In this framework, the Hausdorff dimension D does not represent the number of spatial dimensions but quantifies the degree of connectivity, confinement, and resonance of unified energy (Φ) and charge (Ψ) fields within spacetime. We demonstrate that a critical threshold at D≈2.7 uniquely permits the emergence of stable standing-wave resonances identified as elementary particles, while simultaneously allowing long-range interactions and a non-frozen temporal evolution. For D=3, field delocalization prevents confinement and particle formation, whereas for significantly lower values of D, excessive localization suppresses interaction range and halts dynamical evolution. The value D≈2.7 thus represents a geometric balance point between localization and dispersion, enabling quark confinement, lepton and photon propagation, and the continuous flow of time. Within this scheme, normal matter corresponds to resonances near the critical dimension, dark matter emerges from subcritical fractal regimes incapable of full particle formation, and dark energy arises as the asymptotic D→3 limit of delocalized field oscillations. The theory yields testable predictions for particle stability thresholds, mass hierarchies, confinement scales, and cosmological structure formation, offering a unified geometric explanation for matter, time, and the dark sector based on a single fractal parameter.
