Perspectives on Galactic Evolution at z ≃ 4: A Convergent Interpretation between the RZS Framework and the JWST EXCELS Survey Data
Abstract
This essay proposes an alternative interpretive lens for the spectroscopic results of the JWST EXCELS survey. We investigate the notable numerical symmetry between the observed mass-age relationship slope and the fundamental relational parameter α = 1.5 of the Relational Zero State (RZS) framework. Rather than proposing a replacement for the standard model, this work seeks to establish the plausibility of a relational approach as a complement to understanding galactic evolution at high redshifts.
