Altogether too little is made of the gravitational topology of General
Relativity.  Since this topology exists at all, it is reasonable to
posit that it plays a broader role, and has more application, in the
physical structure of the universe.

A common universal model is that our universe is a membrane wrapped
around a higher-dimensional body.  A clear connection between this and
gravitational topology is that gravity depends on the topological
undulations of the higher-dimensional surface of this underlying body.

Thus mass in our universe depresses into the higher-dimensional
surface and gravity increases.  However, the generalization now arises
that mass is not necessary for gravity, that gravitational-potential
plateaus and valleys can exist on the hyperbody's surface (and thus in
our universe) in a simple allegory to Earth's landscape features.
Thus galaxy clustering features like the Great Wall simply inhabit
areas of low gravitational potential, i.e. valleys in the Einsteinian
surface, where galaxies naturally congregate.  Topological plateaus
are thus areas where little matter is found, and the large-scale
flowing motion of galaxies is simply correlated to rivers flowing
through channels.  The universe as a topological surface explains a
great deal.

We can extend this further by modelling spiral galaxies as having
their own topological dynamic equating to a quiescent volcano.  The
reason for the central elevation is that matter is mined from the
higher-dimensional body below, fulfilling James Jeans' vision of
galaxies as "matter poured into our universe".   Below the central
topological peak the galaxy's mass keeps the rotating matter
centralized, but the central peak means that the inverse-law is not
followed and there is actually not much less gravitational potential
in the center of the galaxy than there is in the outer extents.  Thus
the rotational profiles of galaxies are immediately understood without
need of "dark matter".

The galactic jets are quickly explained also by realising that a
spiral's minor axis correlates to a channel exiting the topological
height of the galaxy's core.  The matter flows out of the galaxy's
core by *falling out of the galaxy*, like water flowing down a steep
channel, eventually to dissipate, meanderingly, into the vast plains
of lower gravitational potential of deep space.  Thus the peculiar
galactic jets which, once far from the galaxy, start twisting and
spreading like a river which is near to the sea.
