Experimental Proposal: A Differential Test of One-Way Light Propagation Using a Macroscopic Accelerating Source in Vacuo

Authors: Eliyah Kilada
Comments: 12 Pages.

This paper proposes two complementary experimental configurations to test the independence of the one-way speed of light from source motion—a cornerstone of Special Relativity’s second postulate. While foundational, earlier literature methods were constrained by round-trip averaging, material interactions triggering extinction resets, re-emission biases from mirrors and slits, quantum ambiguities from subatomic sources, range and resolution of interferometer, and the inability to directly isolate one-way source dependence without synchronization assumptions. A key innovation is a differential measurement method using stationary detector arrays that eliminates the need for absolute clock synchronization,addressing a persistent issue in traditional one-way speed tests by avoiding any one-way synchronization circularity. Configuration A uses an accelerating macroscopic transmitter in vacuum with two stationary detectors, measuring how the arrival-time differential (∆t) varies with source velocity. Because both detectors remain at rest relative to each other, anysynchronization offset is a static constant that cancels out when measuring changes in ∆t—we never need to know the "absolute" time at eitherdetector, only how their relative measurements shift with source motion. Configuration B inverts this approach: a stationary light source with accelerating detector arrays, eliminating ambiguities about light emission in moving frames while maintaining the synchronization-free differential advantage. The designs avoid extinction concerns entirely by using dualdirect-emission sources without intervening media, slits, or reflections, ensuring propagation occurs solely in ultra-high vacuum (UHV, 10−9 Torr). By presenting both configurations—one with an accelerating source and stationary detectors (Config A), the other with a stationary source and accelerating detectors (Config B)—we provide complementary paths to testing the second postulate, sidestepping potential ambiguities relatedto light emission or propagation in moving frames. Modern femtosecond timing and ultra-high vacuum technology, along with cost-effectivecomponents like off-the-shelf lasers and acceleration systems, make theseexperiments feasible at a lab scale, with estimated costs under $300k.

Emergence of Spacetime and a Big-Bang—Like Singularity from Octonionic Algebra

Authors: Rüdiger Giesel
Comments: 9 Pages.

We present a conceptual framework in which the octonionic division algebra is taken asa pre-geometric fundamental structure. We demonstrate that the intrinsic non-associativityof the octonions excludes the existence of a fundamental global time and enforces a symmetry reduction in order to admit physically interpretable dynamics. This reduction occursthrough an algebraically singular transition, naturally interpreted as a Big-Bang—like origin.Four-dimensional spacetime emerges as a stable associative subalgebra, while cosmologicalexpansion arises as a necessary consequence of residual non-associative degrees of freedom.The framework is mathematically consistent but remains speculative and currently lacksexperimental support

Time as Phase Flow IV: Observational Signatures and Falsifiability in Late-Time Cosmology

Authors: Pruk Ninsook
Comments: 32 Pages.

The concordance ΛCDM model faces a persistent S8 tension between Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and late-time weak lensing observations. We propose a fundamental resolution via Geometric Dissipation within the Information-Geometric Spacetime (IGS) framework, where irreversible entropy production arises intrinsically from spacetime deformation. This mechanism generates an effective cosmic viscosity characterized by β = 1/(π√3) ≈ 0.1837, a value derived purely from geometric and information-theoretic considerations without free tuning parameters.The resulting suppression kernel, P_IGS / P_ΛCDM = exp[ -2β k^2 (1+z)^-3 ], operates specifically at late times (z ≲ 2) and quasi-linear scales (k ≳ 0.1 h/Mpc), effectively alleviating the S8 tension while preserving consistency with early-universe Planck data. Fisher matrix forecasts indicate that upcoming surveys such as Euclid and LSST will be capable of constraining β with a precision of σβ ≈ 0.0002, allowing for a decisive falsification or confirmation of the IGS hypothesis with extremely high statistical significance.

The Pivot Universe: A Stationary Kerr-Geometry Interpretation of JWST Observations

Authors: Arieh Sher
Comments: 3 Pages.

Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal massive,chemically evolved galaxies and compact massive objects (Little Red Dots) at redshifts z >10. In the standard ΛCDM model, these findings generate severe tensions with hierarchicalstructure-formation timescales. We propose the Pivot Universe (PU), a stationary Kerrlike gravitational system where redshift is a spatial coordinate z(r) rather than a measure ofcosmic time. Utilizing the specific Pivot parameters Mp = 7.82×10^53kg and Jp = 1.06×10^87Js, we derive a relativistic Hill radius (RH) that accounts for the observed morphologicaldiversity. We demonstrate that the "unpacking" of galaxies and the existence of compactLRDsare natural consequences of the tidal shear and gravitational potential near the Pivot’sevent horizon (Rs ≈ 122 Gly)

Causal Mechanical Cosmology [-]a Unified Framework[:] Universal Homeostasis Through Vortex Pressure Dynamics (VPD) and the Relational Frequency of the Sea

Authors: Leon Barbour
Comments: 3 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please the scientific references are not listed complete/standard manner; please cite listed scientific references in the article!)

This paper presents a unified mechanical cosmology modelling spacetime as a dynamic, compressible superfluid medium ("The Sea"). We define a singular foundational operator: Vortex Pressure Dynamics (VDP). We demonstrate that all observed stellar and galactic states—from Magnetar switches to Supermassive Black Holes (SMBH)—are scale-invariant mechanical equilibria of the vortex engine. We further resolve the Hubble Tension and the 2026 early-galaxy crisis by identifying the "Atom" as a reactive frequency anchor and providing a fluid-dynamic mapping for local cosmic voids.

Real Lord of the Rings [?]

Authors: Henry Patino
Comments: 4 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references and use scholarly/non-sensational article title)

We propose that the Big Bang singularity is a Kerr metric white hole, the time-reversed counterpart of a rotating black hole, through which God's infinite energy punctured into finite spacetime, creating matter, energy, spacetime, and dimensions instantaneously. This Kerr puncture at the Alpha Point resolves the infinite density paradox by extruding from transcendent infinity, avoiding material contradictions at t=0. Initial angular momentum (Genesis spin acceleration constant) imparts universal rotation, explaining cosmic spin without ad hoc conditions. The model integrates with chronodynamic time density, where spacetime thinning causes differential dilation—slower at the dense center, faster at edges—mimicking dark matter and dark energy effects.The Kerr ring geometry threads M-theory's 7 compact dimensions, with flux allowing energy ejection without collapse. Horizon dynamics reverse black hole growth, with 7D backflow preserving information.

Not Nurseries but Cemeteries [?]

Authors: Henry Patino
Comments: 3 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references and use scholarly/non-sensational article title)

In the Chronodynamic Cosmos, high-redshift regions are deep-future states with faster time flow due to spacetime thinning, leading to greater entropy. Distant galaxies are not "nurseries" but cemeteries—aged remnants with advanced stellar evolution, excess metallicity, and overmassive supermassive black holes (SMBHs) from longer proper time. Entropy S ~ ∫ dS increases faster with z, predicting rising supernova rates, dust/metallicity, and SMBH density beyond standard models. As SMBH production surges at edges, they cannibalize stars/galaxies/spacetime via Kerr punctures, halting expansion at the Maximum Boundary Extent (MBE) and initiating crunch. MBE occurs when SMBH fraction f_SMBH > 0.5, rolling back the universe like a scroll (Isaiah 34:4; Revelation 6:14). The model fits JWST anomalies (mature high-z galaxies).

Proposing the HRS Within the Des y6 Data

Authors: Jason Horsepool
Comments: 4 Pages.

Recent results from the Dark Energy Survey Year 6 (DES Y6) confirm a persistent ��8 clumpiness tension ( 0.79). We proposethe Non-local Field Energy (NFE) framework, governed by the core axiom �� + �� = 0, as a solution. We identify the "Horsepool Repulsion Signature" (HRS)—an outward radial acceleration in cosmic voids—predicting a tangential shear (���� ) deviation at1.2���� . Preliminary analysis of DES Y6 lensing profiles suggests a 2.3�� anomaly consistent with this repulsion, potentially reinterpreting systematic noise as a novel geometric signal.

Causal Mechanical Cosmology — Paper 3: Resolving Cosmic Anisotropy and the Hubble Tension Through Fluid Dynamics

Authors: Leon Barbour
Comments: 2 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite and list scientific references!)

