Abstract

We derive an emergent dissipative acceleration acting on Near-Earth Objects due to granular spacetime structure in the EGESB–G₂ framework. The effect produces a Stokes-type drag with coefficient γG₂ ≈ 1. 3×10⁻²⁷ s⁻¹. Direct detection is not feasible, but a base-12 harmonic signature in orbital residuals is predicted and testable via Lomb–Scargle analysis of public JPL/NEODyS data.
