Fresh IBM Fez platform-lock pre-registration for executing the (Z_2)^3 prediction under the Stage 1c topological gate (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20404635).

All other Stage 1b provisions (predictions 7/8 vs 8/9, operational f̂ definition, statistical-power requirement, Bayes-factor decision rule) remain in force.This Stage 2c is distinct from Stage 2 (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20360347) which locked qubits (15, 25, 56) against a 2026-05-23 calibration epoch and yielded the INDETERMINATE Stage 3 outcome (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20360386) under the old gate. The present Stage 2c lock targets a fresh calibration epoch and a freshly-quality-ranked qubit triple, and the certified execution under this lock will produce a Stage 3c result-of-execution report.Files in this deposit:uct_prediction_2_pregist_stage2c_fez.md — platform pre-registration document (SHA-256: f37062bc98e9429ffe6e92fea135ad6ff729a56c00606337747872d0a4b00dc9, 10320 bytes)ibm_fez_cal_snapshot_2026-05-26.json — locked Fez calibration snapshot (SHA-256: 3f69b12d793b7c0cfc1f7cb343b3a0b8c40f04ae3a6239f7e3edd48192dadd1d, 19485 bytes)Calibration validity window: Fez job to be submitted within 24 hours of snapshot time (by 2026-05-28T02:18:29Z).

A sealed two-instrument search for an unprogrammed clock-reference projection This preregistration compares two fixed point hypotheses using independent matter-wave Sagnac and Faraday polarization-coherence instruments. Each instrument uses four physical histories and a camera-corrected Gram quotient: Rdobs=CdNdord1∣Dττ(d)DTT(d)∣∣DτT(d)DTτ(d)∣. After physical activation, the frozen fork is Rdstandard=1,RdQTT=cos(8π)=0.9238795325112867…. Version 3.1 adds a post-seal standard-physics completeness gate for rotating atomic and ring-cavity platforms. The ordinary model must include or bound every applicable centre-of-mass, internal-spin, field, rotational Röntgen, polarization, backscatter, trap, Zeeman, and Stark term. In compact form, Hrotstd=H0−Ω⋅(L+F+ℓF)+HRR+HZ+HStark+Htrap+Hbs+Hpol+⋯, with the rotation-induced hyperfine row HRH=−Ω⋅F,δωRH=−Ω∥ΔmF. The standard-null ledger, parameter provenance, held-out controls, and adequacy thresholds are frozen before target labels. If an applicable row is unresolved, the packet returns INELIGIBLE_NO_THEORY_VERDICT. No target digit, ratio orientation, compatibility band, power floor, or numerical decision threshold is changed. Operation eligibility and reporting are amended as described below. Concept DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21376520 Main book: Quantum Traction Theory: Main Book v10.01 Website: quantumtraction.org Version 3.2: operation qualification and retained observations The numerical targets, ratio orientation, decision regions and historical seals are unchanged. A 22.5-degree or 45-degree component is no longer excluded by its angle alone: its physical transfer must be independently established. Common-operation cancellation and signal-preserving calibration are proved; both hypotheses must remain identifiable. Every acquired record is retained. After authorized unblinding, QTT-like, ordinary-like and unexpected outcomes are reported, including observations that do not qualify for a theory verdict. This is a prospective amendment, not a retrospective resealing of data. Clock, ruler and signal-recovery qualification. Both registered predictions are constructed at the raw detector with explicit proper-time, coordinate-time, worldline, ruler and synchronization conventions. Each relativistic effect is counted once. Independently calibrated corrections carry their uncertainties through the common comparison; the tested rows cannot train a normalization that forces either answer. Blind recovery is required separately for both alternatives at every predeclared operating setting. The inherited targets and decision rules remain fixed. The included design study makes sensitivity explicit: for the Two-Test Gram classifier, a total ratio uncertainty of 0.0013 gives approximately 88.9% QTT-branch and 94.1% ordinary-branch power under the stated ideal model. These are conditional detection probabilities, not probabilities that a theory is true, and each instrument retains its own classifier. The complete apparatus packet must be sealed before acquisition and target access; historical campaign rules remain preserved. Reconstruction entry point. Start with current/CURRENT_RELATIVISTIC_EXECUTION.md in the ZIP. The shared execution contract refers once to the development filename CURRENT_EXECUTION_RC.md; that reference means CURRENT_RELATIVISTIC_EXECUTION.md in this release. The packaged README names the correct file. This navigation correction does not change the deposited files, scientific requirements or historical seals.