Building on the causal-mechanical foundations established in the preceding works, this paper incorporates breakthrough 2026 observational data to resolve the Hubble Tension and the "Impossible Early Galaxy" crisis. It reinterprets black holes as homeostatic feedback valves (VPD) and identifies cosmic voids as fossilized records of wave rebound. By treating expansion as a local volumetric flux surge, this framework provides a forensic resolution to current cosmological anomalies without requiring dark energy or modified gravity.

Causal Mechanical Cosmology — Paper 2: Structural Emergence of Cosmological Phenomena from Timeless Causal Mechanics

Authors: Leon Barbour
Comments: 3 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite and list scientific references!)

This paper extends the causal-mechanical framework established in Paper 1 by applying its timeless structural principles to the emergence of cosmological phenomena. Using the symbolic system built on �� (fundamental causal magnitude), �� (causal density), and ∇ (structural gradient), the paper demonstrates how large-scale structure, apparent expansion, and energy-like behaviour arise from purely structural relationships. No temporal evolution is required; cosmological features emerge from invariant causal configurations governed by structural constraints. This approach provides a logically consistent alternative to time-dependent cosmology.

Dynamic Relativity: A Covariant Theory of Motion-Dependent Metric Scaling

Authors: Frank Buquicchio
Comments: 23 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references!) DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18325668

We present Dynamic Relativity (DR), a covariant extension of General Relativity in which the spacetime metric is subject to a dynamic conformal scaling factor governed by the 4-dimensional gradient of the gravitational potential. We propose a "Geometric Saturation" mechanism (˜ gµν ∼tanh √X) that recovers the Riemannian limit in high-gradient (Newtonian) regimes while generating anisotropic Weyl scaling in low-gradient (Galactic)regimes. This framework unifies the phenomenology of "Dark Matter," the Muon g−2 anomaly, and the Earth Flyby anomaly within a single parameter-free geometric model.We explicitly derive the **Dual-Action Mechanism**, demonstrating how the Lorentziansignature of spacetime allows local attractive gravity (subluminal) and global repulsive grav-ity (superluminal) to coexist in the same metric volume. We report the **empirical detec-tion** of the predicted mass-dependent saturation horizon in Gaia DR3 data, where widebinaries deviate from Newtonian dynamics at ≈2,500 AU. Finally, we present a quantita-tive residual analysis of GW150914, revealing anomalous damping consistent with vacuumrelaxation.

Causal Mechanical Cosmology — Paper 1: A Time-Free Reconstruction of Cosmological Structure Through Causal Primitives

Authors: Leon Barbour
Comments: 2 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite and list scientific references!)

This paper presents a causal-mechanical reconstruction of cosmological structure that operates without reference to time as a fundamental variable. Instead of temporal evolution, the framework relies on structural relationships between causal primitives, expressed through a symbolic system built on �� (fundamental causal magnitude), ∇ (structural gradient), and �� (causal density). These quantities define a timeless mechanical architecture in which structure emerges from invariant causal relationships rather than dynamical histories. This work refines the conceptual foundation for a broader trilogy exploring the consequences of a timeless, wave-driven universe.

Perspectives on Cosmic Topology: A Geometric Framework for Dark Energy and Quantum Discreteness via Quaternion Lattices

Authors: Mu Sung Lee
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references)

We propose a geometric framework in which spacetime emerges as a discrete 4D quaternion lattice with Planck-scale spacing. This addresses three fundamental puzzles:(1) Planck constant origin: h is identified as the mesh size of dimensional projection from 4D bulk to 3D boundary, explaining why quantum mechanics exhibits discreteness. This provides a geometric foundation for Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.(2) Hierarchy problem: The ratio of electromagnetic to gravitational force (~10^40) emerges naturally from geometric dilution: gravity couples to 4D bulk volume (proportional to a^4) while electromagnetism is confined to 3D boundary surface (proportional to a^3). Our calculation yields 10^38, within a factor of 100 of observation.(3) Dark energy: The lattice possesses intrinsic vacuum energy density. Since total energy increases with expansion (proportional to a^4) while density remains constant, we obtain the equation of state w = -1 exactly, matching observed accelerated expansion.As the universe expands, lattice mesh stretching predicts a time-variation of the fine-structure constant (alpha_dot / alpha approx -(1~3) x 10^-16 / yr), testable by next-generation atomic clocks within a decade. Quantum entanglement is reinterpreted as 4D bulk connectivity: particles separated in 3D remain connected via 4D paths, making apparent nonlocality a projection artifact.This framework is preliminary and requires mathematical development. We prioritize conceptual clarity and falsifiable predictions over formal rigor. We acknowledge critical feedback from AI reviewers that corrected an error in our dark energy derivation, strengthening the final result.

