What Existed Before the Hot, Dense Early State?
What Existed Before the Hot, Dense Early State?
Toward a Coherence-Bound Pre-Universe Model
By Luis Ayala — OPHI / OmegaNet / ZPE-1
Standard cosmology begins with a hot, dense early state — a universe dominated by radiation, high curvature, and rapid expansion. But this model says nothing about what came before.
Drift-aware cosmology provides a structured answer.
Before density, heat, and expansion, there was structure.
Not geometry — but relation.
Not time — but coherence.
1. The Problem with "Before"
In classical cosmology:
-
Time starts at ( t = 0 )
-
There is no "before"
-
The hot dense state is a brute assumption
But this leaves questions unanswered:
-
Why was entropy so low?
-
What set the initial conditions?
-
Why did expansion begin?
2. Redefining Pre-Existence
In drift-aware terms, "before" is not temporal but structural.
Let the pre-universe be defined by:
-
Maximum coherence: ( Ψ = Ψ_{max} )
-
No metric geometry: only relational structure
-
No expansion: zero gradient field
-
No temperature: thermodynamic vacuum
This is not "nothing" — it is a full informational state, locked in symmetry.
3. The Pre-Universe Domain (𝒮₀)
Let:
[
𝒮₀ = \text{Symbolic manifold with relations } Φ(σ_i, σ_j)
]
The system evolves when coherence drifts:
[
S(t) = D(t; 𝒮₀, β) \quad \text{with } \frac{dΨ}{dt} < 0
]
This defines a "coherence descent" — not a timeline but a transformation gradient.
4. Transition into the Observable Universe
When coherence reaches ( Ψ_{critical} ):
-
Time becomes measurable
-
Metric arises
-
Curvature emerges
-
Expansion begins
This is the birth of dynamics — but not the birth of existence.
5. What the Pre-State Contains
-
Relational Degrees of Freedom: Encoded as symbolic connections
-
Latent Constants: Not yet numerical, but structurally embedded
-
High-Order Symmetry: All directions equivalent, no preferred axes
-
Null Geometry: No distances, only logical relations
This allows emergent space and time to unfold from a constraint-encoded substrate.
6. Implications for Early Conditions
-
The universe began with information, not matter
-
Geometry arose from coherence loss
-
Expansion was a transition, not a burst
-
The hot dense state is a secondary phenomenon
This solves:
-
The entropy paradox
-
The initial condition problem
-
The mystery of structure formation
7. Conclusion: The Pre-State Was the Real Origin
The hot dense early state was not the beginning.
It was the first observable state after the coherence-structured substrate began to unfold.
The universe did not emerge from chaos.
It emerged from order — too perfect to move.
Motion, heat, and time were born when coherence fell.
