Dark Energy as Computational Overhead: A System-Architectural Reinterpretation of Cosmic Expansion (Paper V)

This paper proposes a radical reinterpretation of dark energy as the computational overhead required for the execution of physical laws and the dynamic allocation of space-time resources. By framing cosmic expansion as the growth of a system's memory-addressing space, we demonstrate that the observed accelerated expansion naturally emerges from the increasing complexity and information-processing demands of the "Cosmic OS." This framework reconciles the cosmological constant problem by shifting the focus from vacuum energy density to the operational costs of a hardware-constrained reality.
