This working paper presents an ontological framework for cosmogenesis based on classical Einstein–Cartan gravity, geometric instability, and topological constraints on entropy dissipation. The work synthesizes a sequence of prior results concerning the instability of connected bounce geometries, the physical interpretation of spacetime fission, and the Topological H-Theorem. The central claim is that the Big Bang is not a primordial singularity or an imposed initial condition, but a derived dynamical event: a relaxation (decompression) of matter and geometry following a prior topological separation. Within this framework, physical time, entropy growth, and cosmological expansion emerge only after topological surgery, rather than preceding it. No new fields, Lagrangians, or dynamical equations are introduced. All arguments are formulated within established Einstein–Cartan gravity, geometric flow analysis, and standard causal structure. Inflation is reinterpreted as an effective description of an early relaxation phase rather than as a fundamental driving mechanism. The object remaining in the parent spacetime after separation is interpreted as a Topological Scar—a purely geometric remnant without interior matter—resolving standard conceptual tensions related to black holes, information loss, and energy conservation. This document is a working draft. The conceptual structure is fixed, while presentation, terminology, and exposition may be refined in subsequent versions. Future updates may include clarifications and extensions but will not alter the core ontological claims. The most recent version of this work is accessible via the Zenodo concept DOI associated with this record. This work constitutes the ontological synthesis of a series of prior results on topological instability, spacetime fission, and entropy obstructions (see Related works).
