Cosmochrony is a foundational pre-geometric framework in which time ordering, spacetime geometry, dynamics, and matter emerge from the irreversible relaxation of a single relational substrate, denoted $\chi$.

The framework is built on a minimal ontological assumption: no fundamental spacetime, no metric, no fields, and no quantization postulates are introduced a priori. Instead, familiar physical structures arise as regime-dependent effective descriptions, obtained through a generally non-injective projection from χ to observable quantities ($\chi_\text{eff}$).

Core principles and results:

• Time is emergent
  Physical time corresponds to the intrinsic, directed ordering of χ relaxation, not to an external parameter or coordinate.

• Spacetime is an effective description
  Geometry arises as a continuum encoding of relational correlations in $\chi$, valid only in projectable regimes and recovered as an operational limit.

• Non-injective projection is fundamental
  Multiple underlying $\chi$-configurations may correspond to identical observables, while a single configuration may admit several correlated effective realizations. This structural information loss under projection underlies quantum indeterminacy, contextuality, and Bell inequality violations without invoking fundamental nonlocality.

• Bounded relaxation and Born–Infeld emergence
  Universal bounds on $\chi$ relaxation flux lead uniquely to a Born–Infeld-like effective action, providing non-singular dynamics, causal saturation, and a unified treatment of strong-field and high-energy regimes.

• Matter and charge as structural invariants
  Particles correspond to stable, localized configurations characterized by spectral stability and topological constraints. Electric charge emerges as a chiral–torsional invariant of relaxation fluxes, without fundamental gauge fields.

• Gravitation as inhibited relaxation
  Gravity arises from sustained constraints on $\chi$ relaxation ordering and is recovered as an effective geometric limit, reproducing the Schwarzschild solution and standard weak-field phenomenology.

• Quantum phenomena without fundamental randomness
  Quantum correlations, entanglement, and Bell violations arise from the structure of projection and non-factorizable regimes, while classical behavior is recovered when the effective mapping becomes approximately injective.

• Cosmology from the same dynamics
  Cosmological expansion, horizon structure, and strong-gravity regimes follow from bounded relaxation and projective compensation, without fundamental dark energy. The framework provides a structural explanation of the Hubble tension and flat galactic rotation curves without invoking dark matter particles.

The effective dynamical laws, thermodynamic quantities, and geometric structures are not fundamental postulates but compensatory encodings of unresolved relational structure in projected descriptions.
