The Time-Compounding Spacetime Inertia & Gravitational Feedback Hypothesis

Executive Summary: Discrepancies traditionally attributed to an undiscovered "Dark Matter"particle may instead be understood through an alternative geometric framework rooted in themechanical and interactive properties of the cosmic canvas. This hypothesis proposes that galacticrotation anomalies and structural lensing signatures are manifestations of intrinsic, noninstantaneous structural behaviors within the fabric of spacetime itself. Rather than modeling spacetime as a passive, instantly resetting backdrop, this framework treats itas a dynamic medium characterized by local inertia, response latency, variable structuralstiffness, and the capacity to store and compound momentum over cosmologicaltimescales. By introducing a structural asymmetry between baryonic matter and gravitationalgeometry, this model accounts for observed rotational curves and dynamic separations withoutinvoking non-baryonic particle interventions.
