This working paper develops the mathematical core of Resolution Cosmology by deriving the full Schwarzschild spacetime metric from informational and thermodynamic principles, without invoking the Einstein field equations. Starting from the postulate that proper time is accumulated resolution, combined with Landauer’s bound, the Unruh effect, and the Newtonian limit, the framework shows that the Tolman temperature relation emerges as a consistency condition rather than an input from General Relativity. This closes the circularity present in earlier drafts and yields both the weak-field and strong-field Schwarzschild metric purely from resolution dynamics.
The paper also sketches a cosmological extension in which dark energy is interpreted as the late-time acceleration of geometric resolution as thermal cost declines, naturally dissolving the Coincidence Problem and leading to testable predictions for the evolution of the dark energy equation-of-state parameter w(z). This document is intended as a technical companion to the main “Resolution Cosmology v5.2” framework and is released as a work in progress, open to comment and critique.
one suggestion. There is the main paper, as well as supplemental supporting papers on Zenodo. Just download them. Read them. Or...if you don't have time, feed all of them to a reasoning AI and ask for analysis. Ask if it breaks GR. Ask if it is coherent.
Hint. It is. And it is falsifiable...not with stuff that maybe exists either...data that exists now or will in the very near future.

This working paper extends the Resolution Cosmology framework to the microscopic sector, proposing that the fine structure constant (α) is not a fundamental input to physics but a derived efficiency ratio of the "resolution cascade"—the sequential commitment of quantum possibility to geometric record.
Anchored by the Pokorny et al. (2020) experimental demonstration of quantum resolution dynamics, and utilizing a rigorous Shannon channel capacity derivation, the framework models α as the efficiency of the resolution channel bounded by thermodynamic noise. This inversion reveals that the observed "stiffness" of physical constants (β ≈ 10⁻⁵) is actually a direct measurement of the exponential dominance of primordial Planck-epoch constraints over current thermal noise (SNR ≈ e¹⁰⁰'⁰⁰⁰).
The paper yields a specific, falsifiable prediction for the redshift evolution of the fine structure constant (Δα/α ≈ -β ln(1+z)) consistent with current quasar absorption constraints. Furthermore, by integrating the Tolman temperature relation derived in the companion framework, it demonstrates that spatial variation of α must correlate with large-scale matter distribution, offering a unified explanation for the Webb dipole . This document supplements the main "Resolution Cosmology v5.2" framework and is released as a work in progress to stimulate discussion on the informational origins of physical constants.
I will be hanging around to answer any questions you may have; happy Saturday!
