Theory of the Locally Relative Expansion Unit (LRAE)

Version 1.8 of the LRAE consolidates previous hypotheses (emergent extension, structural dark-matter alternative, gravitational suppression) and complements them with a numerical-analytical consistency analysis in a Symmetron-like screening regime.The scalar extension field ϵ(xμ)\epsilon(x^\mu)ϵ(xμ) is effectively suppressed in dense regions (thin-shell behavior), ensuring compliance with precision tests (atomic clocks, PPN constraints). Numerical results (stable stationary profiles, relaxation dynamics, parameter scans, screening diagnostics, PPN estimates) confirm a non-trivial, stably screened parameter window.The resulting effects (cosmic extension as structural integral, gravitational suppression in extreme fields, context-dependent stabilization) are presented within a consistent structural framework. Version 1.8 represents a decisive step toward an empirically viable and formally coherent structural theory.
