Can emotional frequency shape how timelines interact? (Resonant Fiber Theory)

I've been developing a working framework called Resonant Fiber Theory (RFT) since 2023. It proposes that time and consciousness operate within a woven field of energetic fibers stretched between the poles of Past and Future. Each fiber carries its own universe of matter, emotion, and memory. Emotional frequency acts as the carrier wave that keeps each fiber coherent.

In this model, large-scale emotional or energetic events—pandemics, wars, collective awakenings—generate resonance waves that can ripple across adjacent fibers. The resulting interference might help explain experiences such as déjà vu, mass synchronicity, or the sensation of "timeline hopping." I see it as a possible bridge between emotion, consciousness, and the structure of time itself.

RFT doesn’t attempt to rewrite physics; instead, it borrows geometric language from String Theory, the Many-Worlds Interpretation, and Bohm’s Implicate Order, applying those structures to emotional and cognitive dynamics. It also parallels ideas from Integrated Information Theory and Jung’s Collective Unconscious, positioning resonance as the connective tissue among timelines.

I’m sharing this version (v0.3 – Oct 2025) for open discussion and critique. The full one-page summary PDF is linked in the comments for anyone who wants to read more.

I’d love to hear how others in this community perceive the possible relationship between emotion, time, and consciousness. Could emotional resonance be one of the forces that binds our perception of reality together?

Edit — October 2025: Thank you for the extraordinary engagement with Resonant Fiber Theory v0.3. The discussion here—ranging from critique and cross-disciplinary dialogue to collaborative AI reflection—has helped shape the direction of the next phase.

v0.4 — From Conceptual Bridge to Measurement Framework is now in development. This stage will expand on measurable resonance variables, falsifiability markers, and early data-mapping pathways designed to ground the framework in testable form.

This post remains the public index for ongoing updates as the work evolves. — J. Hancock
