In standard (3+1)-dimensional ΛCDM cosmology, three foundational questions remain unresolved: (i) why the dimensionality and fundamental constants of nature take their observed values rather than any other point in an arbitrary multiverse landscape; (ii) what the global spatial topology and total physical size of the universe are beyond the observable particle horizon (R_obs,0 = 46.51 Gly, D_obs,0 = 93.02 Gly); and (iii) how a cyclic universe avoids Tolman's entropic accumulation paradox while originating in Penrose's low-entropy initial state. In this monograph, we prove that within Covariant Bitemporal Geometrodynamics (CBG), all three problems are uniquely resolved without free parameters by the vanishing of the Master Zero-Sum Variational Field Operator Ξ̂_AB[M₃,₂] = 0 and the 1-loop vacuum holonomy invariant Φ_∞ = (α_EM / 30)(1 − (5/3)α_EM) = 2.40286677 × 10⁻⁴ (Φ_∞⁻¹ = 4,161.695575). First, we prove the Dimensional Uniqueness Theorem: simultaneous absence of Ostrogradsky ghosts, symplectic spinor isomorphism Spin(3,2) ≃ Sp(4,R), nonsingular signature inversion (K₅ < ∞), and stable Keplerian/atomic bound states uniquely select (dₜ, dₛ, D) = (2, 3, 5), arithmetically locking N_Cartan = 30, D_config = 17, and the unique Epstein–Riemann ζ(4) = π⁴/90 Casimir root Φ_∞, precluding any alternative universe with different fundamental constants. Second, identical vanishing of the canonical ADM Hamiltonian (H_tot[Σ₃ × S¹ₜ₂] ≡ 0) and smooth continuity across the bounce throat Σ₄^(cosmo) ≃ S¹ₜ₂ × S³ require global 3-space Σ₃ to be a closed 3-sphere S³ (∂Σ₃ = ∅, k = +1) of present-day curvature radius R_tot,0^(CBG) = Φ_∞⁻¹ r_H,0 = c / (H₀ Φ_∞) = 5.711914 × 10²⁹ m (60.3750 Tly or 18.5111 Tpc), antipodal distance π R_tot,0 = 189.6736 Tly, equatorial circumference 2π R_tot,0 = 379.3472 Tly, and spatial curvature parameter Ω_K,0^(CBG) = −Φ_∞² = −5.773769 × 10⁻⁸. Third, the global 3-sphere volume V_tot,0 = 2π² R_tot,0³ = 3.678534 × 10⁹⁰ m³ encompasses N_domains = 1.030962 × 10¹⁰ (10.31 billion) disjoint observable-sized domains (N_b,tot = 9.251629 × 10⁸⁹ baryons, M_b,tot = 1.547448 × 10⁶³ kg), while at the primordial bounce (a_bounce = 1.97275 × 10⁻³²) the entire global 3-sphere had a macroscopic radius of R_b,tot = 1.1268 cm and volume 28.2417 cm³ (enclosing our 17.3600 μm observable patch). Finally, we prove that while the 5D von Neumann entropy on H_t1 ⊗ H_t2 vanishes identically (S_total^(5D) ≡ 0), the projected 4D thermodynamic entropy S_therm,t1(a) = w₁(a) S_mat+rad(a) is governed by w₁(a) = [1 + Φ(a)²]⁻¹. As a → a_bounce (σ → 1), w₁ → 0 and w₂ → 1, offloading all thermal entropy of the contracting cycle into the coherent S¹ₜ₂ phase condensate (S_therm,t1(a_bounce) = 0) and resetting every cosmic cycle up to the global symplectic ceiling S_tot / k_B = 6.163300 × 10¹²⁹ bits (with exact ratio S_tot / S_Hubble = (π/2) Φ_∞⁻² = 2.720574 × 10⁷).
