contents <p>This short statement positions the Timeless Light Model (TLM) with respect to dark energy. Instead of treating cosmic acceleration as a mysterious new substance or exotic field, TLM accepts the simplest interpretation: accelerated expansion is already built into the framework of General and Special Relativity, in the same way mass bends space. This aligns TLM with the long tradition of treating dark energy as a cosmological constant term in Einstein’s equations, echoing Einstein (1917), Weinberg (1989), Carroll (2001), and Peebles & Ratra (2003). The paper clarifies that for TLM, expansion is not an extra ontological entity but a rule of the relativistic system itself.</p>
