Critical analysis highlights observational significance of AtLAST for understanding high-redshift galaxies, suggesting future cosmological implications.
This article presents a critical-propositional analysis of the work by Chen, Pu, Okumura, Wang, Hsu, Arrigoni Battaia, Smail, and Cowie, A Forecast of a Cosmological Redshift Survey for AtLAST, published on Zenodo under DOI https://doi.org/10. 5281/zenodo.12202255. The analyzed study proposes the use of the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope, AtLAST, for cosmological redshift surveys of dusty star-forming galaxies, known as DSFGs, especially at redshifts above approximately z ∼ 3. The proposal is relevant to the Hubble tension, baryon acoustic oscillation measurements, the study of the cosmic web, protoclusters, cosmic star-formation-rate density, dust-mass density, and molecular-gas density in epochs that remain poorly constrained by current observational cosmology. The present analysis confronts the article with the Theory of Objectivity, hereafter TO, especially with its modal axioms, phenomenic elements, Inducer Effects, cosmogonic theorem, and cosmological Eras. It argues that the work by Chen et al. has high dialogi- cal value for TO because it offers an observational bridge to high-redshift regions, where patterns of structure, radiation, dust, gas, and galaxy formation may be reinterpreted as phenomenological expressions of cosmic memory, recursive composition, convergence zones, and information production in atomic relations. At the same time, the analysis identifies points of tension, especially the dependence on the ΛCDM paradigm, the ex- pansive interpretation of redshift, the use of dark-matter simulations, and the standard reading of BAO as a metric ruler of expansion. The conclusion is that the article does not directly confirm TO, but it offers an empirical-prospective field of great importance for future confrontations between observational cosmology and the modal discipline of objectivity.
