Primordial Angular Momentum: Galaxy Spin Bias as a Topological Fossil of Vacuum Crystallization

Abstract

Standard cosmology assumes galaxy spins arise solely from late-time tidal torques (TTT), predicting a gradual spin-up over billions of years. This model is challenged by JWST observations of massive rotating disks at z>10 and persistent spin-filament alignments in local gas-rich galaxies. We propose these anomalies are fossils of Vacuum Genesis. In the Selection-Stitch Model (SSM), the crystallization of the vacuum into a K = 12 lattice imparts a primordial “Genesis Curl” (∇×⃗ulattice) to density perturbations via geometric shear. We demonstrate via N-Body simulation (N = 50,000) that massive halos (Np >20) inherit an initial spin bias of ≈64%, matching the strong alignment signals (⟨|cos θ|⟩≈0.64) observed in pristine HI-rich galaxies. We conclude that the universe was born spinning, with the signal strongest in high-mass systems before late-time merger dilution.
