Beyond the Big Bang: Resolving the Lithium Discrepancy Through Quantum Coherence and Discrete Geometry

The thermal and singularity assumptions of the standard Big Bang model are re-examined through the lens of Multifaceted Coherence (MC) and the Superluminal Graviton Condensate Vacuum (SGCV). While Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) successfully explains the primordial abundances of hydrogen and helium, it overpredicts the concentration of lithium-7 by a factor of three. It underpredicts lithium-6 by several orders of magnitude—a persistent discrepancy that remains unresolved within standard cosmology. These anomalies are attributed not to observational error but to a fundamental mischaracterization of the early universe as a thermally equilibrated, isotropic plasma. In contrast, structured quantum coherence fields, discrete curvature geometries, and entropy–coherence couplings are proposed as dominant mechanisms shaping nucleosynthetic outcomes. The observable projection psi_s^star emerges from a deeper coherence substrate psi_s within the SGCV. As coherence decays, energy is redistributed through ghost fields, vacuum fluctuations, and curvature memory, selectively suppressing lithium-7 and enhancing lithium-6 abundance in high-curvature domains. The integration of the Dodecahedron Linear String Field Hypothesis (DLSFH) further reveals how discrete topological constraints modulate nuclear reaction cross-sections and resonance pathways. Nucleosynthesis is reformulated using coherence-weighted yield equations, replacing classical thermodynamic predictions. This coherence-based framework resolves the lithium problem without invoking a primordial singularity, restores informational continuity across early cosmic epochs, and establishes a quantum-geometric foundation for cosmogenesis.
