V67R2: From Conservation × C to Black Holes, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy

We derive black holes (BH), dark matter (DM), and dark energy (DE) from a unified conservation backbone and the triple role of the speed of light C. Mass is reinterpreted as a C² repayment structure: existence requires continuous payment at the rate E = mC² per unit proper time. At a black hole, this repayment halts (ν₀ → 0), and mass becomes operationally undefinable. Dark matter effects emerge from spatially inhomogeneous update rates, while dark energy corresponds to the background ν-floor driving cosmic acceleration. The framework establishes C as: (1) synchronizer—the universal clock standard; (2) causal limit—the upper bound on information propagation; and (3) exchange rate—the time–energy conversion factor. This structural derivation requires no new particles or modifications to general relativity, only a reinterpretation of the operational meaning of conservation laws in a finite-update universe.
