Zero Absolute as an Emergent Origin: Dual Limits, Quantum Entropy, and the Meaning of 1

This preprint presents a conceptual framework in which absolute zero is interpreted as an origin reference rather than a terminal boundary. The work explores a dual evolutionary structure emerging from absolute zero: a thermodynamic branch associated with temperature increase and ordinary matter, and a quantum-informational branch associated with entropy, correlations, and non-classical structures. The framework is supported by the mathematical behavior of the function xˣ, which converges to unity as x 0^+, highlighting emergence through controlled limits in contrast to indeterminate forms such as 0/0. Quantum von Neumann entropy is employed to interpret time as an emergent phenomenon arising from entropy growth in open quantum systems. The universe is discussed as such an open system, where emergence and structure formation arise without requiring singular or explosive origin scenarios. This work is intended as a foundational conceptual contribution, suitable for extension in subsequent versions.
