Cosmic Process

A Cosmic Process is a universe-scale continuous physical process that drives ongoing transformations of cosmic matter, cosmic energy, and cosmic structures throughout cosmic time.

• AKA: Universal Process, Cosmological Process, Astronomical-Scale Process.
• Context:
  • It can typically operate across Cosmic Timescales spanning from cosmic microseconds to cosmic billion years.
  • It can typically transform Cosmic System States through cosmic gradual changes or cosmic phase transitions.
  • It can typically exhibit Cosmic Causality Chains linking cosmic initial conditions to cosmic final outcomes.
  • It can typically follow Cosmic Physical Laws including cosmic thermodynamic principles and cosmic conservation rules.
  • It can typically generate Cosmic Feedback Loops between cosmic system components and cosmic environmental factors.
  • ...
  • It can often involve Cosmic Energy Flows from cosmic high-density regions to cosmic low-density regions.
  • It can often create Cosmic Pattern Formations through cosmic self-organizations and cosmic emergent behaviors.
  • It can often require Cosmic Critical Thresholds for cosmic process initiations or cosmic phase changes.
  • It can often produce Cosmic Irreversible Changes contributing to cosmic entropy production and cosmic time asymmetry.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Quantum Cosmic Process to being a Classical Cosmic Process, depending on its cosmic governing physics.
  • It can range from being a Linear Cosmic Process to being a Nonlinear Cosmic Process, depending on its cosmic response characteristic.
  • It can range from being a Equilibrium Cosmic Process to being a Non-Equilibrium Cosmic Process, depending on its cosmic thermodynamic state.
  • It can range from being a Deterministic Cosmic Process to being a Stochastic Cosmic Process, depending on its cosmic predictability level.
  • It can range from being a Local Cosmic Process to being a Universal Cosmic Process, depending on its cosmic spatial scope.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Cosmic Events for cosmic discrete transition.
  • It can connect to Cosmic Phenomenons for cosmic observable manifestation.
  • It can interface with Cosmic Conditions for cosmic environmental constraint.
  • It can synchronize with Cosmic Measures for cosmic quantitative tracking.
  • It can relate to Physical Processes for cosmic general categorization.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Expansion Cosmic Processes, such as:
    • Universe Expansion Phenomenon, continuously increasing cosmic spatial distances between cosmic unbound objects.
    • Dark Energy Acceleration Process, driving cosmic exponential expansion of cosmic space-time.
    • Cosmic Inflation Process, rapidly expanding cosmic early universe solving cosmic initial condition problems.
  • Formation Cosmic Processes, such as:
    • Star Formation Process, condensing cosmic gas clouds into cosmic fusion reactors.
    • Galaxy Formation Process, aggregating cosmic dark matter and cosmic baryonic matter.
    • Planetary System Formation Process, accreting cosmic dust disks into cosmic orbital bodyes.
  • Evolution Cosmic Processes, such as:
    • Stellar Evolution Process, transforming cosmic hydrogen through cosmic nuclear burning stages.
    • Chemical Evolution Process, enriching cosmic interstellar medium with cosmic heavy elements.
    • Darwinian Biological Evolution Process, diversifying cosmic life forms through cosmic natural selection.
  • Synthesis Cosmic Processes, such as:
    • Nucleosynthesis Process, creating cosmic elements through cosmic nuclear reactions.
    • Post-Big Bang Matter Formation Process, converting cosmic energy into cosmic particles.
    • Molecular Cloud Chemistry Process, forming cosmic complex molecules in cosmic interstellar space.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Laboratory Process, which occurs under controlled conditions unlike natural cosmic processes.
  • Instantaneous Event, which lacks the continuous nature characteristic of cosmic processes.
  • Reversible Cycle, which returns to initial states unlike irreversible cosmic processes.
  • Human-Engineered Process, which involves artificial design rather than natural evolution of cosmic processes.
