Cosmic Stability Optimization: Comparison to bones

Bone Structure and Cosmic Filament Network

1. The Delicate Bone Structure (Spongiosa)

Inside large bones lies the spongiosa, a sponge-like, delicate structure made of bony trabeculae.
This architecture provides several evolutionarily optimized advantages:

  • Stability per mass: Trabeculae are aligned along lines of tension and compression, ensuring maximum stability with minimal weight.
  • Shock absorption: Impacts are not directly transmitted to the compact bone layer but are distributed and cushioned.
  • Dynamic adaptability: According to Wolff’s law, spongiosa adapts to real stress — it becomes denser where loads are high and is reduced where loads are low.

Thus, bone architecture follows a clear principle: maximum stability with minimum material use to withstand pressure applied to the structure.

2. The Cosmic Filament Structure (according standard physics)

At the largest scales, the universe reveals a similar delicate structure: the cosmic web.
It consists of filaments of dark matter, gas, and galaxies, separating vast voids.

  • Formation through dynamics: From tiny density fluctuations, filaments grew over billions of years as matter flowed together gravitationally.
  • Force balance: Gravity pulls matter inward, while cosmic expansion (accelerated by dark energy) pushes outward.
  • Stability through networking: Like trabeculae in bone, cosmic filaments form a net that maintains stability across immense distances, without collapsing or dispersing entirely.
  • Self-organization: Just as bone iteratively adapts to stress, the cosmic web organizes itself over long timescales into a highly stable yet lightweight framework.

3. Comparison of Stress Conditions

System Stress / Counterforce Structural Response
Bone (Spongiosa) Muscle pull, body weight, impacts Trabeculae align along force lines → stability + cushioning
Cosmos (Filaments) Gravity vs. expansion, dark energy Filaments align along density gradients → cosmic web structure

4. Analogy: Preservation outward and inward

  • Remain stable outward:
    Bone resists tension and compression; the cosmic web resists expansion and collaps.

  • Avoid collapse inward:
    Trabeculae prevent fracture, while cosmic filaments prevent matter from collapsing fully into black holes.

  • Efficiency principle:
    Both systems achieve stability not by being solid blocks but through networks that channel forces while allowing cavities and openness.

5. Meta-Reflection: The Objective Function

In bone, the goal is obvious: to support and enable bodily movement.
For the universe, a parallel idea can be suggested:

  • Universes without stability (only Big Bang → Big Fall, or endless expansion without structure) could not sustain long-term complexity (galaxies, stars, life).
  • Only those universes persist that find a fragile, long-lasting balance:
    • Gravitational attraction along filaments holds the web together.
    • Energy-density repulsion (expansion) is absorbed by linear and planar structures.
    • This preserves the “sponge-like” cosmic web — neither collapsing inward nor dispersing outward.

6. The Roton Model and the Cosmic Filament Structure

Within the Roton Model, two fundamental forces are emphasized across different scales:

  1. Attractive force due to rotational resonances
  2. Repulsive force due to energy-density gradients

How does this connect to the observed cosmic filament network?

  • Rotational (attractive) forces act along linear filaments (co-axial alignments) and planar walls (parallel-axial alignments).
    These preferred geometries stabilize matter along stretched, thread-like structures and broad, sheet-like boundaries.

  • Repulsive forces are minimized in the vast cosmic voids, since in these regions no significant energy density is present.
    The voids therefore act as natural pressure-relief zones, allowing expansion while not disrupting the filigree filament framework.

The cosmic structure thus arises as a balance:

  • maximize the remaining attractive interactions over immense distances,
  • while minimizing the amount of matter needed to sustain stability.

In this view, the voids are not empty gaps but rather the primary structural elements: like tightly packed soap bubbles, they press against each other, with thin filaments and sheets of matter forming the interfaces in between.

This perspective casts the large-scale universe as a kind of spatial foam:

  • filaments and walls = stabilizing struts, shaped by rotational resonance
  • voids = expansive scaffolding, keeping repulsive energy spread out and contained

Final Thought

The delicate structure in both bone and cosmos allows for very, very long-term stability and continuity.
It is a prerequisite for complexity, evolution, and perhaps even consciousness.
Thus, it resists both the Big Fall and eternal expansion. This indicates, that the universe effectively forms a stable long-term structure — and perhaps has done so since, and will continue to do so into, both positive and negative eternity. Profoundly fascinating.
