Provided a quantitative explanation for the observations of galaxies at redshifts greater than 10.

Abstract

This paper is the third in the Lomas Framework series, extending Papers 1 and 2 with three primary original contributions. First, the Lomas Pressure-Phase Model formally defines the Vacuum as a low-pressure phase-state bubble manufactured by the Progenitor inside an infinite-pressure Void medium, modelling the Big Bang as the latent heat release of a first-order thermodynamic phase transition. Cosmic expansion is derived as thermodynamically spontaneous — the Vacuum phase has lower Gibbs free energy than the Void phase — eliminating the need for dark energy. Second, gravity is derived as a Void pressure gradient g = −∇P/ρ, shown to be locally equivalent to General Relativity while predicting a measurable anomalous lensing signal at cosmic void boundaries — the Pressure Wall — detectable by Euclid and DESI and with no GR analogue. Third, the Kinetic Resurrection mechanism derives relativistic ejection velocity vₑject ≥ 0. 9c from the outward Guderley blast wave following phase inversion, providing a quantitative first-principles explanation for JWST observations of massive mature galaxies at z > 10. Together with Papers 1 and 2, this paper completes a thermodynamically closed, mechanically specified, and multiply-falsifiable cyclic cosmological framework.
