Description

The nature of dark matter remains unknown after four decades of increasingly sensitive

searches. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are excluded over most of their

natural parameter space; axions remain undetected; the conventional smoothhalo picture is

demonstrably wrong at the scale of our own solar neighborhood. We present the neutral

chaoiton — a stable, timeperiodic, localized l=1 soliton of the Ouroboros Lagrangian as

a concrete, falsifiable dark matter candidate requiring no new free parameters. The model also

predicts Jfield wave components of light mass and bosonic character, behaving like photons;

the empirical data point to a mix of both aspects. The Ouroboros Lagrangian (Werbos 2026,

Paper I) is a superrenormalizable classical field theory whose soliton solutions follow from the

classical equations of motion, independently of the quantization. The neutral chaoiton has mass

m_χ = 0.460 MeV and Jfield mediator mass m_J = 0.618MeV. Its l=1 angular structure

forces the zeromomentum electromagnetic coupling to vanish by an exact angularmomentum

selection rule; the leading dipole interaction gives a chaoiton–proton crosssection

σ_p = 9×10⁻⁴¹ cm², eleven orders of magnitude below LZ CRBDM limits. The selfinteraction

is likewise dipolesuppressed to 10⁻⁶ cm²/g, compatible with the Bullet Cluster bound, so

chaoitons can constitute 100 % of dark matter. The twocomponent picture (chaoitons + Jfield

waves) remains a physically natural possibility whose local manifestation can be probed by the

sixpeak annual modulation from Gaia Dark Shards, providing a falsifiable signature for a

dedicated Jfield sensor.
