Solving the Cosmic Coincidence Problem: The Locally Pumped Dark Energy Model

The Locally Pumped Dark Energy (LPDE) model proposes that cosmic acceleration begins when non-linear dark matter structures form, acting as a 'pump' for a dark energy field. This links structure growth to late-time expansion, solving the coincidence problem by making acceleration dependent on gravitational collapse rather than fine-tuning background density.
