SDEF Dark Matter: Persistent Transport Organization as the Source of Curvature

SDEF Dark Matter: Persistent Transport Organization as the Source of Curvature extends the Scalar Drag Emergence Framework (SDEF) by interpreting the dark matter analogue as the maintenance-dominant organizational regime of the mature transport architecture. The paper argues that persistent curvature is not an intrinsic property but the continuously regenerated consequence of maintained organized transport governed by dynamic constraints, including feedback, least-loss transport selection, memory, and ancestry. Within this framework, dark matter is not treated as a particle or independent field but as an emergent organizational regime arising from persistent transport organization. The paper establishes the persistence condition, develops the Dark Matter Persistence Theorem, examines implications for galactic rotation curves, and positions the dark matter analogue within the canonical SDEF theorem cascade.
