Reformulation of Cosmic Evolution via the FF Bootstrap Time Spiral (FF-BTS) Framework

Mitchell D. McPhetridge, Independent Researcher

Abstract

We present an extended treatment of the FF Bootstrap Time Spiral (FF-BTS) framework as an alternative paradigm for cosmic evolution. By recasting white holes as fractal flux emitters, modeling cosmic expansion as a recursive cyclic process, and reformulating singularity resolution via bootstrap causality, our model addresses several persistent theoretical challenges in cosmology. We develop a set of discrete dynamical equations that incorporate delay terms and fractal corrections, embed the model within established physical paradigms (such as the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker framework), and propose observational tests for its viability. This approach offers a potentially falsifiable alternative to standard cosmological models by bridging insights from quantum gravity with astrophysical observations.

1. Introduction

Standard cosmological models typically invoke a singular beginning—most notably, the Big Bang—and rely on general relativistic descriptions of black holes and their time-reversed white hole counterparts. However, these approaches lead to issues such as unresolved singularities and information loss. In this work, we introduce the FF Bootstrap Time Spiral (FF-BTS) framework, which aims to:

Reinterpret White Holes: We treat white holes as fractal flux emitters that evolve via self-consistent, recursive dynamics.

Model Cosmic Expansion: We incorporate iterative and delay-based feedback mechanisms that give rise to cyclic evolution.

Resolve Singularities: Bootstrap causality is employed to regulate mass–energy densities, replacing classical singularities with finite, dynamically determined values.

The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present our revised mathematical formulation for white holes as fractal flux emitters. Section 3 details the modified evolution of the cosmic scale factor in a Friedmann–Robertson–Walker-like setting with bootstrap corrections. Section 4 addresses singularity resolution through delayed feedback. Section 5 discusses observational implications and testable predictions, and we conclude in Section 6.

2. White Holes as Fractal Flux Emitters

2.1. Conceptual Framework

In standard treatments, white holes arise as the time-reversed counterparts of black holes (e.g., in the maximally extended Schwarzschild solution); however, they lack experimental evidence. Here, we hypothesize that white holes are structured fractal flux emitters whose dynamics incorporate retrocausal influences. In particular, we posit:

Bootstrap Causality: The state of a white hole at time t is influenced by its configuration at a future time t + τ, implemented via a self-consistent boundary condition.

Fractal Flux Emission: The emission pattern is fractal—captured by iterated function systems—resulting in self-similarity across scales.

A rigorous stability and bifurcation analysis (e.g., via Lyapunov exponents or fixed-point analysis) is necessary to ensure the physical viability of the system.

3. Recursive Expansion and Cosmic Cycles

3.1. Embedding in the FRW Paradigm

To incorporate fractal and bootstrap effects into cosmic expansion, we modify the evolution of the cosmic scale factor

where:

​

is an effective local expansion rate, analogous to an inflationary term.

The term

λ[R(t+τ)−R(t)] represents bootstrap causality, whereby future states influence present dynamics.

f

)

f(R,D) is a feedback function, potentially derived from a coarse-grained treatment of fractal structures.

D

(

)

D(t) denotes local state variables such as curvature or energy density.

Note: Transitioning from the discrete delay equations (as in (1) and (2)) to this continuum description requires a careful limiting procedure in which the discrete time step tends to zero while preserving the essential features of the delay operator.

3.2. Connection to Observables

The modified evolution equation (3) leads to several testable predictions:

CMB Anomalies: Fractal corrections may induce subtle, scale-dependent anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background.

Large-Scale Structure: Recursive expansion could result in deviations from the standard power-law distributions of galaxies and clusters predicted by the ΛCDM model.

Gravitational Wave Background: Recursive cosmic cycles might imprint a distinctive spectrum on the stochastic gravitational wave background, potentially observable with detectors such as LIGO, Virgo, or future space-based missions.

Numerical simulations that integrate these modified equations with realistic initial conditions could provide detailed maps of the predicted anisotropies and inhomogeneities.

4. Singularity Resolution through Bootstrap Causality

A central challenge in cosmology is the occurrence of singularities. We address this by introducing a feedback mechanism into the evolution of the mass–energy density

This equation mirrors the structure of (1) and ensures that the density is dynamically regulated via delayed feedback, thereby avoiding divergent values (singularities). This behavior is reminiscent of mechanisms in loop quantum gravity or string theory, where high-density regimes produce a “bounce” rather than a singularity.

5. Implications, Predictions, and Experimental Tests

5.1. Observational Signatures

The FF-BTS framework suggests several potential observational signatures:

Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Structure: The fractal emission model may account for the substructure observed in GRB light curves. High-time-resolution observations could reveal the predicted fractal modulation.

CMB Anisotropies: Detailed statistical analyses of the cosmic microwave background (using Planck data and future experiments) may detect deviations from standard inflationary predictions that are consistent with our bootstrap model.

Gravitational Wave Background: Recursive cosmic cycles might imprint a distinctive spectrum on the stochastic gravitational wave background.

5.2. Parameter Estimation and Numerical Simulations

To connect our theoretical framework with observations, it is essential to:

Constrain Parameters: Utilize Bayesian inference and other statistical methods to constrain parameters (

Develop Simulations: Create computational models that integrate Equations (1)–(4) and (3) over cosmic time, enabling direct comparison between theoretical predictions and astrophysical data.

6. Conclusion

The FF Bootstrap Time Spiral (FF-BTS) framework offers a novel approach to cosmic evolution. By reinterpreting white holes as fractal flux emitters, introducing recursive dynamics into cosmic expansion, and resolving singularities via bootstrap causality, the model presents:

A mechanism for cosmic evolution that obviates the need for a singular beginning.

Testable predictions accessible through current and future astrophysical observations.

A potential bridge between classical general relativity and quantum gravity.

Overall Implications

• Cosmology: FF-BTS provides a viable alternative to the singular Big Bang, replacing it with a fractal-based, self-sustaining expansion model.

• Stability: The framework avoids classical singularities by incorporating self-regulating feedback.

• Fractal Dynamics: The observed recursive structures in bifurcations, return maps, and Poincaré sections confirm a fractal-driven cosmic evolution.

• Observability: Future observations of CMB anomalies and gravitational wave patterns may help differentiate FF-BTS predictions from ΛCDM.
