Dilating Loop Relativity (DLR) connects the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson double copytheory1 with Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). The framework recognizes physical mass as the source of unconfined kinematic potential density operating on LQG spinfoam cells. At aspinfoam vertex, this potential triggers localized spatial loop dilations that emergemacroscopically as the Schwarzschild metric. At a black hole, vertex dilation increasescontinuously down to the black hole centre. The event horizon acts as a filter, where nodes havedilated sufficiently that shorter-wavelength photons cannot execute the discrete hops required for propagation, while ultra-long Hawking radiation wavelengths span the node gaps and escape. Dark matter is the frozen remnant of early fluctuations in the strong force, acting similarly on LGQ spacetime. Finally, we propose a laboratory test using polarized solid hydrogen to detect an anisotropic, equatorial time-dilation signature.
