First Closure: The Phase Transition Origin of CP Asymmetry, Temporal Chirality, and Left-Handedness

Three apparently unrelated features of the physical universe — the left-handedness of neutrinos, the excess of matter over antimatter, and the direction of CP violation in B meson decays — have a single geometric origin. The Bootstrap Universe Framework begins from the axiom "I AM I": a self-referential identity that attempts closure. This closure is a phase transition — a rotation attempting to return to identity. The Grandi series (+1 −1 +1 −1 ...) is the real-axis shadow of this rotation: it captures the oscillation but not the direction. The rotation operates in three coupled phases — the three quaternion imaginaries i, j, k — because exactly three phases are required for first closure, derived…
