HIQF Closure for Spiral-Galaxy Rotation Curves: Extended SPARC Validation on 95 Galaxies (2717 Points)
Abstract
This preprint tests a Holistic Informational Quantum Field (HIQF) closure for spiral-galaxy rotation curves using public SPARC data. Instead of attributing flat outer rotation curves to unseen halo mass, HIQF models the dynamics as baryonic acceleration plus an emergent effective term interpreted as informational pressure and topological gradients of the HIQF network. We fit a global HIQF(base) model and compare it to a standard MOND baseline across 95 galaxies (2717 points), reporting pooled and per-galaxy RMS metrics and paired nonparametric significance tests. An exploratory “topo-lite” modulation is also evaluated; its incremental gain is not statistically significant in this form, motivating more informative topology observables.
