- We establish the linear instability of the semiclassical Einstein-Klein-Gordon system linearised about the Minkowski vacuum spacetime. The proof relies on formulating a forcing problem for both metric and state perturbations within the space of past-compact sections. This geometric framework admits a unique tensor decomposition which, in conjunction with the quantum Møller operator, enables the decoupling of the linearised system into two distinct Cauchy problems. Consequently, the metric perturbations are shown to be governed by a higher-order, nonlocal hyperbolic partial differential equation. By relegating the nonlocal contributions to subleading order, we establish the well-posedness of this forcing problem. Furthermore, we provide a rigorous asymptotic analysis for physically admissible choices of the renormalisation constants. We prove that the system exhibits a late-time linear instability: the metric perturbations grow exponentially, bounded strictly by a universal scale H, thereby indicating a quantum backreaction-driven transition toward a de Sitter cosmological spacetime. Provided the parameters governing the system are restricted to a physically relevant regime, this universal scale is compatible with the measured expansion of our universe.
