There are several things that need to be understood to better answer this question. There is a difference between a mental construct and tangible reality. For example, science works under the assumption that time is a reference variable and not a thing. While space is not a thing like the aether, but the void between things. Infinity is a mathematical construct and not a thing since how can you measure something without any boundaries. But on the other hand, there are many real and tangible things like mass and energy due to effects these cause.

Mental constructs only exist in the human mind. They are useful because they can be used to orientate the mind, so we can correlate and explain the behavior and the interactivity of the real and tangible things. In a real and tangible sense, the universe is the tangible stuff. But when we combine the real stuff with constructs we are mixing the tangible with the intangible.

Let me give an example of this mind effect. Don't take this example the wrong way, but it will help one see the mind effect creating by mixing real and tangible with constructs which exist only in the mind. A unicorn is not real, but it could be used as a mental construct to give a particular structure to flesh and bones. If I then say the unicorn is running, one can visualize this in the imagination. I am combining running, which is real, with something that is a construct. So what I am describing is now partially real, even though it is still imaginary. The effect is analogous to the cute babe near the magician (running) distracts the mind with something real, while the magician uses his construct (unicorn) to create magic. But if you look behind the scenes, it is the construct of the mechanism that creates the final effect. It is not the disappearing hat that is generating the construct mechanism.

That being said, to define the size of only the tangible universe and not the construct-tangible universe, we need to use only real and tangible things and leave out all or most of the constructs. It is a boring magic show without construct mechanisms.

The real and tangible restraints implies the expansion of space-time can't be used because it has the property of a unicorn running. How can two none real things expand or contract? We need to restrict ourself to matter and/or energy because these are real and tangible. As a side note, matter is being turned, buy some, into space-time effects. This amount to horses becoming unicorns, which is a disturbing trend.

Let us get back to the universe. Energy travels at C, which is real. C is independent of reference, which is real. So far so good. The second premise, gets rid of space-time expansion or the unicorn running, because energy does not care when it comes to the unicorn's reference. We have energy chugging along at C, ignoring the unicorn, although wavelength will change. The question is how far can C go in the amount of time we have? Unfortunately, this question includes the concept of time which is a construct, sort of an unicorn horn being added to the horse we are trying to create. But it is mostly horse but we need to get rid of the horn.

The approach I took to remove the unicorn's horn of time, was to see if it was possible to define time in terms of tangibles. The idea was not simply translate the existing construct, into a new concept for a pixie, but redefine what is meant by time so it is tangible and subject to measurement. The very idea of trying to remove the unicorn's horn of time, to create a horse is met with resistance, because the unicorn can do many more things, even mutually exclusive things.

Here is one line of thinking for removing the unicorn's horn of time. Every photon carries with it a time associated effect; frequency. Photons did this even before humans developed the time concept, yet frequency is a tangible manifestation of the concept common to all photons. This is a way to turn the unicorn's horn, into something tangible, since now time is somehow connected to energy potential. I understand a unicorn without a horn looks funny but bare with me.

Getting back to the universe, we can use energy at C to define distance, because the speed of light is not effected by the changing reference as the unicorn runs. Although C is not effected, the frequency or time aspect of energy do show an effect. What we notice is energy red shifting or higher energy photons being turned into lower energy photons. This implies time's potential is being used up or lapsing. If time lapses quickly, the unicorn appears to running faster. It is the running that is key, in this case a tangible horse is what is running.

It is likely tangible time (energy related) charged out the gate and was galloping at the beginning of the universe, with time potential used up quickly, to create matter that is still around today. Time now appears to be walking, by comparison, although data suggests time appears to trotting opening its gait. The time potential curve is not linear. But C was chugging along paying no mind to the change in time potential.

The upper limit of the tangible universe's size is equal to its estimated age times the speed of light. But that estimate uses constructs. Time potential could have been burning the candle at both ends, especially at the beginning, using up the time potential quickly, thereby making the universe appear older than it looks.
