The Big Bang Singularity as an Ontological Boundary: A Dialogue between the "Timeless Photon Universe" and the Theory of Objectivity

Description (Zenodo Abstract/Description):
This paper offers a critical–propositional examination of Bijay Das’s The Timeless Photon Universe: Reinterpreting the Big Bang Singularity, arguing that the Big Bang singularity is best treated not as a physical “infinite event,” but as an ontological boundary—a limit of definability where the standard temporal parameterization loses applicability. The analysis is conducted under the Theory of Objectivity (TO), a modal–axiomatic ontology grounded in Seven Absolute Truths formulated as necessary conditions for the coherence of any possible universe.

The central claim is that Das’s pre-temporal intuition—time as non-fundamental—can be strengthened by organizing the problem through a three-level methodological architecture: (i) modal axioms (conditions of possibility), (ii) phenomenic elements (observable manifestations such as Light, boundaries, and neutrino regimes), and (iii) operational bridges of testability (criteria for empirical contrast). Within this framework, the singularity is reformulated as a boundary condition consistent with TO’s treatment of infinity as a non-element necessary for definition, rather than a physical object.

The paper also introduces TO’s dynamic heuristics of emergence—Expansive and Reductive Inducer Effects—as a structured vocabulary for describing transitions from pre-temporal coherence to stabilized physical regimes. Light is discussed as a privileged phenomenic mediator, while neutrinos are proposed (heuristically) as potential tracers of primordial plasmatic regimes within TO’s cosmological eras. Finally, the article outlines minimal standards of scientificity and testability, including families of possible boundary invariants, coherence signatures in primordial radiation, and neutrino-related cosmological constraints, aiming to preserve TO’s logical–ontological core while remaining compatible with contemporary observational practice.
