5. Physical and Consistency Checks
- Evolution endpoint: time_present_s ≈ 4.35×10¹⁷ s ≈ 13.8 Gyr, consistent with “today” setting.
- Flatness: Ω_Λ + Ω_m ≈ 1, stable across ensemble.
- Dark energy behavior: w₀ ≈ −1, w_a ≈ 0, phantom_crossings = 0, consistent with ΛCDM-like behavior.
- Hubble tension: H₀ ensemble covers 64–73 km/s/Mpc, allowing comparison with both low (Planck) and high (SH0ES) references for “tension resolution” figures.
- A_s spread: A_s spans about one order of magnitude in the ensemble (≈ 3e-10 to 8e-9), mean 2.3e-9; if used in the paper, report as range or distribution or state as QNM theoretical prediction.
6. Recommendations and Notes
- Reproducibility: All results can be reproduced from analysis_results.json and the CSV files in the same directory; use analysis_results.json for figures and comparison.
- Observational labels: Planck/SH0ES etc. in figures are labeled as reference only and are not used in derivation, in line with academic integrity.
- Further analysis: For per-redshift or per-time analysis, read redshifts, hubble_values, redshifts_w, w_values from analysis_results.json → realizations[i]. Physical meaning and scale of redshifts are explained in the next section.
7. Redshifts in checkpoint/analysis_results — Scale and Verification
7.1 Issue and Motivation
The leading entries of the redshifts array in checkpoint and analysis_results are of order ~7.65×10²⁹, much larger than typical cosmological plots (z ≈ 0–10 or CMB z≈1100). This section clarifies: this is not a unit or formula error. The evolution starts at the ultra-early universe when the quantum matrix runs (Planck era), so the standard cosmological redshift z can legitimately be very large there.
7.2 Definition and Formula in Code (Source Check)
- Location: 05_Core_Source_Code/A/qnm_complete_cosmic_evolution_engine.py, inside QNMMatrix.get_cosmic_parameters(time) (approx. lines 532–551).
- Quantity: redshift is the standard cosmological redshift z, with 1+z = a₀/a(t), given by the age–redshift relation from cosmic time t and theoretical cosmic age t_age:
- Radiation domination (t ≤ 10¹² s): z = (t_age/t)^(1/2) − 1
- Matter domination and later (t > 10¹² s): z = (t_age/t)^(2/3) − 1
- Theoretical age t_age: from first-principles derive_age_normalization_factor(..., c_eff, d_ref, Omega_m_ref, Omega_m_ref), then × 10⁹×365.25×24×3600 into seconds, of order 13.8 Gyr ≈ 4.35×10¹⁷ s (consistent with time_present_s in this run).
- Evolution start: initialize_universe() sets time_current to Planck time t_Planck ≈ 5.39×10⁻⁴⁴ s (FirstPrinciplesConstants.t_Planck), i.e. from the ultra-early universe when the quantum matrix runs. Each step calls get_cosmic_parameters(self.time_current) to get z at that time and append to evolution_history; get_hubble_evolution() / get_dark_energy_evolution() then produce the redshifts / redshifts_w arrays.
7.3 Why the First Redshift is ~10²⁹–10³⁰
- The first recorded point corresponds to t ≈ t_Planck (or slightly later after the first step). In the radiation-dominated formula, z ≈ (t_age/t)^(1/2) − 1 ≈ (4.35×10¹⁷ / 5.39×10⁻⁴⁴)^(1/2) ∼ 10³⁰.
- t_age varies slightly across realizations (c_eff, Ω_m, etc.), so the first z in the ~10²⁹–10³⁰ range (e.g. ~7.65×10²⁹) is the expected result with correct formula and units.
- Array order: redshifts[0] = earliest time (largest z), redshifts[-1] = today (z≈0). The engine docstring states: index 0 = initial state (early universe), index -1 = present day.
7.4 Consistency with “Start from Quantum Matrix”
- This framework does not start at “after recombination/CMB” or some mid-z; it evolves from the Planck era (matrix evolution start) to “today”.
- With the standard definition 1+z = a₀/a(t), smaller t implies larger z; so a very large z at the start is physically consistent with “start at or before the ultra-early universe when the quantum matrix runs”.
- CMB-related logic in the engine (e.g. finding z≈1100 in analyze_hubble_tension) uses np.argmin(np.abs(redshifts - 1100)), confirming that the same redshifts array contains the full sequence from very large z down to 0, including z≈1100.
