The Substrate Pushback Principle: Replacing Particle Dark Matter with Holographic Confinement Fields
Abstract
This paper introduces the Substrate Pushback Principle, a theoretical framework that replaces particle-centric dark matter models with an emergent informational cosmology. Instead of introducing hypothetical ultra-light bosons, we demonstrate that galactic dark matter halos can be modeled as non-local confinement fields generated by the holographic limits of spacetime. By mapping the baryonic stress-energy tensor to an information-load metric bounded by Bekenstein limits, we show that high-density galactic cores trigger an inward, geometric stabilization pressure from the spacetime substrate. This computational surface tension inherits the exact macroscopic wave mechanics of contemporary Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) models. Furthermore, by defining the substrate's activation threshold as a dynamic variable scaling with global cosmic expansion, we reconcile this framework with uniform Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. Finally, we show that high-velocity galactic collisions like the Bullet Cluster emerge naturally from a finite holographic propagation time-lag rather than collisionless particle cross-sections. This model provides an architectural "why" for observed cosmic wave mechanics, offering a testable, particle-free alternative for dark matter research.
