The Big Bang as a Coherence–Orientation Event: A Structural Account of Cosmological Emergence

The paper develops a structural account of the Big Bang as a coherence–orientation transition within a generative field. It argues that a cosmological domain emerges when accumulated variation becomes irreducible, forcing the system to generate orientation, dimensionality, and stable coherence constraints. Light is treated as the first dimensional operator, completing the geometry required for causal structure and the stabilization of matter. Subsequent cosmological development—large‑scale structure, chemical complexity, biological organization, and cognitive emergence—is presented as later expressions of the same generative architecture acting on new substrates. The result is a unified framework in which cosmology, life, mind, and meaning arise through a single sequence of coherence‑preserving transitions rather than through independent explanatory domains.
