SDEF Dark Energy Analogue: Gradient Diminution and Constraint Relaxation

SDEF Dark Energy: Gradient Diminution and Constraint Relaxation extends the Scalar Drag Emergence Framework (SDEF) by interpreting the dark energy analogue as the dissipation-dominant organizational regime of the mature transport architecture. The paper identifies gradient diminution as the underlying transport mechanism and progressive relaxation of maintained organizational constraints as its organizational consequence. Within this framework, dark energy is not interpreted as a fundamental field, cosmological constant, or independent interaction, but as the large-scale dissipative consequence of the continual evolution of maintained organized transport. The paper establishes the Cosmological Dissipation Theorem, introduces the effective relaxation parameter as an emergent organizational descriptor, and positions the Dark Energy Analogue within the canonical SDEF theorem cascade as the complement to the maintenance-dominant Dark Matter Analogue.
