TSO:Dark Matter as Frozen Time–Space Oscillation States

Description

We propose a novel framework in which dark matter arises not from new particles but as frozen temporal oscillation modes embedded within an oscillatory time–space vacuum. These time-dominant eigenmodes induce phase-gradient curvature, reproducing galactic rotation curves, gravitational lensing, and large-scale structure growth, while remaining consistent with null results in direct detection experiments. The TSO approach offers a falsifiable, observationally grounded alternative to ΛCDM and WIMP-based models.

For readers new to the Time–Space Oscillation framework, a structured overview of the four foundational TSO conceptual papers is available in “Time Space Oscillations. Introduction papers” (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1767154). This companion document summarises the core principles of TSO —TSO concept, Time dilation and Gravity equivalence, TSO & EM, TSO & QM—and provides direct links to the full manuscripts. It serves as the recommended starting point for understanding how the present photon model fits into the broader TSO structure.
