This Complete Formalism (CF11) specifies a falsifiable, derived-limit route by which the VDM

metriplectic split (reversible J limb ⊕ irreversible M limb) can be interpreted as an effective

two-component “dark sector” at cosmological scales without postulating new fundamental

particles. The central technical move is to avoid an ad hoc field split Φ = ΦJ +ΦM: instead, a

state-level decomposition is defined by spectral (Riesz) projectors of the linearized generator

about a coarse-grained background, producing oscillatory (reversible) and relaxational

(irreversible) bands with a measurable spectral-gap gate. Sector stress–energy and a tracked

interaction remainder are then defined in a quadratic approximation using the energy Hessian

inner product, yielding explicit cross-term control metrics. Within clearly stated regime

diagnostics, CF11 derives correct bounded equation-of-state limits: a coherent, slowly varying,

nearly homogeneous sector satisfies wJ ≈ −1, while a defect/oscillation-dominated, nonrelativistic sector admits wM ≈ 0 via either particle-kinematics or rapid oscillations in a

quadratic minimum. The deliverable is a publishable contract plus binary gates for (i)

T2 lattice validation of degeneracy, entropy monotonicity, the spectral split, and causality

bounds, and (ii) T3+ observational regression using model selection (AIC/BIC) and a

hierarchy–lensing bias statistic.
