meters. The limitation is not the size of the universe but the coherence, restoring forces, and boundary conditions required for such a mode to exist. Ultra‑long‑wavelength structural modes behave like standing‑wave solutions: they require a medium capable of maintaining phase alignment across the entire wavelength and a mechanism that provides global coherence. Three‑dimensional spacetime lacks these properties. It expands, curves, and provides no rigid boundaries or global restoring forces; even gravitational waves decohere unless produced by extreme, transient events. A stable, continuous 0.2 Hz oscillation therefore cannot arise as a local 3D field mode. If such a mode exists, it must originate from a deeper substrate with coherence properties exceeding those of emergent 3D geometry. This conclusion is consistent with holographic, tensor‑network, and emergent‑spacetime frameworks, all of which treat 3D spacetime as a derived, not fundamental, structure.
