Energy Filament Theory (EFT) Z07: Dark Pedestal — STG/TBN and the Statistical Layer of "Noise Before Force"

EFT-Z07 introduces the “Dark Pedestal” as a citable statistical layer in the public edition of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). It attributes dark-matter-like appearance and an elevated background noise floor to the same source: a large population of short-lived filament-state attempts (Generalized Unstable Particles, GUP) repeatedly appearing and dissolving via a pull–spread cycle. The persistence-phase pull statistically sculpts an extra slope surface (Statistical Tension Gravity, STG), while the breakdown/refill-phase spread lifts a broadband, low-coherence fluctuation floor (Tension Background Noise, TBN). Z07 states three joint fingerprints—noise first, force later; alignment in space; and a reversible path—and explains interfaces to rotation curves, lensing/time delays, and cluster statistics. Cross-module falsification and fair-fitting protocols are defined in EFT-Z13.
