A Temporally Stratified Multi-Brane Cosmology in 11D Bulk M-Theory: A Unified Solution to Modern Cosmological Tensions

This paper introduces an 11-dimensional multi-brane cyclic cosmology framework that treats Dark Matter and Dark Energy as a unified geometric mechanism. Developed as a phenomenological toy model, it provides structural geometric mechanisms to address the 5-sigma Hubble tension, JWST early galaxy maturity anomalies, and dynamic dark energy decay. Notably, the model resolves the historic Tolman entropy paradox via a Planck-scale Quantum Reverse Phase Transition, utilizing an uncompactified higher-dimensional bulk as a sustainable thermodynamic filter. Crucially, the framework establishes five definitive, nonnegotiable avenues for empirical falsification using active datasets from DESI, Euclid, Rubin, and terrestrial dark matter detection networks. Concluding with a formal call for field tensor derivations, this open-access preprint serves as an actionable foundational blueprint for subsequent action integral development, mathematical formalization, and numerical cosmic simulations.
