Abstract Geometry of Cosmic Tension (GCT) proposes a pre-geometric framework in whichspacetime is not fundamental but emerges from structural relational dynamics. We begin byexamining the absolute void and find it to be dynamically unstable, generating an intrinsicstructural tension within the evolving medium. That tension encodes relational differencesand produces five distinct propagation behaviours as stable responses to instability. Threeextend to form spatial dimensions, while a fourth manifests as a temporal memory axis.Propagation modes that cannot be fully resolved within the framework are compacted andstratified into scalar layers, collectively treated as a single effective dimension, establishing afive-dimensional topological structure. Energy emerges as a property of the evolving structure and is translated into the standard Hamiltonian field energy. Within this framework,cosmic inflation occurs when the system crosses a critical structural threshold, correspondingto a phase transition from the pre-spacetime relational regime to the geometric spacetimemanifold observed today. As a result, inflation is super-exponential, evolving over time. Thismodel provides a mechanism for the emergence of spacetime, thereby removing the need fora classical Big Bang singularity.
