Generated vacuum: from source histories to cosmic geometry
Explore how SMM/DTT could generate a vacuum record, distinguishing relational geometry, quantum state, and the stress that enters cosmic evolution.
Read the guideThe world at cosmic scale
The cosmological questions of SMM/DTT concern both the structure of the observable world and the temporal processes proposed to sustain it. This route connects discussions of origin and renewal with record arrows, dimensional flow, and the demanding problem of vacuum curvature.
The cosmology sequence begins with the meaning of a vacuum and the assumptions behind homogeneity and isotropy. It then introduces an expanding metric, physical cosmological clocks and the distinction between a Hubble scale and a causal horizon. The final guides connect vacuum curvature, temporal arrows and a complete cosmological model.
The equations and toy examples provide a bridge to standard cosmology without presupposing that a generative picture already fixes its expansion history. The SMM/DTT programme must specify a large-scale geometry, matter content, common clock, dynamics and perturbations before it can make quantitative cosmological predictions.

Read the guideAn origin can mean an earliest physical state, the development of cosmic structure, or a metaphysical ground of existence. The articles keep those questions distinct while tracing the programme’s motivation. They also examine how reversible source dynamics can support an ordered availability of records and how hidden variables can produce memory in reduced evolution.
The vacuum branch requires an absolute geometric response, not only a normalized phase susceptibility. A common offset can leave normalized observables unchanged, and temporal averaging can suppress fluctuations without reducing their mean. These precise limitations help identify what a successful source model must add before it can explain a small physical curvature.
Separate chronological beginnings from explanatory dependence, and examine how ever-renewed creation motivates a generative description without substituting for a physical cosmic history.
Study record availability, hidden memory, and reduced evolution as explicit mechanisms that distinguish temporal roles while preserving their assumptions and physical scope.
Follow the absolute-normalization problem for vacuum curvature alongside stochastic-clock models of dimensional flow, keeping their sources, scales, and observables separately defined.
Modern cosmology connects gravitation, expansion and the formation of structure. These established questions provide concrete targets for an SMM/DTT account of generated space and physical clocks.
Read article →The origin of the world can mean a temporal beginning or a ground of existence. Distinguishing those questions explains why a pre-spatial source must generate relations without assuming an earlier world in which to act.
Read article →Explaining the origin of time requires distinguishable events, stable records and compatible clock readings. A featureless rotating sphere and a simple completion model show why change alone does not supply measurable duration.
Read article →Ever-renewed creation motivates an account of persistence through changing states. Update rules, invariants and retained memory show what SMM/DTT must specify for renewed records to support recognizable objects and continuous histories.
Read article →Completed returns that preserve or increase accessible records form a positive monoid. Under additional separation and clock conditions, this supplies an effective forward order without proving thermodynamic irreversibility.
Read article →Normalized responses erase source-independent offsets even when those offsets matter to an absolute functional. The exact obstruction explains why stiffnesses, spectral ratios, and temporal averaging do not alone determine gravitating vacuum energy.
Read article →A renewal clock with heavy-tailed waits accumulates inner events sublinearly in observed duration. The explicit event-count model illustrates temporal intermittency while leaving the waiting law's physical origin open.
Read article →The temporal-asymmetry model connects projected dynamics with memory and path dependence. A solvable hidden-mode example distinguishes those effects from dissipative stability and from evidence for a second observable clock.
