We use that gravity probes only the total energy momentum tensor to show how this leads to a degeneracy for generalised dark energy models. Because of this degeneracy, Omega_m cannot be measured. We demonstrate this explicitely by showing that the CMB and supernova data is compatible with very large and very small values of Omega_m for a specific family of dark energy models. We also show that for the same reason interacting dark energy is always equivalent to a family of non-interacting models. We argue that it is better to face this degeneracy and to parametrise the actual observables.

The silent dark sector: a field-theory approach to unified dark fluids with vanishing speed of sound
All vanishing-speed-of-sound TDiff scalar theories reduce to a two-parameter mimetic action describing the dark sector as interacting dust plus vacuum; a quadratic-potential example tracks the DESI CPL background.

Defocusing dark energy: Raychaudhuri diagnostics beyond $w<-1/3$ and the phantom divide
For sign-changing effective dark energy, smooth negative-to-positive density crossings make ρ+3p and ρ+p the correct diagnostics, give w=p/ρ a universal pole n(1+z†)/3, and force repulsion onset z_rep>z† while ρ<0.

Breaking the Dark Sector Degeneracy with Nonparametric Expansion--Growth Reconstruction
Joint nonparametric expansion–growth reconstruction finds no significant dark-sector interaction or dark-energy dynamics, remaining consistent with ΛCDM over 0≲z≲2.

Is Dark Matter Really Matter?
Using DESI DR2, DES supernovae, and two CMB likelihoods, the authors find wDM about 0.001 and wDE about -0.94 when varied jointly, a roughly 2-sigma joint preference away from Lambda-CDM, with a non-phantom Pade-w plu...
