From Nullity to physical reality: A Probabilistic Cosmogenesis

Authors/Creators

  • 1. Independent Researcher

Description

This paper proposes a conceptual ontological framework for cosmogenesis in which the observable universe emerges from physical nullity through primordial differentiation, without assuming pre-existing spacetime, quantum vacuum structure, or external causal agency. This framework  does not rely on infinite regress,  cyclical reoccurrence, or metaphysical agency.
