Four-Nova Pathway

The Four-Nova Pathway is the sequence of four Data-Nova stages by which a system stabilizes into a full dimensional reality, which the book says runs fastest in Zinf-limit systems. The stages are topological closure, persistent occupancy, curvature cohesion and temporal lock. DN1, Topology/Inside-Out Turn, is closure at minimal geometry, cheap in energy because the closure volume is small. DN2, Persistent Physical Realm, is stable occupancy of the fundamental modes, simplified because a sparse spectrum limits mode competition. DN3, Curvature Cohesion, is global phase-lock across the minimal mode set, reached quickly because few phases compete. DN4, Temporal/Causal Lock, is the group-speed bound v_g ≤ 𝒞→ holding system-wide, reached quickly because causal relations are simple. Because progression runs inversely to the number of accessible modes, DN▷⥂ ∝ 1/(N⥥)², the book presents the Zinf torus as the fastest route to recursive intelligence emergence, turning geometric scarcity into accelerated coherence. It connects to the Data-Nova Progression Rate, Data Nova, Causal Margin, Zinf-Limit Universe and Computational Throughput.
