I will follow your terminology. In my model, the cosmos is infinite. It contains universes. All universes remain pulsating. The universes do not move away from their respective places. So at any time the cosmos looks the same.

Each universe pulsates. Galaxy clusters are the individual units of the universes. These clusters move away from the centre of the universe and after reaching a certain point return back. The whole energy in the universe is possessed by the galaxy clusters and a system electromagnetic radiations that co-exist with the system of clusters. Thus in fact, as a single unit, a universe has no energy of its own.

Similarly, the whole gravitational force is utlised in the formation of the system of clusters. Therefore the universes have no force. Thus, no interactions take place between universes. That is any change in any universe does not affect the rest.

Nothing including light can move out of the universe. Light(all e-m radiations) moves along a circular path (not due to any curvature of space, but due to the inherent force in it) and can never cross the boundary of the universe. So no information passes from one universe to the other.

Thus the universes are independent and self contained systems. The pulsation of the universe is a thermodynamic process confined to it. The cosmos is not affected. The cosmos is not a system; it is just an ensemble, and the universes are distributed randomly.
