Cosmic Web as MID Ridge Network: Tension Geometry and Guided Lensing

Abstract

This paper presents a substrate‑level reinterpretation of the cosmic web as a network of coherence‑tension ridges within the MID/QC framework. Instead of emerging from gravitational collapse alone, large‑scale filaments arise as stable tension channels formed by coherence gradients in the underlying substrate. These ridge structures naturally guide matter flow, shape filament alignment, and generate lensing signatures that differ from standard ΛCDM expectations. The analysis shows how guided lensing, filament straightness, and ultra‑large coherent structures follow directly from substrate tension geometry, offering a unified explanation for observed cosmic web morphology and its anomalous features.
