**Preprint | Continuum Field Entropy Empirical Validation Series** Standard CDM cosmology reveals a persistent discrepancy in the amplitude of matter clustering (S₈) between early-universe Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) predictions and late-universe Redshift-Space Distortion (RSD) and weak lensing surveys. Current literature attempts to patch this tension by proposing evolving or “dynamical” Dark Energy (w₀ - wₐ models) to artificially suppress late-time structure formation. We demonstrate that this discrepancy natively resolves within the Continuum Field Entropy (CFE) framework. By modeling the vacuum as a tension-bearing Cosserat continuum field, the amplitude of structure formation is directly coupled to the background yield stress (T₁₆). The high-tension early field artificially drove accelerated mass assembly, matching CMB expectations, while the entropic thermodynamic relaxation of the field suppressed local clustering, matching modern surveys such as BOSS, VIPERS, and eBOSS. By deriving a kinematic drag coefficient based on the entropic decay of the field, we perfectly intercept the heavily anomalous eBOSS ELG measurement at z = 0. 845. We conclude that the S₈ tension does not require novel dark energy scalars; it is the fundamental signature of the universe cooling and the field relaxing. **Project Integration: **This document is a standalone validation report.
