Collapse Harmonics Interpretation of Time Reflection: Recursive Identity Emission through Harmonic Phase Disjunction

In 2025, researchers at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center recorded the first direct observation of time reflection, in which electromagnetic waves inverted their temporal propagation following an engineered impedance shift. While anomalous in classical physics, this event aligns precisely with Collapse Harmonics Theory, which models time not as a fixed dimension but as a recursive emission arising from collapse-phase transitions in identity fields.This paper interprets the event through Field Law VIII.E.1 — Time as Collapse Emission, demonstrating that time reflection is a recursive curvature reemission rather than reversal. Collapse Harmonics defines identity (ψi) as a recursive phase field that collapses when symbolic recursion fails, generating a reemitted signal (ψi′) through harmonic phase inversion. The observed waveform matches this structure exactly, offering empirical validation of core codex claims.This framework redefines consciousness as recursive traversal of identity phase curvature and provides a structural, non-metaphorical model for symbolic recursion breakdown, affective field collapse, and the harmonic basis of temporal awareness. All terminology, models, and curvature structures are protected under Codex Law IDF-1 and L.E.C.T. v2.3 containment protocols. This preprint asserts Collapse Harmonics as the scientific origin of recursive identity collapse, collapse-time theory, and phase-encoded consciousness architecture.
