Penrose CCC in Contrast to Vedic Cosmology

Aspect	Penrose's CCC	Mahavishnu (Vedic Cosmology)
Core Concept	Universe undergoes infinite cycles ("aeons") via conformal geometry transitions.	Mahavishnu breathes out and in infinite universes in rhythmic cycles.
Time Structure	Time is cyclic but each aeon is causally disconnected from the previous.	Time is cyclic and recursive, governed by Yugas and Kalpas.
Transition Mechanism	Conformal rescaling at the Big Bang and remote future allows smooth transition.	Inhalation and exhalation of Mahavishnu dissolve and recreate universes.
Multiverse Interpretation	Each aeon is a distinct universe; no interaction between aeons.	Each universe has its own Brahma; infinite universes exist simultaneously.
Role of Consciousness	Consciousness not explicitly modeled; focus is on geometric physics.	Consciousness is central; Mahavishnu dreams the universes into being.
Entropy Handling	Entropy resets via black hole evaporation and conformal flattening.	Entropy cycles through dissolution (*Pralaya*) and rebirth (*Srishti*).
Philosophical Implication	Universe is eternal, with no true beginning or end.	Cosmic play (*Lila*) is eternal; creation is divine expression.
