The Unary Field Theory (UFT) predicts the existence of unique astrophysical regions characterized by anomalously low visible matter density but deep gravitational potentials. This effect arises because gravity in the UFT is not a force mediated by mass, but the emergent consequence of κt flow shear—the gradient of the unary field Ψ. The spacetime metric is derived from g_μν ∝ ∂μ Ψ^† ∂ν Ψ, meaning regions of strong κt flow shear produce gravitational effects even in the absence of large baryonic or dark matter overdensities. This paper identifies several observed anomalies naturally explained by this mechanism: the local Hubble flow dipole, the “cold spot” in the CMB, and discrepancies between lensing and X-ray mass estimates of galaxy clusters. Observational strategies using LSST, DESI, and CMB-S4 are outlined to distinguish this effect from modified gravity and systematic errors. This is UFT Prediction Paper VIII in the series; the unified framework is given in the main paper: Zou (2026), doi: 10. 5281/zenodo. 21186809.
