EDG-Based Light Convergence and Divergence in VEQF (Evidence Presented)

In the Vacuum Energy Quanta Field (VEQF) framework, Energy Density Gradients(EDGs) drive light convergence around masses (inward deflection) and divergence fromvoids (outward "push"). This paper derives unified equations for both, showingconvergence in dense regions and divergence in underdense voids, without spacetimecurvature. Simulations demonstrate chromatic effects, with shorter wavelengths divergingmore in voids. We bridge VEQF to General Relativity (GR), showing observationalcompatibility (e.g., deflection scales) but interpretive difference (EDGs as thermodynamicadvantage vs. geometry). Empirical support from BAO, BOSS, and DES surveys—detecting negative convergence in voids at high significance (up to 6.6σ)—providestheoretical proof of EDGs. Predictions include enhanced void shear (~10% excess) andtestable chromatic offsets (~100 μas), offering falsifiable paths for VEQF validation.
