The Filament Pathway: A Geometric Resolution of Cosmic Darkness

The standard ΛCDM model faces a mounting crisis of complexity, requiring disparate and often fine-tuned components to explain the "dark" sector of our universe. The Filament Pathway Theory (FPT) presented in this manuscript offers a minimalist and mathematically cohesive alternative. By extending General Relativity into the Einstein-Cartan framework, this theory demonstrates that Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and the Matter-Antimatter asymmetry are not independent mysteries, but emergent properties of spacetime torsion and the geometric architecture of the cosmic web. Through the lens of FPT, Dark Energy is identified as the average elastic energy of cosmic filaments. The derived density (ρ_Λ ≈ 2.7 × 10⁻⁴⁷ GeV⁴) and the Dark-to-Baryonic matter ratio (Ω_DM/Ω_BM ≈ 5.33) align with Planck satellite observations within 1σ, using only two fundamental parameters. Furthermore, the theory provides a mechanism for matter-antimatter segregation that preserves CPT symmetry through topological isolation. While FPT provides a rigorous resolution to the "Darkness" of the observable cosmos, it points toward a staggering conclusion regarding our local environment. The immense stiffness of the cosmic fabric ensures a "topological screening" that protects our Solar System from these torsional forces. However, this screening is not infinite. As our reach extends toward the 10³ AU boundary, we may find that our current understanding of physics is merely a local exception—and that the true nature of the vacuum waiting outside our bubble is far more active than we ever dared to imagine.
