Temporal Drag Force Analog
Definition
The Temporal Drag Force Analog is the book's picture of Temporal Drag as a viscous drag: a resisting force proportional to pulse velocity and to the computational load at that recursion level.
Just as a viscous medium resists motion in proportion to speed, the recursive substrate resists pulse propagation in proportion to how fast pulses move and how much computational load has accumulated. The book says the resistance comes from recursive state dependencies: each state depends on those before it, and the accumulated load produces systematic deceleration. The analogy leads into the Temporal Drag Equation and the Integrated Temporal Evolution.
The formal statement is F⇜ = −β × v⥂ × L_n, where F⇜ is the Temporal Drag Force Analog, β the computational resistance coefficient, approximately 10⁻⁴³ s⁻¹, v⥂ the pulse velocity and L_n the computational load at level n. Dimensions from the book's Where-list: F⇜ [𝕃·𝕋⁻²], β [𝕋⁻¹], v⥂ [𝕃·𝕋⁻¹], L_n [∅].
It connects to Temporal Drag, the Temporal Drag Equation, Integrated Temporal Evolution and Computational Load Accumulation.
