A Structural Model of the Universe's Large‑Scale Development

Open access0 citations

Abstract

Paper 1 — The Developmental Geometry of the Cosmic Web The Developmental Geometry of the Cosmic Web introduces a structural model in which large‑scale cosmic patterns arise from developmental dynamics rather than purely gravitational evolution. Using SDSS CMASS/LOWZ data and JWST early‑universe observations, the paper shows that the cosmic web’s geometry follows predictable thinning, branching, and constraint‑evolution rules. These rules are formalized through Adaptive Convergence for Chaotic Randomness (ACCR), a developmental calculus previously released on Zenodo. The study demonstrates that: cosmic filaments follow developmental thinning trajectories voids behave as expansion‑driven differentiation zones early‑universe structure matches predicted developmental compression patterns large‑scale tensions (Hubble tension, BAO anomalies, early massive galaxies) emerge naturally from temporal geometry rather than requiring new particles or modified gravity The model is non‑parametric, uses publicly available SDSS DR12 and JWST survey data, and provides testable predictions for filament thickness, void growth rates, and early‑epoch structure formation. It positions developmental geometry as a structurally upstream generator of cosmic organization, offering a unified explanation for several outstanding cosmological puzzles. Python code and computational notebooks used in this study are available at: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/VB67G Paper 2 — A Developmental Dynamical Framework for Galactic Morphology This paper extends the developmental approach into the galactic regime using a three‑dimensional morphospace defined by curvature density, vacuum energy, and coherence. The model identifies canonical galactic attractors, bifurcation surfaces, and stable developmental trajectories that reproduce observed large‑scale galactic forms. Numerical integration demonstrates parameter robustness and attractor stability, providing a reproducible dynamical foundation for galaxy‑formation studies. Project Summary Together, these two papers outline a developmental interpretation of cosmic structure formation across multiple scales, linking cosmic‑web geometry and galactic morphology within a unified dynamical framework.
