contents <p>What if dark matter is not a missing particle, but the <strong>gravitational memory of the Universe's past quantum collapses</strong> — and that memory helps shape what collapses next?</p> <p>In a companion paper, we showed that dark matter abundance emerges from the thermodynamic cost of irreversible decoherence, with <strong>zero fitted parameters</strong>. But that framework treated the archive as passive.</p> <p>This paper asks: what if it isn't?</p> <p>We propose that the accumulated record of past wave function collapses acts as a <strong>causal rail</strong> — progressively narrowing the corridor within which future collapses can unfold. The past does not determine the future. But it constrains it.</p> <p>This single idea, minimally formalized, leaves the dark matter abundance intact while introducing a new class of prediction: <strong>structure growth explicitly tied to the Universe's archival history</strong> — something the standard model has no natural mechanism to generate.</p> <p>The framework produces three falsifiable signatures for DESI DR2/DR3 and Euclid Year 1, and a precise condition under which it is ruled out entirely.</p> <p>In this framework, dark matter is not merely an invisible substance.
