Dark Energy Equation of State Derived from One Axiom (Confluence v1.3)
Abstract
Specific, falsifiable predictions for the dark energy equation of state w(z) derived from one axiom with zero free parameters. The equation w(z) = -1 + (2/3) f_growth(z) a(z) produces w_0 = -0.647 at z = 0, within 0.46 sigma of DESI DR1 (w_0 = -0.55 +/- 0.21). LCDM (w = -1) sits 2.14 sigma from DESI. The coefficient 2/3 is derived as the ratio of the Born rule cross-term coefficient (2) to the Friedmann spatial pairwise count R(3) = 3. Predictions at 10 redshift values from z = 0 to z = 2.0 are placed on record before DESI DR2. The framework predicts a unique testable relationship: (1+w) must track (2/3) x f_growth x a at all redshifts. No other theory in physics predicts this specific correlation between dark energy evolution and the growth rate. Filed as a timestamped prediction.
