This synthesis proposes that quantum mechanics and general relativity emerge as two regimes of a single structure: the compactification of the scale axes (spatial ψ, temporal χ) into internal circles. A single scale field governs a predictive, falsifiable inflationary cosmology and settles the regular-black-hole question (none exists, static and dynamic) by one structural cause — the unified pole ∞* is a maximum of the potential, not a refuge. A bridge links the temporal axis χ to the quantum time of HDEQ: the existence factor is derived exactly as ε = E(k)/K(k), with τ₀ ≈ 3.5×10⁻³⁷ s. Honesty about scope: the inflationary sector reproduces known periodic non-minimal natural inflation; the proper, falsifiable signature is the cross-sector correlation β(CMB) = β(closure), the CMB being the sole judge. Presented as a falsifiable research direction, not a closed unification, with every statement tagged by epistemic status.
