Relaxation-Driven Cyclic Cosmology (RDCC) v11.0: Entropy Dynamics, Mirror Thermodynamics, EFT Consistency, and Naturalness

Relaxation-Driven Cyclic Cosmology (RDCC) v11.0: Entropy Dynamics, Mirror Thermodynamics, EFT Consistency, and Naturalness

This release closes logical gaps with rigorous entropy dynamics (no Tolman divergence over cycles), mirror-sector thermodynamics (BBN compatibility, ΔN_eff < 0.1), EFT stability (RG-flow, no ghosts/instabilities), and naturalness analysis (no fine-tuning of ρ_DE). These upgrades make RDCC a mathematically consistent, robust alternative to ΛCDM.

Falsifiability: Entropy accumulation over cycles, ΔN_eff > 0.1 (BBN), ghosts/instabilities in EFT, fine-tuning of ρ_DE, no GW echoes (LISA/LIGO), no 21-cm flattening (SKA/HERA).

While the core of RDCC remains a structural, timeless framework with fixpoint character, this document explores a dynamical realization of the bounce mechanism to enable concrete, falsifiable predictions.
