Horizon-Quantized Informational Vacuum (HQIV): A Covariant Baryon-Only Cosmological Framework from Quantised Inertia

Key Points

The research aims to develop a covariant cosmological framework rooted in the conservation of informational energy.
Derived from a single axiom of conserved total informational energy
Implemented causal-horizon cutoffs on vacuum modes
Focused exclusively on baryon-only components
Introduced a novel framework for baryon-only cosmology
Provided insights into the relationship between information and cosmological structures
Offered a new perspective on quantified inertia in cosmological theories

Abstract

HQIV is a covariant cosmoligical framework derived from the single axiom of conserved total informational energy with cuasal-horizon cutoffs on vacuum modes (Quantized Inertia). It is strictly baryon-only.
