Rapid Growth of Early-Universe Supermassive Black Holes: A Spacetime Ladder Theory Explanation of JWST Observations via Dark Matter Polarization Vortex Collapse

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of 10⁸–10⁹ M☉ at redshifts z > 10, far exceeding the growth timescales achievable by standard ΛCDM models through Pop III stellar remnant seeds and Eddington-limited accretion. Conventional mechanisms such as direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) or super-Eddington accretion require significant parameter fine-tuning and lack a unified microphysical foundation. Within the Spacetime Ladder Theory (STLT) framework, this paper proposes that the high dark matter density (ρ_DM) of the early universe amplifies the Qi field Q, causing the v × Q term in the core dynamical equation F = m(E + v × Q) to generate a strong “dark vortex” force. This force provides additional radial convergence, driving gas clouds to collapse directly into heavy-seed black holes (~10⁵–10⁶ M☉) with collapse times shortened to 10. STLT provides a unified explanation for JWST’s Little Red Dots (LRDs) as the “cocoon phase” of young SMBHs, the observed oversized BH-to-host-galaxy mass ratios, and low-metallicity systems. The model requires zero free parameters (Q strength is self-consistently determined by the polarization scalar field Ω) and predicts that future JWST/ALMA observations at z~12–15 should detect “vortex signature” spiral structures.
