Soliton propagation direction
Energy bubble expansion
Vortex drift lines
This opens a potential connection to Ricci flow analogs, where entropy minimization drives geometric evolution.
5. Entropy as an Order Parameter
Combined metrics reveal:
Thus, entropy here behaves as an order parameter, tracking the birth of structure and emergence of proto-geometry.
The interplay of blink excitation, nonlinear field interactions, and topological self-organization leads to:
A quantifiable reduction in entropy
Localized, high-density information carriers
Long-range coherence, previously absent in the system
This suggests a non-equilibrium informational arrow of time, where spatial order and proto-geometry arise not through cooling or mass accretion, but through field self-structuring and entropy suppression mechanisms---a provocative bridge between thermodynamics, information theory, and emergent cosmology.
VI. Implications and Theoretical Discussion
A. Comparison with Cosmological Models
Big Bang vs. Blink Universe in Lab Analogs
The experimental and theoretical framework developed in this study offers a fertile ground for comparing competing cosmological paradigms within a condensed-matter analog system. By encoding information excitation into nonlinear fields, we can investigate how structure, coherence, and curvature can emerge without requiring traditional matter-energy explosions. This allows us to contrast the standard Big Bang model with an alternative "Blink Universe" hypothesis, in a controlled, scalable platform.
