MetaTime v37.0: Cosmological Decompression and Recursive Error Correction The Universe as a Self-Optimizing Computational Manifold

We synthesize three MetaTime research threads into a single effective framework: (i) gravity
as latency and horizon-limited irreversible processing [1]; (ii) the Human Delta/PCAM program
for agent-level impulsive perturbations and computational action closure [2]; and (iii) systemic
entropy correction via entropy-debt liquidation in an open non-equilibrium system [3]. Treating
cosmology as an open dissipative evolution, we model cosmic expansion as the execution of an
irreversible decompression map acting on a low-entropy initial macrostate. A nonzero latency
coefficient ΓL > 0 is interpreted as an information-geometric dissipation functional that limits local
update throughput, and horizon thermodynamics yields an order-of-magnitude ceiling on average
irreversible power per Hubble patch, ⟨Pdiss⟩ ≲ κ c5
/G with κ = O(1) [1]. We embed the dark-sector
closure Q ≡ 3H βeff(a) ρL in a minimal Einstein-frame effective field theory (EFT) skeleton and
adopt a stable PPF-IDE perturbation prescription suitable for CLASS/CAMB confrontation [15–19].
We formalize “entropy debt” as accumulated log-surprisal deficits [3] and introduce a minimal
hazard-based systemic-correction dynamics tied to a reconstructible processing proxy Π(a), enabling
falsifiable predictions. Finally, we state a teleological but operationally constrained extension:
advanced inference systems act as a compiler phase compressing realized history into bounded seed
information consistent with holographic limits [10–12
