Abstract
This paper presents a rigorous, particle-free alternative to the standard Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric expansion paradigm by unifying the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model and Informational Exomemory Cosmology (IEC). Rather than treating the vacuum as a geometric void expanding via dark energy, we formalize space as a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic phase fluid substrate operating at a resonant baseline (z=0). Three-dimensional (3D) baryonic matter emerges exclusively as localized, high-tension wave crests ("knots") projected vertically along a spatial z-axis, topologically anchored to zero-volume underbelly negative wave troughs ("anchors").
By applying continuum fluid mechanics to this membrane architecture, we reinterpret the 150-megaparsec Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) scale not as a frozen 3D acoustic plasma wave, but as a permanent, high-tension material "cosmic scar" etched into the substrate during a post-inflationary crystalline phase transition. Over cosmic time, continuous resonant expansion waves drive the lateral migration of matter knots, forcing their underbelly anchors to pool inside this high-tension scar tissue.
We demonstrate that this extreme clustering causes the anchors to breach a rigid 2D exclusion compaction limit, triggering a non-linear metric stiffening of the local fluid fabric. By evaluating the acoustic phase velocity (\(v_s = c\)) through this uneven matrix, we provide a purely material resolution to the Hubble Tension crisis. Early-universe CMB measurements (≈ 67.4 km/s/Mpc) capture wave propagation through a pristine, uncrowded medium, while local distance-ladder measurements (≈ 73.0 km/s/Mpc) capture accelerated phase velocity through our stiffened, anchor-compacted galactic neighborhood. We mathematically isolate this 5.6 km/s/Mpc discrepancy as a literal material stiffness delta (\(\Delta \lambda = 786.24 \cdot \rho_{\text{sub}}\)).
Concurrently, we resolve the cosmological constant problem by deriving global cosmic expansion as an emergent thermodynamic byproduct of information processing. Applying Landauer’s Principle to the global Future Causal Horizon boundary screen, we prove that the mandatory energy dissipation of erasing obsolete bulk microstates yields a constant, negative vacuum pressure parameter of exactly \(\Omega_{\Lambda} = \ln 2 \approx 0.6931\) without free parameters. Finally, we establish explicit, testable empirical falsification metrics—including spatial H₀ gradients across cosmic voids and non-linear time dilation curves at z > 10 using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—to experimentally validate this framework over standard ΛCDM models.