The Pivot Universe

Authors: Arieh Sher
Comments: 5 Pages.

The Pivot Universe (PU) model proposes that the large-scale structure of thecosmos is a stationary, axially symmetric gravitational system organized around a massiverotating central object, the Pivot. The Pivot generates a Kerr-like spacetime that governs thegeometry, redshift field, thermal structure, and effective Hubble parameter of the observableuniverse. Cosmic redshift is interpreted as the combined effect of gravitational time dilation,frame dragging, and special-relativistic Doppler motion, rather than as evidence of globalmetric expansion. The observable universe is confined to a thin radial band between thePivot’s outer event horizon R+ and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) shell. Weshow that temperature, redshift, and the effective Hubble parameter Heff (r) are differentmanifestations of a single underlying gravitational structure. The observed CMB temperatureof 2.725 K, the local Hubble constant at the Milky Way, and the extreme redshifts of high-zgalaxies such as JADES, CEERS, and LYNX arise naturally from this stationary geometry.

The Cosmological Lensing Effect

Authors: Binyamin Tsadik Bair Moshe
Comments: 20 Pages.

We propose that the discrepancy between local and high-redshift measurements of the Hubble Constant (H0) is resolved by the Cosmological Lensing Effect: an overlooked optical consequence of the local Large Scale Structure (LSS).By applying a relativistic refractive treatment to photon propagation through the local gravitational potential, we identify a frequency-dependent dispersion term required by the Equivalence Principle but neglected in the standard achromatic FLRW approximation. We demonstrate that a refractive index scaling as the cube root of frequency (alpha = 1/3) naturally reconciles the Pantheon+ Type Ia Supernova data with the Planck CMB acoustic scale.A joint likelihood analysis yields a best-fit background expansion of H0 = 67.53 ± 0.01 km/s/Mpc (stat.) with a total chi-squared statistically indistinguishable from the global unconstrained minimum.This effect reproduces the apparent acceleration of the universe as a chromatic lensing artifact, resolving the Hubble Tension without requiring a deviation from the standard high-redshift background expansion or the introduction of dark energy. Furthermore, the refractive efficiency of this gradient is sufficient to reproduce the observed magnitude-redshift relation using a purely baryonic mass budget (~1.8 x 10^76 protons); this effectively removes the local requirement for Dark Matter, which would otherwise induce excessive lensing magnification.

Time as Phase Flow III: Information-Geometric Backreaction and the Microscopic Origin of Temporal Inertia

Authors: Pruk Ninsook
Comments: 25 Pages.

The standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) faces persistent challenges from the Hu2080 and Su2088 tensions, alongside anomalies in early galaxy formation. In this work, we present a first-principles derivation of Information-Geometric Spacetime (IGS) dynamics within a unified action framework incorporating holographic backreaction. Treating the universe as an open quantum system in the Schwinger—Keldysh (in-in) formalism, we derive an effective temporal constitutive relation in which the conventional time evolution is replaced by a state-dependent phase response, suppressed by entanglement entropy. This deformation manifests as a modified time—energy commutation structure governed by an information-geometric coupling β. We show that β is not a phenomenological parameter, but a universal geometric quantity fixed by the causal-diamond structure in (3+1) dimensions, yielding β ≈ 0.1837. The resulting dynamics imply an emergent information-induced friction and a redshift-dependent effective cosmological constant, leading to a percent level suppression of late-time structure growth and providing a unified explanation of the Su2088 tension and early massive galaxy formation.

