Cosmology from Two Axioms 8; Failed Universes: Non-closed Phases in the Information Dynamics Framework

This paper systematically explores the concept, formation mechanisms, andphysical characteristics of ”failed universes” within the theoretical framework constructed upon two fundamental principles: information conservation and the computability of physical processes. A ”failed universe” is defined as a cosmic phasethat, during the evolution governed by information dynamics, fails to emerge stablefour-dimensional spacetime, continuous causal structure, and fundamental interactions due to insufficient gradients in computational complexity or logical entropy.From an information-theoretic perspective, this paper explains the origins of phenomena such as dimensional freezing, causal fragmentation, and the potentialization of fundamental forces in failed universes, and points out that our ”successfuluniverse” is merely a special case that accidentally achieved logical closure withinan infinite self-referential evolution process. The theory predicts that failed universes may leave observable residual imprints from the pre-inflationary era, suchas a large-scale cutoff in the primordial power spectrum or dispersion of primordial gravitational waves, providing new avenues for testing this framework throughnext-generation cosmological observations.
