Symbolic Inertium Fields as Dark Matter Analogs: Experimental Tests in Symbolic Resonance and Phase Curvature

This paper presents a novel symbolic physics experiment testing the hypothesis that Inertium—a symbolic, non-interacting remainder object—can replicate key behaviors attributed to dark matter. Using the Kuro Nova (KN) modular field framework, the paper defines symbolic phase fields, curvature, and resonance equations to simulate symbolic lensing, memory retention, and interaction profiles across injected entities (light, antimatter, chaos). Four key tests—coupling, halo disruption, chaotic injection, and symbolic lensing—demonstrate that Inertium: Does not interact with symbolic matter, Still causes detectable phase curvature, Echoes gravitational effects of dark matter without coupling. All equations, results, and reproducibility links (Colab notebook) are included. This paper contributes to symbolic field theory and suggests that modular symbolic curvature could underlie both cognition and physics. Keywords: Inertium, symbolic gravity, KN framework, dark matter analog, symbolic resonance, phase curvature, modular fields, Kuro Nova. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1FqEkukYqj_6fM-Kl-A0uWlOUVZhSEurQ?usp=sharing
