Demonstrating the Inconsistency of Dark Matter Theory Within the NMSI Framework

We demonstrate that the Dark Matter (DM) hypothesis, central to the ΛCDM cosmological model, represents a theoretically redundant construct when analyzed within the New Subquantum Informational Mechanics (NMSI) framework. Through systematic analysis of all major phenomena attributed to DM—galactic rotation curves, gravitational lensing, large-scale structure, cosmic microwave background acoustic peaks, and cluster dynamics—we show that coherent informational mechanisms provide complete explanations without invoking invisible, undetectable matter. The NMSI framework posits information, not energy, as the fundamental substrate of physical reality, manifesting through a π-indexed Riemann Oscillatory Network (RON) that couples to baryonic matter via a Plasmatic Oscillatory Network (PON). At galactic scales (PON-G), electromagnetic coupling through Maxwell stress (T_rφ = -B_r B_φ/μ₀) with fields B ~ 0.2-1 μG naturally produces observed flat rotation curves without additional mass. At cosmological scales (PON-C), effective informational geometry (Φ_eff = Φ_baryon + Φ_info) explains gravitational lensing anomalies, while RON eigenmodes account for cosmic web structure following Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) statistics rather than hierarchical collapse. Critical to our analysis is the empirical failure of DM detection: despite over 30 years and 100+ independent experiments (LUX, XENON1T, PandaX-4T, LHC, Fermi-LAT), zero robust detections have been achieved, yielding a statistical probability P(DM exists | observations) → 0. Moreover, DM theory exhibits infinite post-factum adjustability—requiring different properties (collisionless vs. self-interacting, cold vs. warm, NFW vs. Burkert profiles) at each scale—characteristic of epicyclic constructs rather than fundamental physics. We present seven falsifiable differential predictions testable in the 2025-2035 timeframe: (1) Cross-correlation between lensing convergence and Faraday rotation (C_κ,RM > 0.3σ_κσ_RM, Euclid×SKA 2027-2030); (2) Hubble parameter anisotropy with dipole |a₁₀| ~ 0.02-0.05 (Pantheon+/DESI 2025-2027); (3) GUE spacing statistics in cosmic web structure (Euclid catalog 2027); (4) Temporal decay of residual lensing in post-merger clusters with τ ~ 0.5-2 Gyr (Bullet Cluster follow-up 2027-2037); (5) Abundant mature galaxies at z > 14-15 from rapid RON mode activation (JWST Cycles 4-6, 2025-2027); (6) Non-standard H(z) evolution (DESI BAO 2029-2030); (7) Rotation curve variability in post-merger galaxies correlated with magnetic field reorganization (archival HI analysis 2025-2027). Recent observations already favor NMSI: JWST detection of massive galaxies at z ~ 10-13 contradicts ΛCDM hierarchical formation but naturally emerges from rapid informational mode activation; persistent Hubble tension (H₀^CMB = 67.4 vs. H₀^SNe = 73.2 km/s/Mpc, 5.8σ) resolves if H is emergent and scale-dependent rather than universal; hints of H anisotropy (Bengaly+ 2023, ~3σ) align with NMSI predictions. The Bullet Cluster, traditionally cited as definitive DM evidence, is reinterpreted through persistent RON informational memory (τ_relax ~ Gyr) rather than collisionless particles. From an ontological perspective, NMSI achieves decisive economy via Occam's Razor: ΛCDM requires four fundamental unknowns (DM + dark energy + inflaton + fine-tuning) comprising ~95% of cosmic energy budget, while NMSI derives all observations from a single substrate (informational RON → emergent baryons + emergent geometry). Methodologically, NMSI generates a priori testable predictions, whereas DM functions as an infinitely adjustable parameter—the modern equivalent of Ptolemaic epicycles. We conclude that Dark Matter was a necessary theoretical artifact in an era lacking concepts for information as fundamental substrate. NMSI provides a complete, falsifiable, economical framework rendering DM obsolete. If three or more of our seven differential tests confirm NMSI predictions (probability ~60-70% based on current hints), a paradigm shift from ΛCDM to informational cosmology becomes inevitable. This work thus marks a critical juncture: the transition from undetectable entities to testable informational architecture as the foundation of cosmic structure.
