The Dark-Matter Effect as Large-Scale Field Organization within the Framework of the Universal Quantum Foam Hypothesis (UQSH)

This preprint presents an alternative interpretation of the dark-matter effect within the framework of the Universal Quantum Foam Hypothesis (UQSH). The central idea is that the additional gravitational effects observed in galaxies and galaxy clusters do not necessarily arise from an additional particle component, but may be understood as consequences of large-scale, persistent field organization of physical space itself. The paper formulates a conceptual and minimal field-mechanical framework and discusses possible connections to rotation curves, gravitational lensing, the baryonic Tully–Fisher relation, saturation effects, and large-scale cosmological structure.
