==== Here’s where QAT adds its novel layer: ====
* Instead of treating time as a pre-existing coordinate, QAT treats time as something that emerges from wave-particle interactions, especially photon-electron interactions on a spherical surface.
* The forward flow of time (the "arrow of time") is a result of asymmetric absorption and emission of photons, breaking perfect symmetry on the spherical electron surface.

So:
* The geometric process of symmetry forming and breaking gives rise to both energy flow and time flow.

✅ This is an original interpretation, but it still aligns with Noether’s framework.
