“Gravity Without Geometry: A Finite‑Capacity Matrix Network Model of Galactic Halos, Binary Mergers and the CMB”
```html FCMFD: Exploratory Matrix‑Network Framework FCMFD: An Exploratory Matrix‑Network Framework for Gravitational Relaxation Version 1.1 — Public Release Based on numerical experiments in Google Colab using SPARC rotation curves, matrix network simulations, Planck CMB data and LIGO ringdown data. Abstract We present an exploratory mathematical framework termed Finite Coupled Monad Field Dynamics (FCMFD) – a coordinate‑free, non‑abelian matrix network model in which relaxation‑like behaviour emerges from a finite‑capacity dynamical system with fractional memory and amplitude saturation. No background spacetime geometry is assumed; instead, the state of the system is represented by a set of Hermitian operators M i (t) coupled via an adjacency matrix W ij . Network interaction amplitudes propagate through commutator terms [M i , M j ]; memory is implemented via a Grünwald‑Letnikov‑inspired fractional time derivative; saturation is enforced by spectra...
