CYCLIC INVERSION THEORY (CIT) A First-Principles Framework for Cyclic Cosmology Version 7, March 21st, 2026

v7. 0 updates (March 2026): LHC heavy-ion section revised — prior v6 prediction of abrupt v₂ threshold withdrawn as unsupported by RHIC BES data; replaced with SNEC general formulation (DoV = λ × Φ/A) which correctly reproduces smooth v₂ scaling, and v₃ persistence anomaly identified as revised testable signature. New section: 2025-2026 Empirical Updates covering DESI evolving dark energy (2. 8-4. 2σ), JWST Little Red Dots as DCBH candidates (Pacucci et al. 2026), LIGO O4 results including GW250114 Hawking area theorem confirmation (4. 1σ), and Euclid cosmology data release (pending October 2026). Prediction categorization revised: consistencies with existing data explicitly distinguished from forward predictions. Section XI ‘What Is Solid’ restructured into four honest categories: mechanically sound, consistent with observations, corrected, and mathematically verifiedVersion 6. 0 update (March 14, 2026): Major additions include (1) singularity interior resolved as Cosmological Critical Mass event via DoV = λαg threshold mechanism; (2) generalized identity DoV = λαg integrated as CIT scalar displacement field component, verified across seven systems spanning twenty orders of magnitude in Eddington ratio; (3) illustrative displacement field simulation across 42 systems confirming CIT-consistent field patterns; (4) tensor gap closed in principle — assembly project identified with existing mathematics and survey data. Previous version (v5) retained for continuity. Three interconnected working papers: Cyclic Inversion Theory (CIT), Density of Value (DoV), and a working note on their convergence through the identity DoVEddington = αg. Priority timestamp document.
