From Observational Facts to the Origin of Existence: First-Principles Reasoning and Epistemic Boundaries of the Meta-State Cosmological Model v0.2.2

This paper presents a first-principles logical deduction framework for the origin and evolution of the universe—the Meta-State Cosmological Model (v0.2.2). Starting from two direct observational facts (the universe is ordered and full), the model derives, through eight logical deductions, a self-consistent alternative to the standard ΛCDM paradigm. It proposes a pre-cosmic duality of "Ji-Kong" (infinite spatial-capacity substrate) and "Ji-You" (infinite primordial energy), whose interaction generates a Chaotic Void, within which Singularities condense and erupt into "Rule-Walls"—spherical conversion fronts that transform external chaotic energy into internal ordered mass-energy. The model unifies diverse cosmic observations (KBC void, Great Attractor, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays) as different encounters along the Rule-Wall's billion-year voyage. It explicitly acknowledges five cognitive boundaries, offering a case study of epistemic honesty in cosmological theorizing. The model introduces no inflaton, dark-energy particles, extra dimensions, or arbitrary initial conditions. This paper emphasizes the philosophical significance of first-principles reasoning in cosmology and the importance of defining cognitive boundaries in scientific inquiry.
