The Thermodynamic Limit, Scale-Invariant Gravity, and Topological Slow-Roll in Discrete 1D Spacetime

This manuscript presents the computational culmination of the Information-Topological Register Model (Mass-Gap Cosmology), validating the emergence of macroscopic three-dimensional spacetime and cosmological inflation from a strictly discrete, one-dimensional binary network.

By scaling the network to the thermodynamic limit (N = 300,000 nodes), we demonstrate a fundamental spatial dichotomy: a pure vacuum network exhibits fractal roughness with a spectral dimension of D_s ≈ 2.92, whereas the introduction of a 10% matter fraction intrinsically curves the local space, raising the macroscopic dimension to D_s ≈ 3.06 via scale-invariant topological gravity.

Furthermore, by translating topological node degrees into local density fluctuations, we extract the primordial power spectrum P(k) using Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT). While the pure topological base model inherently generates a perfectly scale-invariant Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum (n_s ≈ 1.0), we introduce a deterministic mechanism for inflation: Topological Slow-Roll. By implementing an exponential topological friction term — analogous to the cosmological e-fold expansion — the scale invariance is organically broken. The highly non-linear response of the discrete manifold naturally generates the red-tilted primordial spectrum (n_s < 1) observed by the Planck satellite.
