Cosmology, Dark Energy, and Inflation in the Finite-QEC Substrate

Abstract

States the current cosmology-side canon, with stricter labels than its historical papers used — dark energy, horizon thermodynamics, and inflation were the main source of earlier overclaims. The late dark-energy equation of state has been reduced to finite service-instrument theorems plus a homogeneous cosmological lift: w(a) = −1 + a/28, with positive activation excluding phantom behaviour unless an additional negative-rate channel is introduced. Structure-formation corrections are no longer free CPL deformations; paired ledgers show the linear fixed-total-matter correction vanishes and the first allowed term is a variance susceptibility. The HBC inflationary tilt has a conditional mode-local scalar-clock route to n_s = 27/28. The scalar amplitude has advanced from an arbitrary normalization to the specific candidate A_ν = (3/4)α₀⁴, but remains conditional on the absolute scalar-shell service count. The cosmological-constant sector is split into two routes: the historical Λ_QCD³H₀ horizon/Dirac scale relation, and a newer active-demux generation-vertex computation that lands at ρ_Λ ≈ 1.0019 ρ_obs, with the remaining residual now treated as an internal operator-algebra convention rather than an observational fit target. The CMB third-peak problem has likewise changed: a pressureless R4 zero-mode reservoir now supplies the cold-dark-matter budget and a forward Boltzmann run matches the acoustic peak heights, though the acoustic scale and the halo phenomenology remain live gates. The result is a sharper cosmology program, not a closed one.
