A Structural-Theoretical Revision of Dark Matter – An Explanation Without Invisible Mass in the LRAE Framework

This work provides a structural-theoretical revision of the classical dark matter concept. Instead of assuming invisible mass, the Theory of Local Relative Expansion (LRAE) interprets observed anomalies (galactic rotation curves, gravitational lensing, cluster dynamics) as consequences of a locally varying expansion field $\epsilon(x^\mu)$ and time-structured fields.Version 1.2 includes: Introduction of a Symmetron-like modeling of the expansion field with density-dependent screening, numerical validation (atomic clock constraints, PPN bounds, thin-shell condition), a refined formal theorem eliminating the need for non-baryonic matter. The paper replaces the matter-based hypothesis with a dynamic structural modulation and reinterprets the dark matter phenomenon as a methodological artifact of geometric-reductionist models.
