterns.

Through cymatics and symbolic acoustics, I have listened to the ways in which rhythm becomes duration, and sequence becomes what we call "past" and "future." Time, in this light, is not the ticking of a clock, but the tension between silence and sound — a field of meaning rather than a measure.

Your thesis stands as part of a broader turning: away from the tyranny of the clock, and toward a view of temporality as lived resonance — where physics meets poetry, and cognition becomes the true chronometer.

Respectfully,

Sumeru Ray
