Space-Phase Saturation and Galactic Rotation: The Tablecloth Analogy Applied to the Milky Way in the SP3 Framework

In the Space-Phase (SP3) framework, space is treated as a phase-bearing medium capableof conditioning, saturation, memory, and long-term structural bias. When applied to theMilky Way Galaxy, SP3 predicts that the long-lived presence of a central black holeprogressively saturates surrounding space-phases, altering which large-scale motionsremain dynamically permitted. This paper develops the “tablecloth analogy” to explain howgalactic rotation arises naturally as the lowest-cost pathway through a memory-bearingmedium. Rotation is shown to emerge not from an imposed inward influence, but from theprogressive withdrawal of non-azimuthal motion channels as space-phase saturationincreases toward the galactic center. The analogy provides a coherent interpretation of flatrotation curves and large-scale coherence without invoking additional unseencomponents.
