This volume develops the first full cosmographic application of R-layer Mode Theory (RLMT) to multiply-imaged Type Ia supernovae, focusing on the JWST discovery of SN H0pe. In RLMT, the observed Hubble parameter is a projection of a higher-layer tension field, and different cosmological probes sample different layers. SN H0pe provides three images, two time delays, and three absolute magnifications, enabling the first direct reconstruction of the mid-layer expansion rate, Hₘid ≈ 72 km/s/Mpc. This value lies between the TRGB and CMB determinations, offering direct observational evidence for layered cosmic expansion. The volume further presents predictions for future JWST, Roman, and Euclid observations, including the universality of the ordering Hₗow < Hₕigh < Hₘid and the expected appearance of additional multiply-imaged SNe Ia in the G165 field.
