Galaxies form and reside within a large-scale structure primarily composed of dark matter. This spatial clustering is shaped by gravitational forces acting on initially small perturbations present in the very early universe. As structure grows hierarchically through gravitational instability, the tidal fields associated with the evolving matter density are expected to induce subtle effects on the shapes, spins, and orientations of galaxies and dark matter haloes.
