This paper introduces a chronology-first ontology extending the Mutual Information Density Hypothesis (MIDH), positing chronology (ordered stabilization of updates) and correlation (mutual binding of patterns) as fundamental primitives. Time emerges as parametrization over chronology, while space arises as the geometric projection of correlation structures. The framework resolves paradoxes such as time travel (rendered incoherent), spatial infinity (undetermined beyond correlations), and reversibility asymmetries. A key relation, E = I × 𝒞², formalizes correlational energy as inertial resistance multiplied by squared correlation amplitude, deriving relativistic mechanics as a special case. Grounded in information theory, it reframes physics without primitive spacetime, offering implications for quantum mechanics, cosmology, and ontology.