The Thirteen-Phase Asymmetric Toroidal Manifold (T^13): A Grand Unified Geometric Framework for the Asymmetric Toroidal Phase Model (ATPM)

Authors: Randy W. Hoggard
Comments: 42 Pages. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18239553

The unification of General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Field Theory (QFT) constitutes the premier unresolved challenge of contemporary theoretical physics. This report presents a comprehensive formalization of the 179-Degree Asymmetric Toroidal Phase Model (ATPM), a novel geometric framework that reconciles these disparate paradigms through a rigorous reevaluation of the topological substrate of reality. By synthesizing insights from Brane Gas Cosmology, Signal Processing Theory, and Discrete Geometry, we propose that the observable universe is not a stochastic assembly of particles in a vacuum, but a coherent standing-wave interference pattern emerging from a 13-dimensional toroidal manifold (T^13). Central to this framework is the Axiom of Existential Imperfection, which posits that physicalexistence is generated by a fundamental symmetry breaking—a 1-degree Phase Margin—between conjugate wave pairs offset by 179 degrees. This specific asymmetry prevents the total destructive interference characteristic of perfect symmetry (180 degrees), yielding a residual energy density that matches the phenomenological characteristics of the cosmos.This report exhaustively validates the model's parameters, identifying the Jackson-Sokal Constant (32/27) as the topological connectivity threshold (Jackson & Sokal, 2009) and the Barker Code Limit (N= 13) as the information-theoretic bound on particle generations (MathWorks, 2026). We provide a rigorous mathematical justification for the exclusion of the prime number 2 from the harmonic series to prevent resonant mode-locking, establishing a Prime-Phase Coded sequence (p_0_p_12) that maps precisely onto the Standard Model's 12 fermions and the Higgs field. Furthermore, the expansion of the model from the original 9-wave specification to a 13-wave architecture is shown to be necessary to satisfy the geometric "Kissing Number" constraints of sphere packing and the dimensional requirements of S-Theory.

Time as Phase Flow II: Information-Induced Temporal Inertia and Cosmological Perturbations in Information-Geometric Spacetime

Authors: Pruk Ninsook
Comments: 18 Pages.

We extend the Information-Geometric Spacetime framework from background evolution to the regime of linear perturbations to address cosmological tensions in a unified manner.Building on the "Time as Phase Flow" hypothesis, we propose that local matter overdensitiesperturb the entanglement structure of quantum fields across horizons, inducing a local modification of temporal flow interpreted as "information-induced temporal inertia" or information friction (Γinfo). By adopting a minimal closure relation where entanglement fluctuations are proportional to matter density contrast, governed by a coupling parameter α ≈ β ≈ 0.18 consistent with our previous background analysis, we derive the modified growth equationfor matter perturbations. The model naturally predicts a systematic suppression of latetime structure growth, yielding fσ8 values consistent with Redshift-Space Distortion (RSD) and weak lensing measurements without modifying Einstein’s field equations or invoking afifth force. These results provide a unified, information-theoretic resolution to both the H0and σ8 tensions through a single dynamical mechanism.

Time as Phase Flow: A Geometric Semiclassical Framework for Cosmological Anomalies (Implications for the Hubble Tension and Early Massive Galaxies from JWST)

Authors: Pruk Ninsook
Comments: 23 Pages.

We propose an information-geometric framework where spacetime emergence is driven by a phase operator conjugate to geometric area. In this model, proper time is not a fundamental background parameter but an emergent expectation value of the phase flow. By treating geometric degrees of freedom as primary information carriers, we derive Hawking temperature, the Page curve, and log-area entropy corrections without invoking external QFT mechanisms. Crucially, the framework predicts a dynamic cosmological constant $Lambda(z)$ that alleviates the Hubble tension to approximately 2$sigma$ and accounts for the high-redshift massive galaxies recently discovered by JWST. Our results provide a semiclassical bridge between quantum information and gravitational dynamics, offering a testable origin for the arrow of time.

The Universe as a Brane Bubble Inside a Black Hole: A Consistency Study of Singularity Avoidance via Junction Conditions

Authors: Jacob Halaas
Comments: 14 Pages.

We investigate the mathematical consistency of a scenario in which our observable universe is modeled as a 3+1 brane bubble in a five-dimensional bulk, with the brane forming before a classical singularity develops. To permit an expanding FRW brane inside the horizon, we interpret the relevant interior region as the time-reversed (white-hole) branch of the maximally extended geometry. We do not derive the brane formation mechanism from first principles; rather, we demonstrate that if such a brane forms with suitable tension, the resulting cosmology is self-consistent and broadly consistent with current observations at the order-of-magnitude level. Using the 5D Israel—Darmois junction conditions, we obtain the modified Friedmann equation on the brane with the ρ² correction and a dark-radiation term from the bulk Weyl tensor. We analyze dynamical evolution, including conditions for bounce or recollapse, and provide benchmark scale estimates for horizon size and early-time expansion rates under representative brane-tension inputs. This work is intended as a consistency study establishing the viability of the brane-bubble picture, rather than a complete dynamical model of brane formation.

