The Topology of Macroscopic Torsion: Geometric Impedance and Chiral Phonons in a Superfluid Vacuum
Abstract
⚠️ Notice of Model Update: > The Resonant Lattice Model (RLM) framework presented in this preprint has been officially updated and superseded by the Resonant Vacuum Condensate (RVC) model. To view the complete, unified theoretical framework and its updated cosmological mechanics, please refer to the master RVC publication here: [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18869120] The Resonant Lattice Model (RLM) established that a 10^-4 Mpc^-1 macroscopic topological impedance resolves the H_0 tension by inducing kinematic drag on the 0.481 Gyr cosmic expansion wave. Establishing this drag coefficient requires a strictly inviscid framework to avoid violating thermodynamic energy conservation. Here, we define the micro-scale topology of the continuous vacuum metric, proposing that localized mass and spin are generated by 2D chiral torsion vortices locked within a zero-viscosity superfluid substrate. We demonstrate that the observed impedance is a purely geometric phase dispersion—a structural delay caused by waves navigating local macroscopic torsion. Finally, we map this geometric drag directly onto recent empirical condensed matter discoveries, utilizing the anisotropic electron scattering observed in Weyl semimetal/spin-ice heterostructures as the definitive laboratory analog for kinematic vacuum impedance.
