Key Points

  • The aim is to demonstrate how the Geometric Relay Theory captures structural information in disk galaxies, enhancing our understanding of gravitational dynamics beyond existing models.
  • Analyzed flat rotation curves of 86 galaxies from the SPARC database.
  • Improvements in the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation were quantified using statistical tests (σ, ΔAIC, F-test).
  • Investigated correlations in Radial Acceleration Relation residuals and performed intra-galaxy permutation tests for robustness.
  • Assessed rotation curves on a galaxy-by-galaxy basis to determine correlations and structural coefficients.
  • Global improvement in the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation with a notable reduction in σ and significant F-test p-value.
  • Identification of a robust local imprint in Radial Acceleration Relation residuals via baryonic shear curvature.
  • Successful correlation of rotation curves in 78% of galaxies, with a median Pearson correlation of +0.47.
  • Structural coefficient stability across various galaxy subpopulations, indicating consistent gravitational dynamics.

Abstract

We present four independent levels of evidence that the Geometric Relay Theory (GRT), built on Minazzoli's Entangled Relativity (ER), captures structural information in disk galaxies beyond the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation (BTFR). The key variable is the mass-weighted baryonic shear roughness ⟨S_Ω⟩b, which measures the departure from gravitational homeostasis. On a clean SPARC ring of 86 galaxies with verified flat rotation curves, we find: (1) A global BTFR improvement (σ: 0. 065 → 0. 062 dex, ΔAIC = −6, F-test p = 0. 006) ; (2) A local imprint in the Radial Acceleration Relation residuals, with the baryonic shear curvature cb as the most robust survivor after hardening (partial correlations, intra-galaxy permutation placebo) ; (3) A galaxy-by-galaxy reading of rotation curves (qb correlates in the correct sign for 78% of galaxies, median Pearson +0. 47) ; (4) Universality across subpopulations: the structural coefficient b remains positive and stable in 0. 04, 0. 06 under random splits, mass splits, LSB/HSB splits, and permutation placebo (6/1000). The structural exponent is positive: more structured disks rotate faster. The geometric relay amplifies the gravitational response in proportion to the kinematic organization of the baryonic disk. A galaxy is not a simple mass — it is a structural charge.
