Kozyrev's Causal Mechanics: A Variant source Capture

This page records a source capture of the dossier on N. A. Kozyrev's "causal mechanics" (also called asymmetrical mechanics). The capture was taken from the kozyrev2/ page family at the source archive and carries a single associated image, kozyrev1.gif. The capture is a substantial text dossier: it reproduces Kozyrev's 1967 paper "Possibility of Experimental Study of the Properties of Time" (Joint Publications Research Service #45238, 1968) in full, together with a biographical sketch, a bibliography, and several secondary essays (Chubykalo & Espinoza; Shikhobalov; Frolov; High).

The capture is text-rich and internally coherent: it contains Kozyrev's theoretical development of causal mechanics (three axioms, the pseudo-scalar time pattern C2, the gyroscope and torsion-balance experiments, the claimed value C2 ≈ +700 ± 50 km/sec in a left-hand coordinate system, and the 'density of time' discussion), followed by secondary commentary. Everything below should be read as a record of what the capture contains, not as a verified account of Kozyrev's work.

What the source is

the source archive is an editor-led archive of inventor dossiers, article and patent references, and alternative-science material; see the source archive for the archive's role and Patent as Evidence for how Bench treats archive and patent material generally. The Kozyrev dossier is a secondary compilation: it reports Kozyrev's framework and reproduces a figure, rather than presenting primary experimental data.

The subject, N. A. Kozyrev, was a Soviet astrophysicist whose proposed framework, Causal Mechanics (Kozyrev's Asymmetrical Mechanics), treats time as an active physical quantity rather than a passive coordinate. The dossier's content is dominated by Kozyrev's theoretical and experimental work on time as an active physical quantity; the capture does not describe reflective or mirror structures.

Relationship to the existing Kozyrev capture

The prior ingestion, Kozyrev's Causal Mechanics: The source archive Text-and-Figure Capture (Provisional Record), already covers the same page family and the same figure asset. The two captures share:

• the same URL family (kozyrev2/);
• the same single image, kozyrev1.gif;
• the same central subject and framework.

Because of this overlap, this page does not restate the full account of causal mechanics. It exists to preserve provenance for the second ingested file and to record any material that differs from the first capture. Where the two captures agree, the primary article remains the reference point; where they diverge, the divergence is noted rather than silently merged.

Claims attributed to Kozyrev

The claims below are attributed to Kozyrev as reported by the source archive. Bench does not assert them.

• Time as a physical agent. Time is not merely a coordinate or a thermodynamic arrow but an active entity that carries energy and momentum and can be absorbed or emitted by matter.
• Cause–effect asymmetry. The asymmetry between cause and effect is claimed to produce observable physical consequences, which is why the framework is also called asymmetrical mechanics.
• Measurable effects. The dossier reports gyroscope-on-balance and pendulum experiments in which weight changes of order milligrams are claimed to depend on rotation direction, and torsion-balance experiments in which heating, cooling, electric current, or nearby irreversible processes are claimed to deflect the balance. Kozyrev reports a derived time-pattern velocity C2 ≈ +700 ± 50 km/sec in a left-hand coordinate system.

No independent replication, raw data table, or peer-reviewed citation chain is established by the capture itself. The gap between these assertions and supporting evidence is documented in Kozyrev Claims vs. Evidence: The Causal Mechanics Capture Without Data.

Figure

The capture carries one image asset, kozyrev1.gif, catalogued as part of Kozyrev Dossier Images (kozyrev1.gif). In the prior capture the same asset appears; it is most plausibly a diagram of an apparatus or a plotted result rather than a photograph. Because the capture is image-dependent and the accompanying text is degraded, the figure cannot be interpreted with confidence from this file alone.

Limitations and unresolved questions

• Capture integrity. The 0.59 problem probability means the text may be truncated, OCR-garbled, or dominated by the image with little explanatory prose. Any reading of the dossier must state this limitation explicitly.
• Secondary source. A source dossier is a compilation, not a laboratory report. Nothing in the capture constitutes experimental validation.
• Duplicate status. It is not established from this file alone whether the capture contains any text or figure not already present in Kozyrev's Causal Mechanics: The source archive Text-and-Figure Capture (Provisional Record).
• Mirrors. The capture does not describe mirror structures; the only mirror-related content is Kozyrev's theoretical discussion of a 'world reflected in a mirror' as a parity/causality argument, which is not a physical mirror device.
• Subject boundaries. Claims here belong to Kozyrev's causal mechanics as reported by the source archive. They should not be transferred to unrelated torsion-field, "scalar," or free-energy frameworks that merely share vocabulary.
