Standard cosmology derives galaxy angular momentum from late-time tidal torques (TTT) [1, 2], predicting negligible primordial spin. This assumption con- flicts with JWST observations of massive rotating disks at z > 10 [4, 5] and per- sistent spin-filament alignments in gas-rich galaxies [6, 7]. This manuscript models these anomalies as structural remnants of vacuum crystallization. In the Selection- Stitch Model (SSM) [10], the K = 4 → K = 12 phase transition generates a torsional strain field at the crystallization front, governed by the Chiral Cosserat Lagrangian [11]. This imparts primordial angular momentum via the geomet- ric coupling ωinit = αgeom(∇ρ׈ z). We test this mechanism using a Zeldovich- approximation halo catalog (N = 262,144) paired with a matched null comparison. For 117 halos with Np ≥20, the curl simulation produces a spin alignment bias of 61.5% [52.1–70.4%, 95% CI] versus 51.3% in the null case (p= 0.016). The bias in- creases with halo mass, matching the∼64% alignment observed in gas-rich galaxy populations [6, 7]. The complete Python simulation code is provided in Appendix B to ensure exact reproducibility.
