Dark Matter, MOND, and K04 Debris in the Finite-QEC Substrate

Abstract

States the current dark-sector canon. The main cleanup is categorical: the dark sector is not a single hidden particle gas, not a single entropy pressure, and not a single defect network — it now resolves into three separated carriers. A boot-frozen K04 debris mechanism leaves gauge-blind wall defects that gravitate but are pinned, so they are a durable, distinctive relic rather than the dominant mobile halo. An R4/MOND mechanism lets scheduler-clocked line records produce the cubic AQUAL action and the baryonic Tully–Fisher relation under a Poisson line-current theorem. And the mobile, pressureless CMB and halo budget is carried by a conserved R4 zero-mode reservoir together with the 17.7 keV sterile-neutrino branch. The K04 toy configuration model is superseded because it admits non-physical K₃,₃ order; the embedded Z₃ bond-subset ensemble is the physical substrate and crystallises strongly, and the earlier thermodynamic island-floor abundance is now archival (K04-as-halo is killed by pinning). Each live branch carries a stated kill condition: the MOND branch dies if the scheduler premise or the baryonic Tully–Fisher normalisation fails; the zero-mode/CMB completion dies if the reservoir cannot act as pressureless geodesic dust without double-counting the active R4/MOND response; and cluster-scale lensing offsets discriminate pinned from collisionless wall debris.
