  1. GR vs MOND - not competing theories, both emerge from 7D geometry.

    New paper: Kaluza-Klein reduction splits into GR (metric) + MOND (scalar sector).

    7D Einstein-Hilbert → Einstein's equations + AQUAL.

    Prediction: lensing = dynamics. Testable.

  2. Galaxy clusters break MOND. They need ~1.7× more mass than predicted - modified gravity's biggest problem.

    New paper: the enhancement comes from geometry. Hot plasma activates extra coupling channels (3 vs. 1 in cold galaxies).

    √3 = 1.73. Matches data: 1.69 ± 0.39.
    Predicts zero hydrostatic bias - testable with X-ray + lensing.
