Gravitational-Wave Tides in the DEAR Liquid-Crystal Lattice

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Within the NRD/DEAR framework, the universe is a structured liquid-crystal lattice of coherence. We conjecture that gravitational waves (GWs) propagate as tides on this lattice, interacting differently with fluid, intermediate, and crystalline phases. This note outlines the core hypothesis, describes expected lattice-mediated GW signatures (echoes, polarization mixing, spectral colouration), and proposes concrete observational strategies using current and near-term data.
