Resolving Large-Scale CMB Anomalies via SV0 Finite Topology and Discrete Spacetime

Abstract:The Planck satellite has confirmed several large-scale anomalies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), including the "Axis of Evil", the Cold Spot, and a lack of power at large angular scales (low quadrupole). These anomalies are statistically unlikely within the standard ΛCDM model. In this paper (Paper XXXI of the SV0 series), we present a natural geometric resolution within the Signed-Volume (SV0) framework. We demonstrate that the finite total volume V0 of the SV0 universe imposes a fundamental maximum length scale, leading to a natural cutoff in the CMB power spectrum at low multipoles (ℓ ≲ 10). Furthermore, the discrete nature of Space Packets provides a preferred spatial orientation at the Planck scale, which is imprinted on the CMB as the Axis of Evil. Finally, we show that the Cold Spot arises from a topological defect in the Universal Information Field (UIF) formed during the non-singular quantum bounce. This work eliminates the need for anthropic reasoning or modified inflation to explain these anomalies. Keywords:CMB Anomalies; Axis of Evil; Cold Spot; SV0 Theory; Finite Topology; Discrete Spacetime; Cosmology; Cosmic Microwave Background.
