The first paper defines a light-chronometric age from a state-dependent effective causal speed, introducing finite light-track age, causal convergence, and observational reconstruction tests.
The second paper separates geometric size from causal size and classifies inter-cycle drift using a minimal cycle genome involving extra spatial freedom, baryon asymmetry, and memory.
The third paper gives the geometric interpretation of the framework: extra freedom is spatial rather than timelike, and cyclic evolution is treated as an ordered sequence rather than a timelike loop.
The fourth paper proposes a toy model for operational freeze-out of causal propagation in an effective black-hole core, while keeping the fundamental vacuum light speed fixed.
The fifth paper formulates a balance-law layer in which each universe is an open subsystem of a closed multiverse ensemble, separating energy closure from entropy production.
