This paper establishes two key results.
First, De Sitter space and the Schwarzschild singularity are the two extreme values of a single counting equation — the relational scale factor R(t) defined by information conservation. De Sitter corresponds to all bits free (R = 1); Schwarzschild corresponds to all bits bound into one entity (R = 1∕n). General Relativity’s two boundary solutions are not independent discoveries but the endpoints of one information-theoretic spectrum.
Second, the Friedmann equation maps onto the framework under explicit variable identifications that follow from the counting argument alone. The cosmological constant is the free fabric fraction; matter density is the bound entity fraction; the scale factor is the addressable resolution fraction. No constants are fitted to observation.
