ΔS_C = ∫_C Π(C) · δ�� / ω_C · dA , wi h ω_C ≡ ∂Φ_C/∂ (local bounda y equency).
Linea izing he me ic esponse g_μν → g_μν + h_μν, he induced dis u bance h_μν obeys a

4. Phenomenology & P edic ions

2) Uni e sal coupling: Since shadow mass couples ia o al ebalancing ene gy, coupling is

3) Weakness o g a i y: Mos ebalancing ene gy emains supe luminal; we obse e only
Π(C)·m_s, explaining g a i y’s small e ec i e s eng h.
4) Pola iza ion: Bounda y-media ed cu a u e ans e cons ains pola iza ion o

5) Con ex dependence: In s ong- ield egions whe e Φ_C o Π(C) a y, small de ia ions
