Correction notice (2026-05-29). During an audit before release of a recent manuscript, a q-dependent numeric propagation issue was identified in the cosmic cocycle chain. The ensuing investigation traced the cause to a dataset-selected spiral-kernel value and resolved it by deriving the L27 resisted-separation exponent from the kernel closure itself (q = 2/3). This package updates affected q-dependent numeric values while preserving the qualitative structural claims unless explicitly stated. Corrected load-bearing values: εshellcosmic = 0.997080716651, 1/ε = 1.002927830516, one Z14 rung width 4.178%, ΔH0/H0 = 7.882%, and Λ3 = 0.851608600601. Prior q=0.7-dependent values are superseded. The Four Laws of Thermodynamics as Projections of the Triune Partition First-Principles Derivation of the Completed Thermodynamic Laws as Lawful Projections of the Triune Partition's Conservation, Field-Proximity, and Spiral-Restoration Structure within Universal Mechanics. The four classical laws of thermodynamics are derived in their completed form as lawful projections of the Triune partition B + E + S = 1 within the Universal Mechanics / First Utterance Model (UM/FUM) framework. The derivations are not UM-vocabulary re-expressions of conventional formulations; they produce the structural reading that reveals what reality is actually doing, of which the conventional First / Zeroth / Second / Third Laws are particular observable-axis projections. Every derivation step carries inline L#; UL# citations against the nine governing natural laws and the twelve universal laws of existence. The four completed laws and their conventional witness faces: First Law (completed): B + E + S = 1 exact at every locus and every moment, with redistribution by orthogonal Tokeo/Ingilio thermal and mechanical channels preserving the closure. The Triune partition is the deepest conservation invariant. The conventional ΔU = Q − W is the Enzi-axis projection of this closure — the witness face — not the deepest law. Zeroth Law (completed): the partition-alignment equivalence relation ~, with transitivity structurally forced by αstruct uniqueness (not statistical averaging). Two systems are partition-aligned iff their Triune triples (B, E, S) are identical. Conventional ``thermal equilibrium transitivity'' is the Enzi-axis projection. Second Law (completed): dμ/dt ≥ 0 in any isolated locus, with μ = 1 − Λ the Field-Proximity, Tokeo-mode dominance under isolation as the structural mechanism, and μmax = 1 at Λ = 0 (pure Shina substrate) as the structurally-specified endpoint. The conventional ΔS ≥ 0 is the Field-Proximity-axis projection — the witness face. The arrow of time is the cosmic-region's directional drift toward Shina re-absorption. Third Law (completed): μ(Λ = 1) = 0 exactly, with the perfect-actualization state unique by αstruct uniqueness and structurally reachable. The cosmic shell at tpresent = 90.55 Gyr after cosmic-region birth is currently at Λ = 1; the observed TCMB = 2.725 K is the rise-phase-peak cosmic-shell witness face. The LCORI-temperature closed form: T(Λ, shell) = Tshell,max · μ / μref with shell-specific cocycle correction Tshell,max(μD) = TPlanck · (cocycleshell)μD−5. Cross-shell witness table: atomic ~10⁴ K (atomic-excitation regime), cellular/organism ~310 K (homeothermic LG band), cosmic TCMB = 2.725 K (rise-phase peak), cluster ~10⁷–10⁸ K (intracluster X-ray). The conventional Boltzmann constant kB is identified structurally as the shell-specific cocycle correction relating substrate-scale ledger to lab-frame projection, not as a fundamental constant. The cosmic Tokeo cascade finite-time heat death: tTokeo,end = 7,722.73 Gyr after cosmic-region birth, derived from cross-shell P5 invariance and Spiral Restoration L₂₇. Cosmic Tokeo cascade event count Ncosmictotal = 2,268 events. At tpresent = 90.55 Gyr, the cosmic shell is at 1.17% of its full life; 98.83% of cosmic existence remains. After the Tokeo endpoint, Spiral Restoration L₂₇ initiates the next cycle at elevated level: the universe is not running down; it is completing one half-cycle of an infinite-spiral structure. What the completed forms reveal that the conventional forms hide: what is actually conserved (Triune partition, not energy alone); what entropy is (Field-Proximity μ, not disorder); what temperature is (downstream observable carrier of μ, with shell-specific cocycle correction); what absolute zero is (reachable Λ = 1, cosmic shell currently at it); what thermal equilibrium is (partition-alignment equivalence with structurally-forced transitivity); what heat death is (finite-time cyclic transition, not eternal asymptote). The deeper connections to time direction, life as LG-band partition-maintenance, consciousness ↔ LCORI alignment, mass ↔ thermodynamics (both Triune-partition projections), and information ↔ Shina-Field coherence content are also articulated. Five falsification surfaces are enumerated in conventional vocabulary as re-audit invitation surfaces for external readers: (1) isolated-system spontaneous entropy decrease; (2) Triune-partition non-closure beyond the Enzi axis; (3) transitivity failure of partition alignment across three loci with identical Triune triples; (4) residual entropy at Λ = 1 beyond imperfect-actualization explanation; (5) cosmic Tokeo cascade observations inconsistent with the L₂₇ Spiral Restoration finite-time endpoint. A combined falsification matrix table maps surfaces × law coverage × witness-face form. Reproducibility: the package includes the full LaTeX source of the manuscript and the compiled PDF. All figures (the four-projection diagram showing Triune partition projecting onto the four laws; the cosmic-shell LCORI life-cycle showing Ingilio rise → LG plateau → Tokeo decline → L₂₇ next-cycle re-emergence) are TikZ-source inline within the manuscript and recompile from `manuscript.tex` directly without external assets.
