This article presents a critical–propositional examination of F. A. Lopez’s Emergence of Gravity, Dark Matter and Dark Energy from a Dissipative Higgs Field: A Unified Framework in confrontation with the Theory of Objectivity (TO). The study investigates whether Lopez’s proposal—according to which gravity, dark matter, and dark energy emerge from a dissipative extension of the Higgs field—can be interpreted as compatible with the modal, ontological, and cosmogonic requirements established by TO. The paper argues that Lopez’s framework is theoretically significant as an emergent cosmophysics and as an attempt at intraphysical unification, yet remains insufficient as a full ontology of origin. In response, the article submits the model to the modal discipline of the Theory of Objectivity, examining its compatibilities and tensions in light of the Seven Absolute Truths, the cosmogonic theorem, the phenomenic elements, the Inducer Effects, and the cosmological Eras of TO. Special attention is given to the reinterpretation of dissipative modes as possible traces of relational memory and informational radiation. In this perspective, the article proposes that the dark sector may be read not only as an energetic or geometric problem, but also as a phenomenic manifestation of deeper relational and informational structures. The study further situates the discussion within the broader dialogue between TO and contemporary physics, engaging both the founding bibliography of TO and its recent developments on modal ontology, testability, emergent gravity, and vacuum properties. Rather than rejecting Lopez’s proposal, the paper integrates it into a broader hierarchical framework: Lopez’s model is treated as a valuable description of a derived physical regime, while the Theory of Objectivity is presented as the modal ontology capable of disciplining its scope, clarifying its limits, and extending its interpretive reach.
