Cascading Feedback Loops

Cascading Feedback Loops are the self-reinforcing loops of recursive amplification through which the Prime Pulse substrate reaches Critical Recursive Density and turns computational potential into explosive dimensional emergence. They drive the book's account of cosmic birth as a Computational Phase Transition rather than a spontaneous quantum fluctuation. Null states cannot persist indefinitely; phase alignment can speed up recursive processing, and π-defined resonance conditions govern it, so phase-synchronized recursion amplifies until the substrate crosses its critical density. The resulting cascade is the Physical Nova, the book's computational equivalent of the Big Bang, reached deterministically through the Ignition Loop, and ignition marks the Absolute Beginning of Temporal Structure. They connect to Recursive Amplification, Critical Recursive Density, Ignition Loop, Ignition Process, Phase-Synchronized Recursion, Computational Phase Transitions and the Absolute Beginning of Temporal Structure.
