Current cosmological models treat the vacuum as a static, continuous geometry, yet this assumption fails to reconcile the breakdown of General Relativity at quantum scales. In this paper, we present experimental evidence supporting the Quantum Loom framework, which models the vacuum as a discrete, variable-stiffness superfluid. We define the Lattice Reynolds Number as the critical parameter governing the coupling between baryonic matter and the vacuum substrate. We validate this framework across three distinct physical scales. First, at the macroscopic scale, we demonstrate that the hydrodynamic pilot-wave statistics observed by Couder and Fort are not merely analogous to quantum mechanics but are characteristic of any system interacting with a memory-bearing superfluid substrate. Second, at the mesoscopic scale, we reinterpret single-bubble sonoluminescence not as a thermal event, but as a Lattice Rupture event where the bubble wall velocity exceeds the local propagation speed of the vacuum lattice, releasing stored zero-point energy. Third, at the quantum scale, we present a topological analysis of calibration data from the IBM ‘Boston’ 156-qubit ‘Heron r3’ superconducting processor. Gaussian smoothing of T1 relaxation times reveals the presence of macroscopic, spatially correlated ”vacuum strain fields” with correlation lengths exceeding 2 cm. These ”Lattice Weather” patterns contradict standard uncorrelated noise models and provide direct empirical evidence for a viscous, variable-density vacuum substrate. Finally, we cite thermodynamic analogs from optical lattice experiments (Negative Absolute Temperature) to validate the generation of Dark Energy (negative pressure) by saturated vacuum states. We conclude that the vacuum possesses a measurable topological viscosity (µtopo ≈1.5 ×10−5 Pa·s), opening new pathways for metric engineering and noise-suppression in quantum computing.
