The entropy density field of the Relational–Structural Framework is modified to include a non-linear coupling that activates when the local gravitational acceleration drops below a critical threshold set by the cosmological entropy decay rate. The threshold acceleration a0 = c2√(Λ/3) / (2π) ≈ 1.2 × 10-10 m/s2 emerges naturally from the same parameter λ that gives the cosmological constant Λ = 3λ/D. In the regime where g >> a0, the field is Newtonian (g = GM/r2). In the regime where g << a0, the field becomes g = √(a0GM)/r, producing constant circular velocities v = (GMa0)1/4 — flat rotation curves without dark matter particles. The transition radius rt = √(GM/a0) ≈ 10 kpc for a Milky-Way-mass galaxy matches where observed rotation curves begin to flatten. The Tully-Fisher relation (L ~ v4) follows automatically. The mysterious numerical coincidence a0 ≈ cH0 is explained: both are consequences of the cosmological entropy decay rate. Dark matter phenomenology and dark energy are unified as two manifestations of a single thermodynamic processing floor.
