⚠️ Notice of Model Update: > The Resonant Lattice Model (RLM) framework presented in this preprint has been officially updated and superseded by the Resonant Vacuum Condensate (RVC) model. To view the complete, unified theoretical framework and its updated cosmological mechanics, please refer to the master RVC publication here: [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18869120] The Resonant Lattice Model (RLM) resolves late-stage cosmological tensions by introducing a10−4 Mpc−1 macroscopic impedance—a geometric drag acting upon a continuous superfluidvacuum. However, utilizing terminology such as "lattice" and "impedance" risks misinterpretation as a return to a rigid, dissipative aether. This clarification paper establishes the strict Kinematic-Functionalist parameters of the RLM. We mathematically decouple the vacuum fluid (a non-interacting Substrate Constant) from the localized topological geometry (dynamic Algorithmic Variables). By demonstrating that Event Horizons act as topological yield boundaries rather than singularities, and by aligning kinematic drag with observed diffusion damped oscillations, we establish that the RLM lattice is a dynamic interference map devoid of thermodynamic friction
