Dark Matter as Topologically Protected Magnetic Architecture (JWST-Testable)

The Wilcox Scaffold Hypothesis (WSH) reframes dark matter as a topologically protected magnetic architecture, rather than an undiscovered particle species. By introducing the Wilcox Coupling Constant (κ) to quantify magnetic information density (MID), WSH proposes that cosmic magnetism — not exotic matter — sculpts gravitational behavior at galactic and intergalactic scales. The framework predicts measurable Faraday rotation signatures and gravitational lensing patterns, offering falsifiable, near-term tests via JWST and SKA. If validated, WSH will redefine cosmology’s foundation, positioning magnetic information as the hidden architect of cosmic structure.
