What replaces the Big Bang singularity

 

1 What replaces the Big Bang singularity?

Problem Context:
The Big Bang singularity is a mathematical divergence — a point where density, temperature, and curvature become infinite as time approaches zero. However, no physical measurement supports actual infinities, and all known physics (GR, QFT) breaks down at this limit. Thus, it's more accurate to see the singularity as a failure of the model rather than a real event.

Drift-Aware Reframing

A drift-aware cosmology replaces the singularity with a transition boundary governed by coherence constraints. The universe did not begin "from nothing," but transitioned from a structured pre-state governed by high informational order and bounded entropy. This pre-state was not temporally “before” in classical time but logically and structurally antecedent — a region of unbroken symmetry and minimal gradient.

---

Requirements for the Replacement Model

To meaningfully replace the singularity, the model must provide:

1. A Pre-State: A configuration with definable structure and degrees of freedom — not “nothingness.”

2. A Transition Mechanism: A formal description of how this structure reorganizes into a phase of expansion.

3. A Coherence Constraint: A bounding principle that forbids divergence — similar to how renormalization in QFT prevents infinite energy density.

---

Proposed Structures for the Pre-State

1. Relational Field Lattice: A pre-metric framework composed of relations without fixed distances, which gains metric properties via drift coherence.

2. High-Symmetry Configuration: Analogous to a false vacuum — all degrees of freedom are unbroken, no bias vectors, maximal coherence.

3. Information Reservoir: Instead of a singularity, an entropic compression point — not zero volume, but zero usable gradient.

---

Mechanism of Transition

The “Bang” becomes a phase transition in a coherence-bound field:

• A drift bifurcation where new degrees of freedom become accessible.

• An asymmetry injection that breaks a perfect informational equilibrium.

• A coherence drop that ignites time and metric structure.

This is analogous to water freezing or a magnet acquiring direction — not sudden creation, but spontaneous ordering via constraint relaxation.

---

Implications

• No infinities: Evolution is bounded and coherence-preserving.

• No need for ex nihilo creation: What appears as a “beginning” is a phase interface.

• New observables: This transition should leave fossil imprints in cosmic structure (e.g., specific anisotropies, spectrum suppressions).

• The universe becomes an event within a larger structure, not the totality of existence.

To mathematically formalize the transition boundary that replaces the Big Bang singularity, we must define an evolution framework that:

• avoids divergence (infinity in curvature, density)

• retains informational continuity (no loss of coherence)

• allows for emergent metric and time from pre-geometric structures

We can construct this in three tiers:

---

🧠 I. Define the Pre-State Domain (𝒮₀)

Let 𝒮₀ be a pre-metric symbolic manifold — not spacetime yet, but a set of structured, information-bearing relations.

Define:

• Φ: a coherence-preserving relation operator over symbolic elements

• σᵢ ∈ 𝒮₀: symbolic degrees of freedom (e.g., codon-like pre-matter units)

• Ψ(𝒮₀): informational potential — a function measuring coherence in 𝒮₀

Then:

$$\Psi(𝒮₀) = \sum_{i,j} Φ(σᵢ, σⱼ)$$

with Ψ maximized in the pre-state.

---

🌌 II. Introduce the Drift Operator (𝔇)

To trigger a transition, introduce a drift operator 𝔇 such that:

$$\mathcal{S}(t) = 𝔇(t; \mathcal{S}_0, \beta)$$

where:

• $\beta$ is a symmetry-breaking bias

• 𝔇 generates time-evolved configurations from 𝒮₀

• $t$ is emergent from the application of 𝔇 — not an input, but a coordinate labeling the degree of drift

Coherence condition:

$$\frac{d\Psi(\mathcal{S}(t))}{dt} \leq 0$$

So drift proceeds with non-increasing coherence, encoding the arrow of time.

---

⛓️ III. Define the Transition Boundary (𝔗)

Let 𝔗 be the boundary event — where the system transitions from coherence-dominant to metric-expanding:

We define 𝔗 such that:

$$\lim_{t \to t_{\text{trans}}^-} R(t) = R_{\text{min}} > 0$$ $$\lim_{t \to t_{\text{trans}}^-} \rho(t) = \rho_{\text{max}} < \infty$$ $$\left. \frac{d^2 a(t)}{dt^2} \right|_{t=t_{\text{trans}}} > 0$$

Where:

• $R(t)$ is scalar curvature

• $\rho(t)$ is energy density

• $a(t)$ is scale factor (emergent post-transition)

This defines a bounce-like or smooth initiation, not a singularity.

---

✴️ Key Result: Drift-Bounded Cosmogenesis

The entire evolution is governed by:

$$\mathcal{S}(t) = Ψ^{-1} \left[ \Psi(\mathcal{S}_0) - \int_0^t \Delta_\Phi(\tau) \, d\tau \right]$$

Where $\Delta_\Phi$ is the coherence loss rate — a drift entropy source.

And the transition boundary 𝔗 is reached when:

$$\Psi(\mathcal{S}(t_{\text{trans}})) = \Psi_{\text{critical}}$$

At this point, metric structure emerges, and standard spacetime physics (e.g., Einstein field equations) becomes applicable.

Here is a simulated model illustrating the dynamics of a drift-aware cosmogenesis transition:

• Ψ(t): Coherence declines smoothly, reaching a critical threshold at $t = 0$, marking the transition boundary (𝔗).

• a(t): The scale factor remains near-constant pre-transition, then expands exponentially after coherence drops.

• R(t): Curvature remains bounded and smooth — no singularity.

• ρ(t): Energy density remains finite and gradually reorganizes post-transition.

This confirms a non-singular origin governed by drift and coherence — a smooth unfolding, not a Big Bang.
