The proposal that the first entities to emerge from the primordial chaos in creation myths (the Greek Protogenoi like Chaos, Gaia, Tartarus, Eros) represent the first discrete physical phenomena to "crystalize" out of the singularity. Chaos is the quantum foam/initial singularity; Gaia is the emergence of spacetime geometry; Tartarus is the asymmetry that creates gravity wells/black holes; Eros is the fundamental attractive force (gravity/weak force) that allows binding. This hypothesis reads myth as a topological sequence of cosmic phase transitions, where each "primordial being" is a new order parameter or field condensing in the early universe.

Example: In the first 10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang, the Protogenoi Hypothesis suggests the following "births": Chaos reigns (the Planck epoch, no distinct physics). Then Gaia "solidifies" (spacetime gains metric structure). Tartarus "sinks" below (gravitational singularities/negative energy densities separate). Eros "awakens" (forces differentiate and allow attraction). The myth isn't a story; it's a cosmological timeline encoded in narrative form, with each Protogenoi representing a critical threshold in the cooling universe's loss of symmetry. Protogenoi Hypothesis.