Center as a Common Generative Principle Across Scientific Disciplines

Comments: 8 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: For the last time, please cite and listed scientific references) Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18203784

Across scientific disciplines-physics, biology, astronomy, mathematics, and systems theory-the same functional entity appears under different names: nucleus, core, zero, source, axis, gravitational center, or black hole. These concepts are typically treated as discipline-specific, without explicit recognition of their common generative role. This paper demonstrates that all these terms describe the same organizational principle: the center as a necessary condition for the emergence and maintenance of structure. The paper does not introduce a new entity or a new force, but identifies an already existing, yet fragmentarily treated concept. A minimal generative algorithm C + Y → S is proposed, where the center (C) generates structure (S) through the transfer of energy or information (Y). The claim is strictly falsifiable: the theory fails if a stable structure without a center or without any transfer is demonstrated.

Radiation Regulated Scalar Coupling A Modified Gravity Framework for Galaxy Dynamics

Authors: Rohit Singh Roy
Comments: 29 Pages.

We present a covariant modified gravity framework in which gravitational dynamics are mediated by a scalar field whose effective coupling to baryonic matter is regulated by local radiation energy density. Unlike conventional scalar—tensor theories that rely on fixed coupling constants or ad hoc screening mechanisms, the proposed model introduces radiation energy density as a physically motivated control parameter governing scalar—matter interaction strength. The scalar field obeys a density-gradient—sourced field equation, ensuring negligible deviations from General Relativity in high-radiation or relativistic environments while allowing measurable effects in low-radiation, non-relativistic galactic regimes.We derive the weak-field limit of the theory and obtain a modified Poisson equation that naturally enhances rotational velocities without invoking non-baryonic dark matter. The framework preserves energy—momentum conservation and remains compatible with Solar System constraints, early-universe cosmology, and gravitational lensing bounds under reasonable parameter choices. This radiation-regulated coupling mechanism provides a unified physical explanation for scale-dependent gravitational behavior and avoids fine-tuned potentials or environmental screening fields.The model offers a testable alternative to dark matter by predicting specific correlations between radiation environments and dynamical mass discrepancies, with clear observational implications for galaxy rotation curves, low-surface-brightness systems, and intergalactic environments. This work extends earlier density-dependent scalar frameworks and provides a physically grounded pathway toward emergent gravitational modification driven by local energetic conditions.Earlier works from where it's refined https://ai.vixra.org/abs/2507.0066

LAP1-B: First Observational Candidate for a Population III Star Cluster and Its Implications for Thermosynthesis Cosmological Theory

Authors: Adrian Fernandez
Comments: 4 Pages. (Note by ai.viXra.org Admin: Please cite listed scientific references) https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18165265

We present a rigorous theoretical and observational analysis of LAP1-B, a gravitationally lensed stellar cluster at redshift z = 6.61 ± 0.02, corresponding to a cosmic age of 830 ± 15 Myr, recently observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Spectroscopic data reveal extreme properties: an Hα equivalent width of 4200 Å, absence of metal lines (e.g., [O III] < 180 Å), and a top-heavy initial mass function (IMF), consistent with Population III (Pop III) star formation. Withinthe framework of Thermosynthesis Cosmological Theory (TTC), we interpret LAP1-B as anatural outcome of early thermosynthetic cycles, where rapid feedback from pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) drives chemical enrichment on sub-Myr timescales. We demonstrate quantitative agreement between observations and TTC predictions for primordial halos, including IMF shape, star formation rate, and metal yields. The system provides direct empirical support for TTC’s resolution of the early structure formation tension and validates its core tenet: accelerated chemical enrichment via recursive, entropy-driven stellar nucleosynthesis.

