contents <p>We construct the unique covariant extension of transport-kinetic MOND (Paper I). The k-essence action with f(s) = s − 2√s + 2·ln(√s+1), uniquely determined by the Langmuir form μ = √s/(√s+1), has three structural properties: (i) tensor gravitational-wave speed c_T = c identically (GW170817-compatible); (ii) ghost-free with 1/2 < cs² < 1 everywhere; (iii) PPN deviations far below Cassini bound. Light propagates on the acoustic metric of the substrate flow, which reduces to the Painlevé–Gullstrand form with cs = c. This gives AB = 1 identically without introducing a separate vector field, resolving the canonical lensing problem of scalar MOND (RAQUAL) and matching the TeVeS/AeST phenomenology with fewer fields.</p> <p>At CMB scales, the MOND substrate response is frozen on acoustic timescales, providing apparent CDM-like potential wells with effective enhancement ν ≈ Ω_m,ΛCDM/Ω_b ≈ 6.4. The physical origin of this arithmetic identity — the substrate oscillation energy of Paper IV filling exactly the role of missing mass in the Friedmann equation — is the subject of Paper IV; here we establish the perturbation-level mechanism.

The Bullet Cluster lensing offset remains a known challenge in the tracking regime, though Paper IV's unified potential provides partial smoothing via substrate oscillation perturbations.
