Loop Mega Universe (LMU): a cyclic black-hole cosmology framework — V3.29

Loop Mega Universe (LMU) is a worldview-level synthesis — explicitly a lens,not a new predictive theory — wiring established, cited physics into onecyclic black-hole cosmology. An aeon ends cold, dilute and clumpy; structurefunnels through a black-hole size ladder (L4 gas/stars → L3 galactic BH → L2BCG BH → L1 last survivor); the survivor stops spinning (Page) and evaporates— certainly (Hawking) — and its terminal flash triggers the ω-inflaton alreadysitting on the α-attractor plateau: a deterministic reset, no metastablebarrier, no tunnelling (the Coleman–De Luccia bubble is retained as thecomputed alternative). One flash = one ignition = one aeon: the new hot,smooth, dense start is simultaneous on the interior slicing, with densityarriving by in-place conversion of the plateau's vacuum energy. The re-openedentropy gap (Frautschi) — the aeon's fresh negentropy budget — re-arms thethermodynamic arrow; dilution into the unbounded substrate keeps the totalledger second-law-safe. Two axioms only (substrate + Λ). Every load-bearing claim carries one of eightstatus tags ([Fact], [Fact-theory], [Hypothesis], [Speculation], [Design],[Open], [Dead-end], [Auditor]); every mechanism is attributed to its owningliterature; dead ends are retained in failure logs. Pre-registered falsifierlines (immutable, OSF DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/CN3B4): F1 dark energy (canonicalthawing, no phantom crossing; DESI-Y5 ~2027), F2 black-hole spin (BHEX era),F4 tensor band (r ≈ 0.0037 spine within 0.0018–0.009, vs the currentr < 0.034; LiteBIRD/CMB-S4-decisive), F5 the predicted ABSENCE of CCC-styleHawking points (2023–24 reanalyses: consistent), F6 a tiny-positive-de-Sitterendgame (falsified by a confirmed future-AdS transition). V3.29 adds two research layers. (1) Wiring closure rounds 1–4, adversariallyverified: the identification ω = the prior aeon's conformal factor = theinflaton is not promotable to [Fact] by any local, dynamical, entropic, orgeometric principle tried — the residual freedom is a conformal-diffeomorphismzero-mode (gauge) plus one legitimately-free York initial datum plus thefield-wide amplitude input; the plateau reading is naturalness-favoured andmeasurement-decided. (2) The τ_aeon entropic-clock layer [Hypothesis,wiring-only]: the aeon's internal time is identified with the accumulatedcoarse-grained entropy flow of its own ledger — crawling on the tiny-de-Sittertail, diverging integrably into the deterministic terminal flash, stallingthrough inflation, re-arming at reheating — with a closed pre-bang form andthe identity "undiluting ⟺ timeless" (w = −1) compressing the cold→hottransition to a single statement. A twice-swept literature-ownership pass(~90 papers) finds this combination unoccupied among cosmological models;the operational laboratory precedent is Barontini (Phys. Rev. Research 8,L022047, 2026), with cosmological single-history neighbours credited(Weberszpil & Sotolongo-Costa 2026; Martyushev 2016; Hauret–Magain 2017;Bojowald–Tavakol 2008). A 14-agent stress test (continuity / logic / units)closed with all 36 findings fixed and verified. Empirical inventory (live-verified July 2026) includes DESI DR2, the six-reliccompilation (Cohn et al. 2025) with ALMA dynamical masses, JWST over-massiveblack holes (A2744-QSO1), GW231123 (LVK 2025), and the nanohertzgravitational-wave background across five pulsar timing arrays includingMeerKAT MPTA (Miles et al. 2025). The Planck spine is kept as the reference;post-Planck results are carried as tagged drift records.
