This paper presents a dynamical interpretation of galactic evolution within a tension-based framework of spacetime. Rather than treating galaxies as systems formed through a singular cosmological event, the model considers them as evolving structures governed by the accumulation, distribution, and release of internal tension. Within this framework, supermassive central structures are interpreted as regions of concentrated loading, where ongoing accretion and compression increase internal tension over time. As this accumulation approaches a critical stability threshold, the system may transition to a new regime in which stored energy is redistributed or released. This process provides a structural basis for recurring large-scale dynamical events. The paper explores how these threshold-driven transitions can contribute to the formation and evolution of galactic structure. By framing galactic dynamics in terms of stability, accumulation, and release, the model offers an alternative perspective in which large-scale behavior emerges from the same underlying principles that govern smaller bound systems.
