The persistence of the Hubble Tension and recent deviations from standard cosmology observed in Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 2 suggest that cosmic expansion is not driven by a static cosmological constant. Standard cosmology treats the vacuum as a perfectly smooth, continuous manifold. In contrast, the Resonant Lattice Model (RLM) proposes a kinematic-functionalist framework where the vacuum operates as a structured, elastic superfluid lattice subject to geometric impedance. We derive a baseline oscillation period of 0. 481 Gyr, calibrated against the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) sound horizon, and exact a 10^-4 Mpc^-1 topological impedance constraint. By mapping this temporal beat onto low-redshift parameter binnings, we demonstrate that the observed "stop-and-go" expansion is the expected kinematic signature of a tensioned lattice. Furthermore, by incorporating the macroscopic torsion of Einstein-Cartan Theory, the RLM seamlessly recovers the continuous curvature of General Relativity while introducing structural drag as a macroscopic fictitious force. This provides a purely geometric mechanism for galactic rotation curves and localized lensing effects, eliminating the need for collisionless dark matter particles.
