Emergent Causality and Unaligned Geometry: A Coherence-Based Framework

We present a coherence-based framework in which causality emerges as a phase-ordered regime of an underlying geometric substrate. The theory unifies cosmic inflation, dark matter phenomenology, black hole structure, quantum measurement, and information-theoretic constraints within a single emergent-causality architecture. The framework reproduces standard ΛCDM background cosmology and linear CMB power spectra while predicting distinctive higher-order signatures, coherence-gated dark matter halo structure, modified inner-halo dynamics, and universal oscillatory features in primordial perturbations. This work emphasizes falsifiable predictions, analytic closures, and observational consistency tests across cosmology and astrophysics. We further show that holographic information bounds emerge dynamically from coherence-field energetics and topological defect structure, yielding boundary-dominated information storage as a consequence rather than a postulate.
