In Dimensional Relativity, dark energy emerges as a dynamic component of quantum foam's two-dimensional energy fields, driving cosmic expansion through negative pressure. These fields oscillate at the fundamental frequency:
The foam's fractal structure (D_f ≈ 2.3) amplifies dark energy's effect, with a network of 10^60 nodes and 10^61 edges per m³ (k_avg ≈ 10) channeling expansive forces. Dark energy's density, estimated at ~10^-9 J/m³, contributes to the stress-energy tensor:
Dark energy manifests as foam-mediated phenomena where 2D fields generate repulsive forces that accelerate cosmic expansion. This contrasts with dark matter's gravitational clustering, as dark energy's coherent field fluctuations create isotropic spacetime stretching.
