Livolsi, Edoardo: Non-Existence of Dark Matter and Dark Energy from Variational Closure

We develop a closed variational framework in which physical reality is defined as the unique configuration selected from the set of stationary solutions of a universal quartic functional. In this setting, existence is not postulated but derived: only configurations satisfying the variational equation and selected by a global decisional functional belong to physical reality. Within this formal structure, we establish a general non-existence theorem for non-derived quantities. Any term that does n
