The cosmological model of the information field: geometric duality, energy edge, and weary light
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) faces fundamental difficulties: the nature of dark matter and dark energy remains unknown, and the initial singularity of the Big Bang contradicts the general theory of relativity. This paper proposes an alternative paradigm based on the primacy of information. We put forward the hypothesis of geometric duality: the Universe is infinite for an internal observer and a closed sphere for an external observer. It is proposed to use the Ricci flow as a mathematical bridge between these states. The boundary of the sphere represents an “energy edge” (membrane) that holds matter and light. Within the framework of the model, the redshift is explained by the “stale light” effect, and the relic radiation is explained by accumulated and thermalized light at the boundary of the sphere, which eliminates the need to postulate a hot singular phase
