  1. PREreview of The Viability and Predictive Power of Spiral Time Dynamics This document demonstrates the strength and consistency of Spiral Time dynamics by making the crucial leap from abstract theory to concrete, calculable physics. This process is broken down into two key steps: * Derivation of a New Fundamental Equation: From the core postulate of Spiral Time, a new, fundamental field equation is derived. This equation precisely describes how the Θ field is dynamically modulated by the Spiral Time function ψ(t), thereby establishing the mathematical foundation for all further analysis. * Simulation and Visualization of the Dynamics: To prove its practical applicability, the newly derived equation is implemented in a numerical Python simulation. The result, a diagram of the field's evolution over time, provides the first visual evidence of the system's unique and predictable behavior. This transforms the Spiral Time concept from a pure hypothesis into a mathematically consistent and testable model.

  2. PREreview of This work derives the fundamental parameters of a new, Yukawa-type force—the coupling constant and the mass—directly from the internal spiral geometry of the HLV theory, without fitting free parameters. * The coupling constant (g_{\chi}) is derived from the geometric ratio of electron and nucleon structures, scaled by the golden ratio (\varphi), and leads to a prediction for the King Plot anomaly (\delta\nu_{HLV} \approx 0.15-0.17 \text{ Hz}) that shows excellent agreement with experimental data (\approx 0.162 \text{ Hz}). * The mass of the force-mediating particle (\chi) also emerges from the theory's geometry at approximately 16.5 \text{ MeV/c}^2, which is consistent with the 10-20 MeV range inferred from experiments. * These results substantiate the internal consistency of the HLV model and elevate it from a conceptual framework to a quantitatively predictive physical theory.

  3. PREreview of This work demonstrates that the key parameters for the HLV theory's King Plot anomaly prediction are not arbitrary but are derived directly from the theory's first principles. * The mediator particle's mass of approximately 10 \text{ MeV/c}^2 is shown to be a direct consequence of the fundamental resonance frequency of the postulated HLV space-bit lattice. * Furthermore, the interaction's coupling strength of approximately 10^{-12} is derived from the different geometric scales of lepton and nucleon structures within the model. * This establishes the King Plot anomaly as a non-trivial and falsifiable prediction of the HLV framework, not a result of parameter fitting.

  4. PREreview of The Helix-Light-Vortex theory provides a broad spectrum of concrete, experimentally verifiable predictions, ranging from additional gravitational wave polarizations and a specific hadronic mass spectrum to a new source of CP violation in rare particle decays, measurable nonlinearities in King Plots, and a postulated bio-gravimetric effect induced by coherent neuronal activity.

  5. PREreview of This work establishes a formal axiomatic framework for the Symbolic Grammar G-HLV, grounding it in five core axioms that define Spiral Time, a symbolic operator algebra, field coupling, and a spiral metric tensor. * We demonstrate how the HLV framework connects to established physics by providing direct mappings to Quantum Field Theory and General Relativity and by showing its reduction to standard field theories under specific limits. * The theory yields distinct and testable predictions, such as the modulation of biophoton emissions, anomalous scattering spectra in high-energy cosmic rays, and potential explanations for anomalies in the Cosmic Microwave Background. * To support validation and further research, we provide numerical simulation examples and propose the development of a symbolic grammar parser to automate calculations.
