The r = 0 Hypersurface as a Coordinate Boundary: A Classical Geometric Argument from the Schwarzschild-FLRW Equivalence
Abstract
This paper provides a formal geometric proof establishing the r = 0 hypersurface of the Schwarzschild interior as a classical coordinate boundary rather than a physical singularity. By exploiting the exact equivalence between the Schwarzschild interior metric and the FLRW cosmological model via the cycloidal parametrization r(η) = (r_s/2)(1 + cos η), we show that the radial acceleration at η = π (r = 0) is strictly positive (+r_s/2 > 0) and the radial velocity vanishes — the structure of a geometric turning point, not a termination. Spatial flatness (Ω_k = 0) and the Horizon problem are resolved via Israel junction conditions at r = r_s without invoking inflation. A falsifiable gravitational wave echo prediction follows, with delay timescales accessible to LIGO/LISA. This result serves as the foundational classical framework for the Iterated Klein Bottle Lattice (IKBL) series, developed in the companion papers "Global Gauge Stability and the 5.7σ Cosmic Dipole: A Non-orientable Resolution to the Cauchy Horizon Instability" (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18853106) and "The Projection Fallacy: Unifying G, ℏ, and Λ via Non-Orientable Weyl Holonomy" (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18905482).
