Bullet Cluster lensing from Baryons alone and 4 others explained without Dark Matter from a New Theory of the Universe.

This paper applies Temporal Congestion Mechanics to the Bullet Cluster’s resolved four-source configuration. The framework replaces empty space with a physical fabric whose congestion index n(x, t) is the sole dynamical field; gravitation is the spatial mediation of time through this fabric. The cluster-scale lensing regime is governed by a non-linear constitutive law that activates below a universal stiffness threshold g₀, producing a 1/r far-field attractor in place of the 1/r² Newtonian falloff. That far field is the structural origin of the slope-4 baryonic Tully–Fisher relation, the universal asymptotic rotation velocity, and the cluster-scale gravitational structure addressed here. Applied to the cluster’s JWST-resolved baryon census, direct numerical evaluation of the exact multi-source Ψ-flux closure returns aperture masses consistent with unity at both brightest-cluster-galaxy apertures — ratios 1.08 ± 0.12 and 1.01 ± 0.08 — and the lensing–gas offset emerges structurally from the compact-versus-diffuse asymmetry of the field gradients, with no separation of collisionless and collisional species invoked. A five-cluster programme spanning an order of magnitude in baryonic mass, four morphologies and redshifts 0.18–0.87 is matched within ratio 0.72–1.27 with no parameter adjusted between systems. Nothing is fitted: the only astrophysical input at any cluster is its independently measured baryonic mass distribution. Five position-locked observables are computed and staked for falsification on the Bullet system itself: a 40–48% apparent-mass deficit along the inter-cluster corridor relative to any per-halo reconstruction, golden rings of 27.2% phantom excess at x = −660 and +610 kpc on the collision axis, plane-polarised saddle-line shear, a saddle gas-pressure plateau, and a sightline member-velocity asymmetry of 33–60 km s⁻¹. The edition also carries the framework’s threshold-radius account of its own frozen allocation: both apertures lie inside r_K ≈ 470 kpc, where the fabric is stiff and no congestion is delivered, so every number above is a bare-baryon number — while the same threshold, computed from the same census with nothing adjusted, carries the elevated effective acceleration scale read in the stacked cluster relation at larger radii.
