  "abstract": "This working paper presents Cosmological Thermosynthesis Theory (TTC) as a provisional framework that seeks to relate cosmic expansion to the maintenance of thermodynamic disequilibrium and the emergence of local complexity. Building on the\n\nclassical notion of the cosmic entropy gap, the model proposes that expansion helps preserve a gap between the actual entropy of the universe and the maximum entropy it could have attained, thereby sustaining gradients that enable structured dissipation.\n\nThree hypotheses are examined: (1) expansion as a contributor to the maintenance of disequilibrium; (2) complex adaptive systems (including life and intelligence) as efficient channels of ordered energy throughput; and (3) the cost of civilizational\n\nfragmentation measured in terms of lost processing capacity. A possible physical realization involving an ultralight scalar field (fuzzy dark matter) is explored as scaf folding, not as a necessary foundation. The model remains explicitly falsifiable in its peripheral claims and open to revision or abandonment. No moral or political directives are derived from the physics.",
