    "abstract": "We extend the Lorentzian replica framework for computing entanglement entropy to fully time-dependent gravitational settings, with emphasis on cosmological spacetimes without boundaries and gravitational theories lacking a dual quantum field theory description. Our approach constructs the replica path integral directly in real time, avoiding reliance on Euclidean continuation or time-reflection symmetry, and identifies the geometric conditions under which Lorentzian replica saddles appear in dynamical backgrounds. We analyze replica wormholes in both contexts, recovering a generalized version of the island rule. For completeness, we provide a concise review of the existing Lorentzian replica construction for quantum field theories and their holographic duals, which forms the foundation for our generalization.",
