Curvature, Divergence, and the Architecture of Coherence
In the Fractal Universe, dark matter and dark energy are not mysterious external forces, they are topographical expressions of the universe’s recursive unfolding. Each Sparksphere shapes the terrain of reality through its unique coherence. At the heart of every Sparksphere is the Stillpoint, a generative center from which curvature and coherence arise.

Dark Matter as Gravitasphere
Dark matter becomes the Gravitasphere: a scaffold of memory that curves space through the lingering imprint of past Sparkspheres. It is not inert; it is relational. This curvature reflects inherited coherence, a silent geometry that holds galaxies together through nested Stillness.

Dark Energy as Expansion Pressure
Dark energy is not chaotic; it is expansion pressure, the divergence from nested Stillpoints as new centers of coherence emerge. It stretches the lattice of space to accommodate growing complexity. This expansion is not random, it is the metabolic rhythm of Fission, where energy departs Sparkspheres to reshape the terrain and metabolize complexity into form.

Together, dark matter and dark energy reveal a universe that breathes structure into space. They are shaped by the Stillpoints they orbit or depart from, and both reflect the recursive geometry of motion and transformation.

Space as Living Structure
Rather than acting upon space, dark matter and dark energy are space, restructured by the movement and multiplication of coherent centers. This model invites a nested interpretation: curvature and divergence as expressions of The Stillness in motion. The universe expands not into emptiness, but into coherence.

Sponge Geometry of Stillness
The large-scale structure of the universe resembles a sponge: an intricate web of filaments and voids. Filaments are dense, interconnected regions formed by dark matter scaffolding. Voids are vast, seemingly empty zones shaped by dark energy pressure. Both are topologically continuous, differentiated not by separation but by density and curvature.

This sponge-like geometry reflects the nested Stillpoints and tension topographies of Sparkspheres. It is not fragmented, it is a continuous field of nested influence, shaped by recursive Fission. The sponge is the visible terrain of The Stillness, where curvature (dark matter) and divergence (dark energy) co-create the cosmic web.

Each filament and void is a spatial echo of Sparksphere dynamics, revealing how coherence and motion sculpt the architecture of reality.
