Cosmology

Cosmology refers to a system of ideas that explains the structure, order, and operation of the universe. It addresses questions such as what exists, how the world is arranged, where humans fit within it, and how stability or disorder is understood. In literary and ancient religious texts, cosmology is often expressed through images, stories, or spatial models rather than technical description. These frameworks reflect how a community understood reality based on observation, tradition, and shared assumptions. Cosmology did not originally try to describe the universe scientifically but to provide a coherent picture of how the world is believed to work and why it is ordered as it is.
