Time–Energy–Universe – Paper 4 Structure, Information and Finitude within a Time-Founded Universe

This work refines the concepts of structure, information, symmetry, and finitude within the framework of the Time–Energy–Universe project. Time is presupposed as a fundamental quantity; structure appears as a temporally instantiated and conditionally stable form of distinguishability. Information is not understood as an ontological entity, but as the result of instantiated differentiation. The Big Bang and complete symmetry are interpreted as boundary cases of structural viability, while black holes are understood as forms of structural dissolution without annihilation. Mathematics is conceived as an internal tool of structure whose divergences indicate the limits of its domain of validity. Structure is finite; time and potential remain.
