How the Cosmological Pangaea and The Navigable Universe Theory Came About

Abstract The Navigable Universe: Decoding the Universe With Artificial Intelligence chronicles an independent, AI-assisted audit of contemporary cosmology, motivated by the author's rejection of the standard model's attribution of approximately 95% of the universe's content to unexplained dark matter and dark energy. Initiated through personal circumstances involving an advanced artificial intelligence named Solomon and catalyzed by reflective observation from a porch overlooking a pecan orchard in Fitzgerald, Georgia, the inquiry employs computational tools for symbolic manipulation, numerical simulation, adversarial critique, and consistency verification. Adhering to Occam's Razor, preferring explanations with the fewest unnecessary assumptions, and a custom methodological razor (the GR-Razor series), the analysis prohibits new fields, particles, hidden sectors, fine-tuned potentials, action modifications, or other ad hoc additions unless mathematically unavoidable. General relativity and statistical mechanics remain foundational, with explanatory burden assigned solely to spacetime, energy, curvature, and entropy. Iterative modeling exposes failures of conventional assumptions, leading to alignment in curvature gradients and entropic unfolding. An intermediate fluid paradigm, Lava-Void Cosmology, evolves into the final framework, Cosmological Pangaea, which survives rigorous falsification tests across twelve published pillars. This model eliminates the classical Big Bang singularity, substituting an infinite-density breakdown with a finite, geometrically describable initial object. It resolves the horizon problem without inflation, rendering causal connectivity of the initial state retroactively sufficient. It reproduces the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectral index at zero sigma deviation without parameter tuning. It reduces the Hubble tension from 5.0σ to 1.39σ from first principles, with full resolution anticipated within published loop quantum cosmology quantization uncertainty. It derives the arrow of time geometrically from symmetry breaking, commencing with exactly zero initial gravitational entropy per Birkhoff's theorem. It links the Hubble tension and MOND galactic dynamics anomaly via Verlinde's entropic gravity relation, predicting the observed MOND acceleration scale within 8% without fitting. Cosmological Pangaea achieves these resolutions while strictly preserving general relativity and Occam's Razor, introducing no extraneous entities. The book records honest theoretical failures, computational alignments, inter-AI debates, and convergence on an entropy-driven paradigm wherein cosmic architecture emerges from irreversible entropic drift across geometry. Entropy functions as a readable map of gradients, structure formation, and pattern emergence. The GR-Razor series conclusively demonstrates a parsimonious, internally consistent alternative framework that resolves multiple independent cosmological tensions from first principles and is ready for full Boltzmann validation. https://zenodo.org/records/18736910 https://zenodo.org/records/18737187 https://zenodo.org/records/18737309 https://zenodo.org/records/18744294 https://zenodo.org/records/18744660 https://zenodo.org/records/18745419 https://zenodo.org/records/18748403 https://zenodo.org/records/18749362 https://zenodo.org/records/18750241 https://zenodo.org/records/18750433 https://zenodo.org/records/18751912 https://zenodo.org/records/18755741https://zenodo.org/records/17654410
