This paper presents a structural model of the universe in which the fundamental substrate is a network of qubit-sized patches forming a nonlocal entanglement domain (E-domain). Local spacetime (S-domain) emerges as a coarse-grained description of this structure. Matter in the S-domain is anchored to extended "mats" in the E-domain, and tension within these mats encodes both gravity and dark energy. A central result is that force arises from gradients of tension at the boundaries of these mats, replacing both Newtonian action-at-a-distance and Einsteinian curvature with a unified structural mechanism.Using a qubit-based natural unit system, Newton’s gravitational constant G is derived from the structural scale of the qubit network. This derivation does not assume G=1; instead, G emerges from the qubit patch size. When expressed in SI units, the result matches the measured value G ≈ 6.674 × 10u207b¹¹ m³ kgu207b¹ su207b². Since G is derived from first principles, it is not fundamental, rather structure is fundamental.This framework naturally explains galactic rotation curves without dark matter, interprets the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as the thermal imprint of qubit-patch freeze-out , and identifies the cosmic web as the large-scale geometry of mat boundaries. The Big Bang is reinterpreted as a rapid phase transition in which the qubit patch network crystallized into its present configuration. The theory is guided by two principles: simplicity and elegance.

The LambdaCDM model confronts two increasingly significant observational conflicts: the Hubble constant H0 tension (+8.3%, >5 sigma) and the S8 tension (-8.4%, ~3 sigma). The near-identical absolute magnitudes and opposite signs of these deviations suggest a common kinematic origin rather than modifications to the cosmic energy budget. We propose a phenomenological framework in which physical proper time tau is an emergent order parameter of energy flux from higher dimensions into the 3-dimensional observable space, satisfying d tau = a(t)^{-1} d t. This yields a proper-time rate gamma(z) = d tau/dt = 1+z. Introducing a single empirical parameter Q calibrated by the observed H0 tension, the model yields an effective late-time factor gamma_late ≃ 1.083, from which the S8 tension and f sigma8 suppression follow with no additional free parameters, driven by a dynamical competition between the constant thrust from Q and the standard LambdaCDM Hubble drag. The same time-flow mechanism naturally suppresses the growth of cosmic structure, giving S8_obs ≃ 0.772, in excellent agreement with weak lensing measurements. The Friedmann equations retain their standard geometric form; the acceleration driver is the injected free-energy flux rho_de rather than an ad hoc cosmological constant. The model distinguishes between instantaneous and cumulative cosmological observables, with time-dilation measurements remaining unchanged while integrated quantities such as H0, S8 and f sigma8 exhibit the observed ~8% shifts.

The standard Big Bang model predicts an initial singularity of infinite density, where generalrelativity breaks down. I propose the Finite Universal Energy-Mass Singularity (FUEMS)model, which replaces the infinite singularity with a finite total energy equal to the present day observable universe’s mass-energy content (≈ 1.4 × 1070 J). I postulate that spacetimepossesses an elastic limit—a maximum curvature Cmax—beyond which it cannot be compressed.When curvature approaches Cmax, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle generates a large quantum fluctuation, triggering a tunneling event. This changes the effective gravitational constant from attractive to repulsive (Geff < 0), producing a sudden quantum kick that creates space itself and initiates the Big Bang. The model explains dark energy as residual elastic relaxation and predicts that the universe will end in inertial disintegration, not heat death. The FUEMS model eliminates mathematical infinities, conserves total energy, and offers testable predictions for CMB observations.

Conditional on the validity of the Displacement Spacetime (DST) framework [8] — which is unverified and should be evaluated on the basis of its predictions — we show that the DST Lagrangian’s cross-coupling term ½gφ_r²|Φ_θ|² predicts a neutron star mass gap as a parameter-free consequence of density-dependent gravitational enhancement. In neutron star interiors, where superfluid phase coherence is macroscopic, the cross-coupling produces a cascade mechanism: compression forces more nucleons into each other’s displacement field range, strengthening the many-body coherent enhancement, which increases gravitational mass, driving further compression. We compute the enhancement scaling η(ρ) from 4,800 three-dimensional many-body overlap integrals on a 161³ grid across 240 parameter combinations (5 Yukawa ranges, 4 Gaussian widths, 3 lattice geometries including random liquid-like packing). The power-law exponent is 1.49 [95% CI: 1.45—1.53], giving total enhancement energy density ε_DST ∝ ρ^3.16, which decisively exceeds Fermi pressure (ρ^1.67) in 100% of tested cases. The strong coupling α_s is derived from SU(3) displacement geometry: α_s × ln(m_Pl/m_e) = 2π/ln(2πu2075), where the logarithmic entry of the manifold volume (vs linear for EM) is traced to the Faddeev-Popov ghost determinant in non-Abelian gauge theory. The bare formula gives α_s(m_Z) = 0.116 (1.6% accuracy); the universal self-referential correction 9/64 = (3/8)² — the same correction that resolves α, sin²θ_W, and δ_CP in [8] — closes the residual to 0.006%. The collapse threshold falls at M_DST ≈ 2.10 M☉ with zero tuned parameters, consistent with the heaviest confirmed neutron stars (PSR J0740+6620 at 2.08 ± 0.07 M☉). Mass gap objects — GW190814’s 2.59 M☉ secondary and the PSR J0514—4002E companion at 2.09—2.71 M☉ — sit above this threshold in the cascade/collapse region. The predicted tidal deformability anomaly grows from ~8% at 1.1 M☉ to ~375% at 2.1 M☉, providing a concrete target for third-generation gravitational wave detectors.
