I construct a complete Beltrami eigenbasis in complex time on $S^3$ using the Hopf fibration $S^1 \to S^3 \to S^2$, yielding an exact spectral decomposition of the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. This framework resolves the incompleteness of Beltrami fields in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and reduces Navier--Stokes to a closed system of ODEs with explicit triadic couplings. From this spectral formulation, the three classical laws of thermodynamics follow as PDE theorems: the First Law from energy conservation and viscous dissipation, the Second Law from monotone spectral entropy production, and the Third Law from the collapse to pure Beltrami modes in the low--temperature limit. This establishes the laws of thermodynamics as emergent spectral properties of Hopf--Navier--Stokes dynamics. Note: LaTex errata from a prior version have been eliminated.
