Activated / Anisotropic Critical Field Theory (ACFT)
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The Activated / Anisotropic Critical Field Theory (ACFT) is a modified gravitational and cosmological effective field framework designed to address the following unresolved tensions simultaneously: 1. Late-time cosmological acceleration 2. Large-scale structure growth deviations 3. Galactic rotation curve phenomenology 4. MOND-like acceleration scaling 5. Stability and hyperbolicity consistency 6. Multi-scale observational closure The framework attempts to do this without introducing arbitrary phenomenological fitting functions disconnected from the underlying field structure. Instead, ACFT is constructed as a constrained dynamical system whose: background evolution, perturbation structure, screening transitions, galactic phenomenology, and cosmological observables all emerge from a common operator structure. The project has now transitioned from: conceptual formulation, to: computational realization, to: empirical falsification readiness.
