To resolve a category error in the Photonic Universe Hypothesis that improperly identified substrate tension simultaneously as a metric component and an independent Brans-Dicke scalar field.
Analyzed reciprocal metric tensor components linked to the static Killing norm ($g_{00} = -\lambda_0/\lambda$ and $g_{rr} = +\lambda/\lambda_0$).
Evaluated parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) expansion parameters against solar-system experimental constraints.
Compared spherical symmetry first integrals ($|\nabla\phi|^2 = C/r^4$) with differential equations in rotating axisymmetric geometries.
Substituting the tension ratio into metric components identically recovered the Schwarzschild metric with PPN parameters $\gamma = 1$ and $\beta = 1$.
Eliminated the 107-fold empirical discrepancy with Cassini radio tracking data by removing the redundant scalar degree of freedom.
Confined the internal exponent discrepancy ($r^{-3.17}$ versus $1/r$) strictly to non-rotating spherical geometries, which are broken under core rotation.
