When Does Ontology Buy Phenomenology? A Critical Assessment of Quantum-Form Black Holes as Dark Matter, the Universality Bottleneck, and the Graviton Condensate Program

Abstract We assess the proposition that dark matter consists of black holes in a “quantum form” andask under what conditions such an ontological reinterpretation produces phenomenologydistinguishable from standard ΛCDM or the well-studied primordial black hole (PBH) darkmatter program. We articulate a universality theorem: cosmology is an infrared (IR) science,and most ultraviolet (UV) reinterpretations of the dark sector flow to identical IR effectivetheories under the coarse-graining intrinsic to cosmological observation. We identify thecondition under which this universality fails: the UV physics must generate at least one operator that is relevant in the renormalization-group sense, or that enters a population-levelevolution equation integrating over cosmic time. We analyze the memory-burden mechanism of Dvali and collaborators as the canonical surviving example. We then analyze theDvali–Gomez graviton condensate framework as the leading candidate for a UV-motivated
dark matter program in which a single microscopic parameter — the graviton occupationnumber N — could in principle control multiple independent observables. We derive thealgebraic consequences in the compact-object (critical) regime and identify what we argueis the central obstruction to extending the framework to galactic halos: halos are subcriticalcondensates by a factor of order 108in linear size, and the existence of a non-trivial subcritical fixed point in the condensate variational problem is an open question. We proposea falsifiability criterion — the two-observable, one-parameter principle — under which aquantum-gravity-inspired dark matter model becomes scientifically vulnerable, and we listconcrete open problems whose resolution would determine whether the program graduatesfrom ontological interpretation to predictive theory.
