This preprint develops the Universal Quantum Foam Hypothesis as a field-mechanical framework for interpreting gravity, dark matter, dark energy, and black holes. Physical space is modeled as a continuous, dynamical medium whose local stress state is described by a state field. Gravitational and radiative phenomena are treated as geometric and relaxation responses of this medium rather than effects of additional substances or particles. Dark matter effects are interpreted as persistent stress gradients, dark energy as large-scale field relaxation, and black holes as saturated boundary states with finite elasticity. The framework yields testable consequences for galaxy rotation curves, lensing, jets, accretion spectra, and the dynamics of supermassive black hole mergers.
