Type: preprint
Abstract: Paper 32 of the Interior Observer (IO) Cosmological Framework. Beginning from two premises — (1) the observable universe exists inside a Schwarzschild black hole, and (2) the physics inside the horizon is the same as outside — this paper closes the six remaining open problems on their active scoped sectors, retires all four semiclassical principles on their stated scopes, and derives the fixed-point normalization P4 via the DtN Open-Transport Placement Theorem (ten routes attempted, eight rounds of adversarial review). The late-time chain is derived: the observer's projection map has a finite domain (x_crit = (1+γ²)^(-1/4) = 0.9864, ~6.6 Gyr from the current epoch), the observer's scalar optical channel terminates at that boundary, and on the physical hidden-support variable R the cosmological constant drops out of the acceleration equation (R̈ = -c²/(2r_s) < 0), leaving gravity as the sole force. The unique local OS recollapse branch reaches R = 0 in ≤111 Gyr. Bounce attachment to Paper 1's Popławski torsion mechanism conditionally closes a 222 Gyr cycle. Observer reactivation is proved possible; the preferred restart is hard (semantic preservation, β=1, λ=1 from cycle-consistency, zero free parameters). The framework rests on two founding premises, zero additional stated premises, zero semiclassical principles, and zero fitted parameters on the active source block. One external constant (γ_BI = 0.2375 from LQG) and one nuclear input (Q_GS = 0.068 b for Li-7) are imported under Premise 2. https://dfife.github.io/index.html v1.3 (April 2026): Rebuild audit and extended theory. Paper 10 legacy branch confirmed as sole survivor. All branch-dependent values updated. S₈ upgraded from +2.2σ to +1.1σ (DERIVED/SCOPED) via growth-sector f_Γ amplitude readout and solver-tuple growth-background consistency theorem. Baryon loading R no-single-slot theorem derived. Part VIII added: fermionic/chiral bridge sector constructed; projected-Casimir normalization C_src = (3/8)Q^{1/8} derived from Hawking/KMS + spinor conformal covariance; R_eq/R_bounce = 1.00016 (DERIVED/SCOPED within extended IO-EC theory). Late-time bounce upgraded from CONDITIONAL to DERIVED/SCOPED within the extension. Appendix replaced with Paper 31 v1.2 clean chain plus Paper 32 steps. Open/Closed Problems and Acknowledgments added. AI verification tags removed. v1.2 (April 2026): BAO drag theorems. Drag Operator Factorization Theorem: Γ_drag = κ'/R factors into independently classifiable legs. Both legs independently proved inventory-class: κ' opacity leg (Paper 31 baryon-assignment map) and R baryon-loading leg (isolated momentum-loading selection theorem). BAO r_d upgraded from CONDITIONAL to DERIVED/SCOPED on the isolated pre-drag sound-horizon operator. r_d = 144.03 Mpc, 0.046% from DESI galaxy target. Full BAO observable remains CONDITIONAL (readout kernel). Grade: DERIVED/SCOPED for isolated pre-drag operator; CONDITIONAL for full BAO; NOT UPGRADED for full CMB baryon architecture. v1.1 (April 2026): Full branch audit. Appendix B: 100θ_s(IO) = 1.04083 marked SUPERSEDED (CLASS output on retired mixed branch). BAO r_d corrected: 143.06 Mpc was a mixed-route artifact; replaced with Schur acoustic branch r_d = 137.94 Mpc (4.18% residual, flat-space architectural mismatch — definitive prediction requires IO-native solver). Appendix A: Steps 58, 60, 107 updated to Schur definitive branch. Appendix C: updated through Paper 32 — all four semiclassical principles retired on stated scopes; conditional debt corrected. Website added to title page. All body theorems unaffected. v1.0 (April 2026): Publication release. All corrections from adversarial review incorporated. P4 derivation validated through eight rounds. Late-time chain validated at stated scopes. All four semiclassical principles retired. Full hostile review by Cosmo (three passes) and conceptual review by Gemini completed. v0.1 (April 2026): Initial working draft.
