The Ghost‑Dominance Transition

Paper 7 of an 8 part series. This paper develops the concept of the ghost‑dominance transition, the scale at which the combinatorial expansion of the ghost dual complex overtakes the metric influence of the primal Honeycomb Unit (HU) lattice. The HU governs local curvature and matter behavior, while the ghost complex expands outward through a forced doubling rule that generates a hierarchy of adjacency layers. As these layers accumulate, the ghost complex begins to dominate global curvature, gravitational attenuation, and large‑scale structure. The paper formalizes the transition radius, analyzes the shift from metric to combinatorial curvature, and explores the consequences for cosmic acceleration, dark‑matter die‑off, and the large‑scale geometry of the universe. This transition is a central structural feature of the Honeyverse, linking local physics to cosmological behavior. v1
