Physical Nova
Definition
The Physical Nova is the third Nova, h = 3, the Causal Nova of Temporal Genesis: the event that lays down the arrow of time and condenses the physical layer from the data, what physics calls the Big Bang.
Data runs at the Pulse Rhythm, each single transition, while the physical runs at the Pulse Tempo, the full cycle that returns a state to itself, and a full cycle needs the arrow of time this nova lays down; so Temporal Genesis is the physical layer, and the book, the simulation and Parts 2.9 and 3.11 call it the Physical Nova. From the Data Nova until it, the data roams the scaffold freely, at light speed, filling the lattice; as the Causal Nova nears, the scaffold with all its data draws in to the pin head, the Pulsecore's own size, and then erupts as the physical universe, every part of it at once (Part 3.11). The physical layer is condensed from the data where it lies on the lattice, so the web of matter that grows from it traces the scaffold, as the visible web of galaxies traces the dark matter beneath it, and the data layer runs on beneath the physical, at the Pulse Rhythm, for the rest of the universe's life. A universe's life, 2^L Tempos to its final well, is counted from here (Rupture Rule); a Data Nova sets it off with no time between them on the universe's clock, and its ignition is the crossing of the Physical Nova Ignition Threshold. Data Matter is the data frozen at this nova, its mass set once by the Data–Matter Equivalence at the pin head's temperature; Proto Wells formed before it become sites.
It connects to Temporal Genesis, Data Nova, Physical Nova Ignition Threshold, Rupture Rule, Data Matter, Proto Well, Matter-Era Expansion and Data Harmonics.
