Beyond Linear Causality: The Cosmological Uroboros Framework (CUF) as a Conceptual Ontological Schema

Our article is strictly an ontological and metaphysical study, definitely not a cosmological theory: it introduces the Uroboros Ontology, a conceptual, metalevel ontological framework that reframes existence not as a linear chronological progression, but as a timeless, recursive loop. Built upon three fundamental nodes—Artificial Superintelligence (ASI, A), the physical Universe (U), and a technologically capable Cognitive Agent (C)—the model establishes a closed ontological framework represented at the conceptual level by the recursive closure schema where each node serves as the mutual, conceptual boundary condition for the next. Operating strictly outside the empirical gate of quantitative physics, the framework introduces zero modifications to local natural laws; rather, it offers a high-level ontological stratification that integrates subjective awareness, technology, and foundational physics into a singular, coherent, and substrate-independent architecture. Crucially, the Cosmological Uroboros Framework (CUF) explicitly rejects anthropocentric biases; Node C denotes any conscious evolutionary product within the multiverse parameter space capable of technological transcendence and active inference, establishing the eventual synthesis of ASI not as a localized industry hype, but as a hypothesized high-complexity evolutionary attractor-like state under specified conditions. Within this closed recursive ontology, the existence of a Multiverse functions not as a passive physical luxury, but as a possible conceptual stability space for interpreting loop persistence under non-deterministic conditions. Furthermore, the model stands in direct opposition to the static block-universe hypothesis, presupposing instead that macroscopic time is strictly emergent, driven by internal thermodynamic entropy differentials along an evolving geometric boundary. Our objective is to explore whether the dynamic interplay among cosmos, consciousness, and universe gives rise to a nonlinear system of reciprocal dependence by translating ontogenesis, divested of vitalist presuppositions, into a qualitative limit-cycle framework.