Regular Simplex Hierarchical Gravity Part I: Geometric Derivation of the Gravitational Constant and Resolution of the Cosmological Constant Problem v1.1

Authors: Ryuhei Sato
Comments: 10 Pages. v1.1

We derive the gravitational constant G and the cosmological constant Λ from first principles,requiring zero adjustable parameters, by analyzing the geometric frustration inherent in 600-celltessellation of four-dimensional space. When five regular tetrahedra meet at a shared edge, theyfail to close by a deficit angle δ ≈ 7.36◦, generating intrinsic curvature without requiring external embedding dimensions. Combining Israel junction conditions with Regge calculus, we obtainG = 6.60 × 10−11 m3/(kg·s2), achieving 1.1% agreement with the observed value—a precisionunprecedented for parameter-free derivations. We introduce the concept of informational Paulirepulsion—the inevitable information collision during dimensional reduction from infinite to threedimensions—which serves as the physical driver of cosmic expansion and will be detailed in PartII as the origin of dark energy. The 122-order-of-magnitude discrepancy between quantum fieldtheory’s vacuum energy prediction (∼ 10113 J/m3) and observation (∼ 10−9 J/m3) is resolved towithin a factor of two via holographic screening: a global information overlap factor Ωglobal ∼ 10122suppresses the bare frustration energy. This geometric framework establishes the foundation for Part II’s derivation of the Light-Speed Resource Allocation Principle (LRAP) and the reinterpretation of black hole singularities as computational arrest zones, culminating in Part III’s proof that six-fold hierarchical jamming transitions are arithmetically necessary to maintain thermodynamic stability.

Quantum Fluctuations as the Substrate of Spacetime

Authors: Steven Hammon
Comments: 34 Pages.

This paper introduces the concept of the vacuum energy field and excited quantum fluctuations, relating specifically to their relation to the stress-energy tensor, and the ramifications of that, especially in regard to waves propagating through the vacuum energy field. It explores how the vacuum energy field is warped by mass, how it is excited by intense regions of field volatility, and touches on how the gravitational effects of spacetime could be applied to this field. It also explores gravitational effects in regard to time dilation, a MEMS experiment to observe vacuum energy phenomena and proposes experiments and models that could test the predictions.

Velocity Time Dilation and Spacetime Frame Dragging

Authors: Steven Hammon
Comments: 35 Pages.

This paper explores the ramifications of non-particulate vacuum energy as the medium in which electromagnetic and gravitational waves propagate. This has been explored in the past and rejected based on experimental data, but recent discoveries have added credence to the possibility that the experiment’s conclusions could have been inaccurate. The Michelson-Morley Experiment found a null result ruling out the possibility of Earth traveling through a light-propagating medium. However, with Inflation Theory posing that spacetime flowed out faster than light could travel, then we have to consider that spacetime can flow. With the evidence that the Gravity B probe provided about frame dragging, there is the possibility that spacetime is dragged with the Earth. This then allows us to explore how a spacetime medium can affect velocity time dilation and the ramifications of how a dynamic spacetime medium may behave.

A Unified Model for Gravitational and Velocity Time Dilation

Authors: Steven Hammon
Comments: 35 Pages.

This paper builds on the work from two previous papers. Quantum Fluctuations as the Substrate of Spacetime establishes the Fundamental Energy Field (FEF) as the mechanism for forming particles, gravitational time dilation, and potentially dark matter. Velocity Time Dilation and Spacetime Frame Dragging explores velocity time dilation, frame dragging, potential warp bubbles, and crucially, the proposition that time dilation is equal to the average delay of quantum "Cause and Effect" propagation across the x, y, and z axes relative to the direction of motion. This paper argues that without factoring the total time dilation of individual areas of the cosmos at different times in history, there is a possibility that we are interpreting observations without the full picture of the underlying reality. This requires the introduction of a comprehensive total time dilation factor (Γ), which integrates static gravitational field density (γg), velocity-induced field compression (γξ), and kinematic velocity (Γv). The resulting model offers a more comprehensive view of cosmological phenomena and proposes new time dilation maps. These can be overlaid and combined with existing cosmological models to potentially shed light on many current mysteries of the universe.

Dark Energy as a Cosmic Shell Universe

Authors: Steven Hammon
Comments: 24 Pages.

This paper reinterprets cosmology through the lens of non-particulate vacuum energy. It explores the mechanics of a hypothesized Big Bounce cyclic universe, consisting of a shock-wave shell with potentially black hole density beyond the cosmological horizon. It considers how Newton’s Shell Theorem may not hold for a dynamically evolving shell with finite gravitational propagation speeds, leading to a net expansion of the observable universe accelerating toward the shell. Finally, the model outlines testable predictions.
