Renewal Dust: A Quantum Traction Theory Mechanism

A source-side account of the cluster mass residual Version: 2.3 Concept DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20071244 Author: Ali Attar Website: quantumtraction.org Main book anchor: Quantum Traction Theory: Main Book v10.01 This paper isolates Renewal Dust as a QTT mechanism for the cosmological mass residual. The point is not to rename dark matter. It separates ordinary baryonic gas, homogeneous vacuum closure, the MOND-like acceleration knee, and a renewal-source residual into different ledger rows. The residual identity is \[ \Omega_{\mathrm{RD}} = \Omega_m^{\mathrm{obs}}-\Omega_b^{\mathrm{lab}}. \] In the Planck-window audit used by the paper this gives the quoted residual scale \[ \Omega_{\mathrm{RD}}\simeq0.2655 . \] The source-law distinction is that shock heating rearranges existing gas, while Renewal Dust counts irreversible source-side renewal events. Gas rest mass is not used as a hidden fitting reservoir. Status: QTT-RENEWAL-DUST-MECHANISM-CANDIDATE-SOURCE-LAW-DECLARED QTT-OMEGA-RD-RESIDUAL-IDENTITY-POPULATED CLUSTER-LENSING-ACCESS-TESTS-SEPARATE
