Abstract

We present the Multibang Framework, a foundational extension of the TAGC–LQG–RG programme in which cosmogenesis is not described as a single initial event, but as an open sequence of local irreversible anchoring processes. Space-time and the arrow of time are not postulated as fundamental entities, but rather emerge when regions of a pregeometric substrate exceed a universal informational complexity threshold κc = 2.04 ± 0.05. The framework distinguishes three ontological regimes—pregeometric, proto-classical atemporal, and classical-temporal anchored—and proposes that these can coexist stably within a single underlying ontology. This multiplicity does not constitute a multiverse, but rather a stratification of temporal accessibility. We discuss the dynamical implications, the structural asymmetry between cosmological bangs and black holes, and a set of falsifiable observational predictions, including the possibility of contemporary anchoring events.
