The Stratoverso: A Hierarchical Cosmological Framework

This is the original foundational paper of the Stratoverso Framework, written in March 2026 before the formal mathematical development of the companion papers. It is preserved in its original form as a document of the conceptual genesis of the framework — proof that the vision preceded the mathematics. All central intuitions have been subsequently confirmed by rigorous derivation in Papers A, B, and C.

This hierarchy spans a finite interval of length L≈140, defining a discrete sequence of scales that bridges ultraviolet and infrared physics through a stratified structure of holographic layers. Within this framework, the cosmological scale domain is organized into Holographic Spherical Membranes (MSO) located at discrete logarithmic nodes. These membranes encode the information content of successive scale domains and generate a compact radial geometry whose sinusoidal profile leads naturally to a toroidal global topology. The two polar nodes of the hierarchy act as dynamical points where the radial thickness collapses, enabling a topological transition from a spherical to a toroidal configuration. A central element of the model is the role of cosmological entropy, which in de Sitter space reaches the enormous value S∼10¹²². The Stratoverso introduces an isoentropic principle in which the total entropy of the Universe remains constant while information is redistributed across the hierarchical membranes. This principle leads to a fundamental balance relation connecting vacuum energy density, cosmological entropy and the Planck scale, ρΛ ~ MPl⁴ · exp(-2L) which reproduces the observed magnitude of dark energy without fine tuning. The framework also predicts a discrete gravitational spectrum arising from the compactness of the logarithmic scale domain, and introduces scalar-field dynamics that govern the traversal of the Universe across successive stratoversal layers. The resulting picture is that of a cosmological system evolving through a hierarchical sequence of holographic boundaries while preserving its global entropy content. The Stratoverso therefore provides a unified conceptual structure linking scale hierarchy, holographic information, cosmological entropy, vacuum energy, and global topology within a coherent geometric and thermodynamic model.
