We elaborate on our proposal regarding a connection between global physics
and local galactic dynamics via quantum gravity. In this proposal, the salient
features of cold dark matter (CDM) and the phenomenology of modified Newtonian
dynamics (MOND) are combined into a unified scheme by introducing the concept
of MONDian dark matter, which behaves like CDM at cluster and cosmological
scales but emulates MOND at the galactic scale. In this paper, we first point
out a surprising connection between the MONDian dark matter and an effective
gravitational Born-Infeld theory. We then argue that these unconventional
quanta of MONDian dark matter must obey infinite statistics. Finally, we
provide a possible top-down approach to our proposal from the Matrix theory
point of view.
