Evidence map
This page connects major Dark Matter Drive concepts to claim status, source type, validation state, and related pages so the site remains clear about what is background, what is visual simulation, and what still needs validation.
How to read this map
The evidence map is a navigation and transparency layer. It points readers toward the right pages and explains the trust status of recurring concepts.
The evidence map does not claim that every concept is proven. It shows what the site says, what kind of source supports the presentation, which claim-status level applies, and where to keep reading.
Use this together with the Claim Status page and the Research Library when evaluating stronger or weaker claims.
Mapped concepts
Each card links a concept to the closest claim-status label, source type, validation state, and related routes.
site-hypothesis
The site intentionally defines Dark Matter Drive as an experimental physics-inspired simulation and research presentation project, distinct from unrelated dark-matter brands and media.
established-background
The site may reference dark matter as an astrophysical inference, but that does not validate the speculative drive mechanism.
visual-simulation
The EIT ramscoop pages visualize an intake concept and related density-field ideas for explanation and exploration.
speculative-engineering
The ramjet and propulsion pages organize an imagined intake, compression, containment, and exhaust sequence for the fictional/conceptual drive.
needs-validation
Massive-photon exhaust language is part of the project model and should not be read as a verified propulsion mechanism.
public explainer / metrology hypothesis
The page explains why the framework prefers parsec, parallax, arcsecond, proper-motion, and gravitational-wave baseline language over lightyears as the primary distance primitive.
public contract / simulator integration requirement
The contract describes how parsec-native distance telemetry should be represented for public pages, JSON endpoints, simulator exports, and review artifacts.
conceptual kernel / simulator contract / needs validation
The kernel organizes distance, relational chronology, gravitational-wave baselines, photon-lane residuals, validation outputs, and export expectations into a reviewable conceptual contract.
site-hypothesis / simulator metrology / needs validation
The report strengthens the ArcSecs measurement stack around parsec/parallax geometry, proper motion, parsecs per million years, square parsec surface density, cubic parsec/megaparsec/gigaparsec scale mapping, and the demotion of lightyears to optical telemetry.
site-hypothesis / simulator architecture / needs validation
The report reinforces distance without lightyears, time without local clocks, gravitational-wave baselines, photon-lane residuals, GW170817 calibration, GW150914 caution, GW190521 environment handling, supernova stretch, Hubble residuals, and TypeScript/ECS implementation discipline.
site-hypothesis / simulator architecture / needs validation
The report strengthens the ArcSecs perspective around Teleparallel/TEGR torsion gravity, massive Proca photons, vacuum dispersion, Mass-Polariton momentum transfer, tired-light kinetic degradation, graviball/slow-quanta dark-substrate ideas, CCC+TL cosmology, dark-state-polariton analogies, and Dark Matter Drive ramscoop/vortex architecture.
site-hypothesis / simulator contract / needs validation
The Event Theater turns multi-messenger reference cases into simulator scenes with gravity baseline, photon lane, relational chronology lane, delay budgets, confidence gates, telemetry, exports, and falsification behavior.
site-hypothesis / needs validation
The model treats gravitational waves as a constant baseline while electromagnetic signals are interpreted through intrinsic source delay, environmental diffusion, and possible path-dependent velocity attenuation / energy degeneration.
visual-simulation
The research library organizes reports with metadata, routes, exports, and labels so readers can separate site-authored work from external publication status.
site-hypothesis / needs validation
The report models gravitational waves as a timing baseline and electromagnetic light as a path-dependent messenger with velocity attenuation and energy degeneration.
site-hypothesis / needs validation
The report argues for an ArcSecs/CCC+TL relational cosmology framing that rejects physical spacetime substantivalism and treats time dilation/redshift through light-slowing and energy-degeneration mechanisms.
site-hypothesis / needs validation
The report organizes distance without lightyears, universal clockless time, decoupled propagation, CCC+TL light slowing, massive-photon flat-space lensing, and localized covariance into one discrete relational framework.
Machine-readable index
The same concept map is exposed as JSON for AI agents, search tools, and future QA automation.
