A Variationally Derived Contracting Cosmology and Its Observational Signatures

Authors: Ivan Aurelian Dan

We present a contraction-based cosmological framework in which theglobal spacetime scale evolves dynamically as a solution of a variational principlewithin General Relativity. The exponential contraction law arises as a backgroundsolution on the contracting branch of the Friedmann equations, rather than beingpostulated. Operational definitions of cosmological observables lead to positiveredshift, closed-form luminosity distances, distinctive BAO scaling, and a strictlynegative Sandage—Loeb redshift drift, providing clear observational discriminantswith respect to standard ΛCDM cosmology.
