Information Tension Theory: A Geometric Replacement for Dark Matter

Background & Motivation: The standard cosmological model faces structural failure when confronted with JWST high-redshift data, specifically the "Impossible Early Galaxy" problem. This paper proposes a first-principles resolution to galactic rotation anomalies without the need for Dark Matter. Methods & Formal Framework: We introduce Information Tension Theory, replacing dark matter with the Information Tension tensor (T_uv) derived from the holonomy of a 240-dimensional Stiefel manifold. Field evolution is governed by the Conformal Sovereign Action (S_Y), which stabilizes at the Sovereign Boundary (chi_s = 0.9539). Results & Contributions: By deriving corrected galactic rotation curves via the T(r) boosting…
