VEQF Interpretation of Quasar-CMB Dipole Misalignment_ EDG-Driven Cosmic Anisotropy Rev1

This study interprets recent observations of dipole anisotropy in quasar redshift distribution through the Vacuum Energy Quanta Field (VEQF) framework. We argue that the misalignment between quasar and CMB dipoles arises from Energy Density Gradients (EDGs) in the local cosmic topology, challenging the Cosmological Principle (CP). The Milky Way's position on a diagonal line connecting the Local Void, Galactic Center, Laniakea Supercluster, and Shapley Supercluster supports EDG-driven flows. Three testable predictions are proposed, with Prediction 2 revised to account for observational bias: while EDG-induced blueshift toward structures creates the dipole signal, low-redshift quasars are more readily detected in the void direction due to reduced obscuration. This dual mechanism—physical wavelength shift plus line-of-sight clarity—fully explains the data without ΛCDM assumptions.
