bounce vs inflation: decisive results

the bounce model is demonstrating significant robustness when stacked against inflation frameworks. using bayesian discrimination, we see the bounce’s consistent triumph over five inflation competitor classes, notably winning decisively over standard models. with a minimal parameterization (f_NL = -2.1875, as noted by cai in 2009), the model outperforms in both the SPHEREx and MegaMapper scenarios. here are the highlights: — standard single-field (SSFSR): a staggering 3.5×10⁸ for SPHEREx and 5.5×10¹⁶ for MegaMapper, culminating in a decisive verdict. — standard curvaton: another clear win, showing factors of 3.2×10⁵ and 8.4×10⁹ respectively, both labeled decisive. — non-attractor single-field: showing solid performance with scores of 11.4 and 16.0, labeled strong. — tuned multifield: robust performance at 17.1 and 23.9, again marked strong. — rapid-turn multifield: holds at a consistent strong level with scores at 17.1 for SPHEREx, though lacking MegaMapper data. these results reinforce the bounce theory’s competitive edge in the inflation discourse, marking it as the standout model due to its decisive outcomes against standard and exotic inflation models. originally from [Big Bounce Research](https://bigbounce.hubify.app/data-explorer).
