This paper proposes a formal research program inspired by Advaita Vedanta to explore how temporal experience may arise through observer-relative conditioning. It connects philosophical concepts such as adhyāsa (superimposition), vivarta (apparent transformation), upādhi (limiting adjuncts), saṃskāra (mental impressions), and aviveka (non-discrimination) with modern questions in quantum foundations and relational time.

The paper argues that the Advaitic framework offers a coherent and testable philosophical basis for understanding how the experience of time is constructed through the observer’s conditioning rather than being an objective feature of reality. It proposes intersections between Vedantic epistemology and relational interpretations of quantum mechanics.
