Hi, I'm Richard Kent Gates. I'm a developer and web presence consultant, and the founder of Gap Creek Media. I work across WordPress development, web design, content strategy, and email — helping businesses manage their entire online presence.
All open source work supports Gap Creek Media clients. WordPress plugins for metadata management, email routing, JavaScript injection, and privacy-first analytics, plus OS-level daemons for lossless media processing and j-make, the client-side library that powers this site.
Metamanager v2.3.117 + v2.4.57
Complete metadata management for WordPress. Schema.org structured data for 10+ types, Open Graph, XML & HTML sitemaps, robots.txt, link checker, breadcrumb labels, business profile, and author profiles. OS-level daemons handle lossless image/video/audio compression and bidirectional EXIF/IPTC/XMP metadata embedding.

Theoretical Physics
Independent research in theoretical physics and cosmology. One axiom, one field, all of physics.
The Theory of Everything: One Axiom, One Field, All of Physics
The capstone paper. One axiom (distance → time → information → preserved) generates quantum mechanics, general relativity, and thermodynamics. One scalar field G(t) IS the quantum vacuum, IS spacetime, IS information. One correction law Xeff = X0(1 + cXG) bridges GR and QM across all scales with two free parameters. Resolves the cosmological constant problem, the measurement problem, the entropy arrow, the black hole information paradox, and the Big Bang singularity. All 14 theory closure checks pass.

Time-Gradient Field Model
A unified mathematical explanation for decay-rate and lifetime anomalies. Introduces a model in which nuclear decay rates, muon lifetimes, and other internal clocks respond to a weak, external time-gradient field. Reproduces seasonal variations in Si-32, Cl-36, and Ra-226; a transient Mn-54 dip during the 2006 solar flare; reactor-shutdown anomalies; and material-dependent muon lifetime structure.

Gravity as a Pure Temporal Gradient
A conceptual framework reframing what we observe as gravity not as a geometric distortion of spacetime or a pulling force, but as a direct consequence of a localized Proper Time Gradient Field. Redefines c as the fundamental conversion factor of time efficiency. Prepared for the CERN Research & Theoretical Physics Community.

Mathematical Verification
Independent verification of core predictions from the Time-Gradient Field Model. Uses original experimental data from Jenkins et al. (2008), Semkow et al. (2009), and Sturrock et al. (2010).

Statistical Verification of Micro-Oscillation Reconstruction
Closed-form mathematical closure demonstrating that the recovered micro-oscillation signal G(t) is statistically consistent with the true deterministic model. Uses Fisher Information, Cramér–Rao Lower Bound, and measured reconstruction error.

Unified Scalar Field Consistency
Demonstrates that a single scalar field G provides mathematically consistent unification across nuclear decay anomalies, lunar MASCON anomalies, Apollo inertial residuals, cosmological acceleration, black hole evaporation reversal, and laboratory transient detection.

The Unified Scalar Time-Gradient Field
The complete formalized synthesis. Merges gravity as a time gradient with quantum mechanics of varying fundamental constants. Introduces Chameleon screening, aligns with DESI (w = −0.85), regularizes collapse into stable Planckian relics, and establishes forward–backward consistency via Fisher Information Matrix analysis.

Black Hole Lifecycle: Field-Driven Cosmology
The field G(t) drives expansion at small amplitude. Black hole end-states (relics) produce the gradient-driven clustering observed in galaxies. Numerically solves Friedmann equation, BH mass evolution, relic identity stability, perturbation growth, rotation curves, lensing.

The Foundation: Distance, Time, Information
Proves mathematically that distance necessitates time, time is information, and information cannot be lost. Singularities are forbidden. The scalar field G(t) is the mathematical expression of this prohibition. Accelerator physics provides direct evidence.

The Field Is the Universe: A Unified Proof
Working backward from the current state. The field drives expansion, produces radiation, nucleosynthesis, structure, and accelerated expansion — all from field oscillation at varying amplitudes. No beginning, no singularity, no emptiness.
