The Ontological Emergence of the Universe: Single-Moment Time and Encompassing Constraint

Abstract This study proposes an ontological interpretation of cosmic origin and structure grounded in the non-storable nature of time. If the universe exists only within a single, continuously renewed present moment, then it cannot contain or accumulate its own temporal history. From this perspective, the universe cannot be self-grounding with respect to time and must instead emerge within a broader ontological domain that exceeds it.The Big Bang is interpreted not as an explosion within space, but as the moment of ontological entry by which the universe unfolds into spacetime. As the universe expands, it remains subject to an encompassing constraint that prevents dispersion and establishes universal interdependence among its constituents. The resulting collective interaction gives rise to stable geometric asymmetries, including axial tilt, understood here as an emergent signature of ontological coupling rather than a contingent anomaly.
