Resonance-Based Gravity in the Hawkins Omniversal Theory: A Prior Prediction and Post-Validation of DESI's Observed Weakening of Dark Energy

This publication presents a theoretical interpretation of the March 2025 DESI findings through the lens of the Hawkins Omniversal Theory (HOT), a resonance-based reformulation of gravitational physics. The DESI collaboration’s results indicate a statistically significant reduction in the influence of dark energy over time, a finding that diverges from the predictions of the ΛCDM model.

This paper demonstrates that HOT—formally introduced in two earlier publications, February 2025 (DOIs: 10.5281/zenodo.14947489 and 10.5281/zenodo.14948118), predicted this behavior by modeling gravity as an emergent phenomenon governed by vibrational coherence, informational field structure, and time-dependent resonance scaling. The original HOT gravitational field equation, published prior to the DESI announcement, replaces the fixed cosmological constant with dynamic terms that evolve naturally across cosmological time, resulting in a framework that anticipates the observed attenuation of cosmic acceleration.

In March 2025, the gravitational formulation within HOT was further refined to include a fully covariant tensor structure that formalizes earlier scalar and semi-tensorial components. This updated equation—published as part of Gravitational Resonance and Informational Curvature in the Hawkins Omniversal Theory (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15086468) introduced additional terms capturing fractal harmonic corrections and extra-dimensional coupling, while preserving the core predictive features from the original HOT-modified equation. Although this elaboration improved the formal rigor and extended the theory’s explanatory reach, the original resonance-based structure and predictions regarding dark energy attenuation—based on coherence decay and resonance-scaling—were already published prior to DESI’s March 2025 announcement.

Key contributions of this work include:

• A synthesis of HOT’s resonance-modified Einstein field equation with DESI's redshift-dependent measurements of H(z) and the dark energy equation-of-state parameter w(z).

• A redshift-dependent mechanism derived from the decay of scalar resonance fields and coherence-adjusted time t', explaining the observed deviation from constant-Lambda (Λ) models.

• A step-by-step linkage between HOT's exponential modulation of stress-energy and the effective attenuation of gravitational curvature over time.

• Predictions for future observational tests that distinguish HOT from Lambda-CDM (ΛCDM) and scalar field alternatives, including structure growth suppression, lensing variations, and deviations in the matter power spectrum.

• A comparative table highlighting key theoretical and observational distinctions between HOT and ΛCDM.

This publication builds upon earlier HOT work while restricting all predictive claims to content published prior to DESI’s March 2025 announcement. It serves both as a scientific response to DESI and as an opportunity to test the falsifiability and explanatory power of HOT’s resonance-based gravitational model.

This document serves as an initial public release, providing structured notes and explanations of the Resonance-Based Gravity in the  Hawkins Omniversal Theory. While it is not yet formatted as a formal preprint, it ensures the immediate availability of HOT’s core advancements for scientific review and discussion. A full preprint, Resonance-Based Gravity in the  Hawkins Omniversal Theory:  A Prior Prediction and Post-Validation of  DESI's Observed Weakening of Dark Energy, will be published separately, incorporating a fully structured presentation and formal references. The absence of citations in this release reflects the preliminary nature of the document, with comprehensive sourcing and academic integration to be included in future publications.
