Iterative Energy Model (IE)

The Iterative Energy Model (IE) is a cosmological framework where time and the observed expansion emerge from energetic iterations. Rather than invoking a rigid cosmological constant, IE treats energy flow as the primary driver, leading to transient acceleration and concrete, testable signatures.

Context

IE is proposed as an alternative to ΛCDM. It explains early expansion via high iteration rates (no inflaton), and predicts that the present acceleration is not eternal, but a phase arising from the evolving energy iteration dynamics. This provides distinct expectations for SN Ia, BAO and CMB consistency tests.

Key points

⏱ Time as an emergent variable from energy transitions (iterations).
🌀 No inflaton: early expansion via high iteration rate.
🌌 Decaying effective dark energy → acceleration is transient.
🔭 Testable with SN Ia distance moduli, BAO scales and CMB consistency.
