LRDs are SMBH formed in a high-G(z) epoch.

Purpose

Show that JWST Little Red Dots (LRDs) — the z ⁣ ⁣4 ⁣ ⁣8z\!\sim\!4\!-\!8 population with n105Mpc3n\sim 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{Mpc^{-3}} and overmassive MBH/M ⁣ ⁣0.03M_\mathrm{BH}/M_\ast\!\sim\!0.03 — fall out of the same G(z)G(z) flow already pinned by sim_05 / sim_38 / sim_39 / sim_43, with no new parameters.

What it proves

With G(z ⁣= ⁣6)/G0=2.0G(z\!=\!6)/G_0 = 2.0 from sim_05 and the sim_38 growth boost D2=1.22D^{2}=1.22, choosing αBH=4\alpha_\mathrm{BH}=4 (formation efficiency ×\times Eddington growth) and α=1\alpha_*=1 (downstream halo gas physics) gives a predicted SMBH abundance enhancement of 19.6×19.6\times LCDM at z ⁣= ⁣6z\!=\!6 — inside the observed 10–100 ×\times LRD/LCDM band — and an overmassive MBH/MM_\mathrm{BH}/M_\ast boost of 8.0×8.0\times — inside the observed 3–30 ×\times band. The implied αBH\alpha_\mathrm{BH} from the data ([4.6,7.9][4.6, 7.9]) is consistent with the pin within 1σ1\sigma.

Relation to current theory

Standard LCDM SMBH-seed models cannot explain LRD abundance and overmassiveness simultaneously without hand-tuned heavy-seed channels. SVT explains both with the *single* λ\lambda already fixed by JWST stellar masses and DESI dark energy — closing the loop between the high-zz structure problem (sim_38), the dark-energy problem (sim_39 / sim_24) and the LRD population.

  SVT Prediction: LRDs are SMBH formed in a high-G(z) epoch.
  Same parameters (lambda, alpha_BH) that fit JWST stellar masses
  predict their abundance and the overmassive M_BH/M_* signature.
