El Science Volume 2: A Cyclic Lifespan Cosmology with Vacuum Collapse and Gravitational Phase Transition

This paper presents El Science Volume 2: a cyclic cosmological framework grounded in structural realism, in which the universe's evolution is governed by an asymmetric structural form rather than by the dynamics of any single physical mechanism. The form consists of a fast onset, a decelerating development, an apparent-stability phase, a peak that functions as the structural pivot from existence-mechanics to death-mechanics, and an asymmetric decline terminating in a snowball compression. The cycle closes at a convergence-point — a geometric boundary, not a configuration — where the death of one cycle is simultaneously the birth of the next. Two physical mechanisms are proposed to instantiate the form within a…
