Tritemporal Scalar Lag Theory (TSL) is a phenomenological scalar-tensor framework unifying particle physics, gravity, quantum phenomena, and cosmology through a single scalar field φ with tritemporal dynamics. Mass emerges as lag δ against a Planck-frequency oscillation ω₀, gravity as collective disformal shear, dark matter as reverse-stratum (t₋) echoes without particles, and dynamical dark energy as asymmetric silence. Across forward (t₊), reverse (t₋), and oscillatory (t₀) strata, TSL derives SM anomalies (muon g-2, strong CP), MOND scale a₀ = c H₀ / (2π) ≈ 1. 2 × 10^-10 m s^-2, ultralight effective masses mₑff ≈ 10^-33–10^-10 eV, Hubble tension resolution (local ~73 vs. global ~67 km/s/Mpc), and mild thawing dark energy w (z) ≈ -1 + 0. 083 (1/ (1+z) ) ^2. 1. No new fields or particles; all parameters from SM scales (v = 246 GeV, MPl ≈ 1. 22 × 10^19 GeV) and small biases (~10^-11). v3. 2 includes full Lagrangian and field equations, acceleration limits, generalized interpolation functions, quantum path integrals, Wheeler-DeWitt equation with numerical solutions (including asymmetry δ₋), conformal/disformal extensions, refined forecasts for Euclid DR1 (Oct 2026), DESI, CMB-S4, and JUNO, full string and LQG embeddings to resolve UV completion, derived Yukawa hierarchy for SM embedding, and 5D classical framework for quantum emergence. Aligns with 2025–2026 data (DESI evolving DE, JWST high-z structures, JUNO normal ordering, null DM detections), challenging ΛCDM at >4σ. Falsifiable via near-term observations.
