Relaxation-Driven Cyclic Cosmology (RDCC) v19.0 - Minimal Effective Two-Sector Version

Relaxation-Driven Cyclic Cosmology (RDCC) v19.0 – Minimal Effective Two-Sector Version This updated version includes a new numerical demonstration of the nonsingular cosmological bounce (Figure 1), generated with the accompanying Python script. The simulation shows a clear contraction → bounce at finite a_min ≈ 0.452 → expansion over long time scales (t up to 500), with bounded energy density and regular curvature invariants, fully consistent with Sections 6 and 11. The Python code (RDCC_bounce_simulator_v19.py) is provided as supplementary material for full reproducibility of Figure 1. All previous results (ns ≈ 0.964, dark matter abundance, baryon asymmetry, multi-cycle stability, etc.) remain unchanged.
