Holographic Residual Dark Matter: A Non-Particle Residual Geometric Framework for Cold-Dark-Matter Phenomenology

Holographic Residual Dark Matter (HRDM), also referred to in this file set as IHRM, is proposed as a non-particle residual geometric framework for phenomena traditionally modeled by cold dark matter. The theory does not deny cold-dark-matter phenomenology; instead, it asks whether non-luminous gravitational effects attributed to particle dark matter may arise from a residual geometric response associated with holographic projection. This v1.1 update clarifies that HRDM is a focused extension within holographic cosmology rather than a replacement of holographic cosmology as a whole. It interprets inflation as the necessary projection-surface completion path by which a pre-geometric holographic seed reaches the minimum information surface-area condition required for projection lock-in. The lock-in state produces an emergent classical metric while freezing finite-area projection mismatches into the residual geometric sector X. The update also clarifies that the apparent motion of X should be understood as geometric redistribution rather than particle transport, and that quasi-topological language is used only as a mathematical supplement for describing global residual constraint and local redistribution, not as an identification of X with a known topological defect or soliton.
