The Ontological Hierarchy of the Cosmos

Section: Cosmology and Structure

Common Relativity proposes a hierarchical structure of physical reality, organized in ascending ontological levels, from local to universal.

This hierarchy is not merely descriptive, but reflects the fundamental properties of spacetime and the natural limits imposed by Pilotta's Constant.

V

Cosmos

The immense and limitless container: the totality encompassing infinite bubble-universes and the primordial field.

M → ∞ Boundless container
IV

Bubble-Universes

Causally separated domains born from the bounce of black holes reaching the ξ limit. Each universe has a maximum mass limit.

Mmax = ξ ≃ 3×1054 kg Pilotta's Constant
III

Galaxies

Self-organized gravitational structures containing billions of stars.

~1042 kg Milky Way: ~1012 M
II

Stellar Systems

Stars with their planetary systems, governed by nuclear fusion.

1033–1039 kg From the Sun to massive stars
I

Planetary Systems

Planets, moons and minor bodies in gravitational orbit.

1026–1033 kg From Earth to Jupiter
