ABSTRACT The de Sitter transition scale a ₃ ₒ=cH to anomalous galaxy dynamics was previously derived from first principles based on the background Hubble expansion H and the velocity of light c. It introduces a C⁰-transition across a ₃ ₒ, which is in tension with predictions of CDM galaxy models at a significance of 6. Tracing late-time cosmology, it predicted the deep-asymptotic acceleration scale a₀^ th 1. 66 10^-8 cm\, s^{-2} without adjustable parameters based on H and the deceleration parameter q. A recent weak-lensing determination of a₀^ WL = 1. 63-₀. ₂₀^+0. 23 10^-8 cm\, s^-2 now provides an independent empirical test of this prediction. The agreement with the updated theoretical value a₀^ th = 1. 63-₀. ₁₄^+0. 13 10^-8 cm\, s^{-2} closes the logical chain between cosmology, galaxy dynamics, and asymptotic scaling. Unlike phenomenological fits to rotation curves, this result does not rely on tuning or baryonic modelling but follows directly from background cosmology. This parameter-free model suggests some further tests by galaxy surveys extending over a finite range of redshifts.
