Rey-TIDE III: Torsion as an Emergent Dark Sector: Global Consistency and Falsifiable Predictions

We present a cosmological implementation of environmental spacetime torsion within an Einstein–Cartan framework. Torsion is activated by virialized matter density, remains absent in the early Universe, and produces an emergent late-time geometric residual mimicking dark energy. The model unifies cluster-scale anomalies with late-time cosmology and provides falsifiable environmental predictions.