This note reports the outcome of the test pre-registered in DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23047418, applying its observables, step rule and decision criteria without modification. Using standard quantum mechanics for the ideal Rydberg-blockade (PXP) chain as the benchmark, Prediction 2, that the post-quench density settles with the universal ratio −1/φ², is refuted: the ratios are fixed by a slowly decaying oscillation about an offset centre, as a centre-and-amplitude decomposition shows exactly. Prediction 1, the spatial correlation ratio −1/φ² at infinite temperature, holds exactly in theory and awaits laboratory confirmation. The qualitative picture is corroborated: the transition is gradual, with unity exact throughout while local coherence fades. The residual ~5% amplitude loss per half-swing is shown not to be structural, since a small Hamiltonian deformation removes it. A near-hit at the first step is reported as post hoc and not counted. Includes the note, LaTeX source and a reproducibility script.
This note records a prediction before any experimental data are examined. It is a pre-registration, deposited so that the prediction and its test criteria are fixed in advance. In the ENSO Framework, the reciprocal pair (r, 1/r) under the Fibonacci law preserves unity exactly at every step while settling onto its fixed point (φ, 1/φ). Successive deviations from the fixed point stand in the ratio −1/φ² ≈ −0.382. That ratio is set by the law's two eigenvalues and has no free parameter. The same matrix is the transfer matrix of the nearest-neighbour Rydberg-blockade constraint, whose allowed configurations form the Fibonacci Hilbert space studied in Rydberg atom arrays. Two predictions follow: Prediction 1 (atemporal and spatial). Connected density correlations in the infinite-temperature blockaded chain alternate with ratio −1/φ² per site, and the bulk density is 1/(1+φ²). Standard statistical mechanics predicts the same, so this serves as a calibration of the identification, not as a discriminator. Prediction 2 (conjectural and discriminating). The same ratio governs how the chain settles after a Néel quench, universally across Rabi frequency, system size and lattice spacing. A built-in control requires next-nearest-neighbour blockade to give a different, non-alternating signature. Decision criteria (supports, refutes, inconclusive), the author's prior and the analysis procedure are all stated before any data are consulted. The upload includes the note (PDF and LaTeX source) and a reproducibility script that computes every number in it for ideal chains (8/8 checks).
Erase the apparent carrier. Recover the qubit from its halo. Then ask a different clock. This preregistration separates an ordinary quantum-memory qualification from a distinct timing test. Test A evolves a logical qubit through a frozen local channel, physically resets its original carrier, and asks whether a finite surrounding window can recover it. Test B asks whether that independently reconstructed channel fidelity controls a separate timing-covariance frontier. Test A: where is the recoverable channel? Ri(ω)=∣0⟩⟨0∣i⊗Triω,Qdel=2Favg(Ndel,id)−1,Fedel=41+3Qdel. Target-only and every smaller halo subwindow remain optimized counterfactuals. A physical reset, sham reset, hidden-record injection, boundary ladder, and complete terminal record are required before the recovery layer qualifies. Test B: does the memory verifier intertwine with an independent timing projector? W†MeW=Palign,ηT=Tr(ρPalign),UT⋆=inf2detΣTΩ. On the certified canonical branch, the sealed QTT target is ηT=Fedel,UT⋆=1−Fedel. No complement coefficient is fitted. Five fidelity corridors, a radius/depth ladder, one-third untouched holdouts, topology twins, full covariance, global five-sigma decisions, at least 95% planned power, and transfer to a second record technology are frozen before data. The external computation is a feasibility anchor, not the timing target An, Cao, and Cui report carrier-deletion recovery in a local kicked-Ising memory. Their result qualifies the plausibility of Test A. Their reported Q=0.516 is explicitly forbidden from constructing Test B. The public source archive lacks the exact arrays and scripts, so exact replication remains pending. Five terminal outcomes INELIGIBLE_NO_THEORY_VERDICT REGISTERED_QTT_CONSEQUENCE_FALSIFIED QTT_CANDIDATE QUALIFIED_OTHER_OR_CROSS_CHANNEL_ANOMALY AMBIGUOUS_OR_UNDERPOWERED Any failed eligibility gate terminates without a theory verdict. A positive result requires the full multirung shape, not one selected point. An off-target anomaly is preserved rather than discarded or used as a post-hoc rescue.
