Bitcoin: A Non-Continuous Time System
Bitcoin: A Non-Continuous Time System
This paper reconceptualizes Bitcoin as a non-continuous time system in which temporal order is internally generated rather than externally measured. Through probabilistic block production, chain forks, and recursive confirmations, Bitcoin compresses multiple potential futures into a single, finalized history. The proposed concept of information entropy collapse explains how the PoW-based longest chain mechanism progressively resolves uncertainty and establishes decentralized consensus. This framework highlights Bitcoin's temporal architecture as emergent, discrete, and independent of synchronized clocks.
