In standard Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC), the universe — particularly regions outside the bounds of heavy gravitational influence — expands toward infinite dilution, eventually reaching a conformal, scale-invariant state from which a new aeon emerges. We present a conceptual extension in which causally disconnected, massless regions within the universe independently approach this conformal state, forming ’Nodes of Time’. These regions, bounded by redshift-defined cosmic horizons and devoid of massive particles, lose internal entropy gradients and become locally conformally invariant. We propose that such domains, upon becoming conformally invariant, may be rescaled into geometries that mirror early-universe conditions, offering an alternative pathway to primordial structure without invoking a singular origin. This multiversal noding process circumvents the need for speculative mechanisms such as electron decay or global entropy resets. Each node does not originate from a high-energy event in the prior frame of reference, but rather from the onset of geometric decoupling and thermodynamic neutrality; a processthat, once rescaled, may appear internally as an energetic beginning. Rather than a sequential rebirth of the cosmos, this framework proposes a distributed origin model, where new cosmogenesis events occur locally within a universe that continues to accelerate outward — from all reference points — beyond observational horizons. The model remains falsifiable through violations of its boundary assumptions, offering a redefinition of cosmogenesis grounded in known physics and conformal geometry.

We explore the thermodynamics of self-gravitating systems with negative heat capacity (C < 0) and develop a classical model for gravitational attraction. Our approach shows that heat flows from colder to hotter regions, reversing typical thermal diffusion. This process generates an entropic force dependent on temperature and the spatial change in entropy. In regions of high acceleration (a >> a0), this force matches Newtonian gravity, proportional to the inverse square of distance. In low-acceleration regions (a << a0, where a0 ≈ 1.2 × 10-10 m/s2), it transitions to an effective acceleration that scales with the square root of the product of classical acceleration and a critical value, aligning with Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and explaining galactic rotation curves. Unlike models using quantum effects or holography, our derivation relies solely on classical thermodynamics and the self-heating of gravitating systems. This perspective redefines gravity as an emergent outcome of heat concentration, connecting classical physics to astrophysical observations without requiring dark matter.
