The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed black holes in the early universe that are too massive for their host galaxies under standard seeding models. These overmassive black holes require formation mechanisms that produce heavy seeds faster than conventional stellar evolution allows. This paper proposes a mechanical engineering framework for Direct Cold Collapse — the formation of a supermassive black hole from a primordial hydrogen megacloud without any stellar phase. The key mechanism proposed is gravitational wave thermal dissipation: a non-rotating self-gravitating H₂ megacloud, as it compresses under its own gravity, generates gravitational waves that carry thermal energy away through the spacetime fabric. This replaces the photon-based cooling channels required by standard DCBH models. Without the need for atomic hydrogen cooling, the standard metallicity and radiation field constraints on DCBH formation are relaxed. The non-rotating geometry removes centrifugal support entirely, enabling monotonic collapse without fragmentation into stars. The framework connects dark matter and dark energy to the same object population: self-gravitating primordial H₂ megaclouds at galactic edges are proposed as the source of observed dark matter gravitational effects, while the pressure differential between these edge clouds and the expanding fabric produces the observed dark energy signature. A testable prediction follows: galactic regions where Direct Cold Collapse dominated should be heavy-element poor, since no supernovae occur without a stellar phase. This elemental abundance signature should be detectable in the host galaxies of JWST overmassive black holes. No experimental data is presented. Priority of the conceptual framework is established by this publication date.
