This deposit seals the baseline (v1.0) pre-registration of four experimentally testable predictions of the Triadic Entanglement State-Determination Engineering (TESE) framework, together with a shared-coupling back-inference protocol and pre-specified decision criteria. All four predictions derive from a single coupling set {g_AB} governing six fundamental modes of a first-space meta-field; confirmation of any one prediction, combined with back-inference of {g_AB} and consistency checks against the remaining three, constitutes system-level (global) confirmation rather than an isolated one. The predictions are: (M5-delta) a four-threshold decoherence staircase with threshold positions at 13.6 eV, 8.8 MeV, 939 MeV, and 200 MeV, plus six absorption peaks of an entanglement-medium response spectrum; (M5-gamma) a statistically significant deviation of the cosmological structure growth index from the general-relativistic scaling law, jointly with superior TESE-template fit over Lambda-CDM at pre-specified model-comparison thresholds; (M5-beta) vanishing of decoherence rates as temperature approaches zero, in contradiction with spontaneous-collapse models; and (M5-alpha) an upward shift of +9.6 percent in the hadron-quark transition temperature in neutron-star gravitational environments, with environment-independence of the crossover shape as an independent kill criterion. For each prediction we register the quantitative anchor value, the acceptance and rejection thresholds, the designated data source, and the axiomatic link that a conflict would localize. This v1.0 baseline is immutable; revisions follow a versioned chain under one concept DOI with explicit change logs. Companion frozen analysis code is deposited separately. No analysis choice in this document depends on post-registration information.

GRUT Foundational ToE v4: A Unified Response Framework with Testable Gravitational Decoherence and Entanglement-Dependent Scaling GRUT (Grand Responsive Universe Theory) is a unified response framework in which physical laws emerge as structural limits of a universal directed-response system governed by a complex relaxation time and formulated within the closed-time-path (CTP) formalism. From three structural axioms — CTP doubling, directed response, and complex relaxation with τ_I = ℏ/2 — the framework recovers the structure of quantum mechanics, relativistic field theory, gauge interactions, the electroweak sector, and the Higgs mechanism with the same parameter count as the Standard Model. These recoveries establish consistency with known physics but are not the primary contribution; the value of the core formalism is structural, providing a unified derivation from which the novel prediction sector follows without additional assumptions. Beyond Standard Model equivalence, the gravitational self-interaction of the response field produces the Universal Scaling Law (USL): a zero-parameter gravitational decoherence law Λ = Gm²S(l/R)/(ℏl) that spans 120 orders of magnitude in decoherence rate. The extended-body geometry correction S(l/R), derived from the Diósi self-energy integral for uniform spheres, produces a characteristic geometric kink at l ≈ 1.8R where the near-field (Λ ∝ l²) and far-field (Λ ∝ 1/l) regimes meet — a structural fingerprint that no single smooth power-law model can reproduce. The point-mass approximation used in standard Diósi-Penrose models overestimates decoherence rates by up to 6,000× for experimentally relevant separations, making the extended-body correction a quantitative discriminant between GRUT and existing collapse models. The many-body extension of the Diósi functional reveals that anti-correlated entangled states are gravitationally protected: Bell states decohere approximately 17% more slowly than product states at 200 nm inter-particle spacing, and GHZ states show progressively stronger suppression (up to 72% for N = 20). Within the class of models tested, this entanglement dependence constitutes a three-way experimental discriminant — standard quantum mechanics predicts zero decoherence, CSL predicts equal rates for product and entangled states, and only the GRUT extended-body Diósi functional predicts state-dependent rates with the correct geometry scaling. Six independent experimental signatures are identified, no tested alternative model reproduces all six simultaneously, and zero free parameters appear in the gravitational decoherence sector. The framework includes a complete environmental channel budget (gas collision, blackbody, trap recoil, charge noise, vibrational coupling, readout backaction) for any experimental platform, identifying the binding constraint and crossover pressure where the gravitational signal becomes dominant. For a 10 pg nanodiamond at 100 nm separation, the gas-gravity crossover occurs at P* ≈ 4 × 10⁻⁹ Pa. Below this pressure, GRUT predicts a decoherence plateau at Λ ≈ 633 Hz while standard quantum mechanics predicts vanishing decoherence — a 406× difference in coherence time at 10⁻¹¹ Pa. This prediction is testable with levitated nanoparticle experiments within the next 5–15 years. All predictions are implemented in the grut_solver computational package with 24 verified tests and an adversarial self-attack (kill) framework that systematically tests whether alternative models can mimic the GRUT signature space. The framework is falsifiable by specific, near-term experiments. It either survives experiment or it doesn't. Key Insights: Zero free parameters in the gravitational decoherence sector — the USL is derived entirely from the CTP influence functional with no fitted constants The Universal Scaling Law Λ = Gm²S(l/R)/(ℏl) spans 120 orders of magnitude from single electrons (10⁻⁶⁰ Hz) to planetary bodies (10⁺⁶⁰ Hz) Extended-body geometry correction S(l/R) produces a characteristic kink at l ≈ 1.8R that distinguishes GRUT from all point-mass decoherence models Anti-correlated Bell states are gravitationally protected: ~17% slower decoherence than product states at d = 200 nm, providing a three-way discriminant between GRUT, standard QM, and CSL GHZ entangled states show progressively stronger protection with increasing particle number (up to 72% suppression at N = 20) Six independent experimental signatures identified; no tested alternative model reproduces all six simultaneously Complete environmental channel budget computed for any experimental platform, identifying the binding constraint at each pressure The pressure-independent decoherence plateau (Λ ≈ 633 Hz for a 10 pg particle) produces a 406× difference from standard QM at achievable vacuum pressures The gas-gravity crossover at P* ≈ 4 × 10⁻⁹ Pa is within reach of current levitated nanoparticle technology Known physics (Schrödinger, Dirac, gauge theory, electroweak, Higgs) recovered from three structural axioms with the same ~20 free parameters as the Standard Model Mass emerges as inverse spatial susceptibility: m = τ_I²/c₂ — a structural ratio, not a postulated quantity The τ_R instability is a structural proof that dissipation cannot be added to quantum mechanics without noise, motivating the CTP open-system completion The adversarial kill framework systematically tests each competitor model against all six signatures, with complementary failure modes ensuring no single alternative can mimic the full prediction space The quantum-classical boundary is a computed surface in (mass, separation, time) space: m* = √(ℏl/Gt), not a postulated threshold
Abstract The Information Space Ontology (ISO) proposes a scalar order parameter — the locking degree L∈[0,1]L∈[0,1] — to quantify the classicality of a quantum system and to govern decoherence dynamics. This work presents comprehensive empirical tests of the locking degree hypothesis across five independent physical systems spanning energy scales from 10−310−3 eV to MeV. A universal decoherence coefficient ξ=10.30±0.59ξ=10.30±0.59 is extracted from αα, ββ, γγ and proton emission half‑lives (5562 nuclei) and survives explicit inclusion of the Fermi function in ββ-decay. Neutral kaon decoherence data confirm the predicted vanishing of decoherence at L→1L→1; meson total lifetimes serve as a negative control (ξ≈0ξ≈0). On cosmological scales, the ISO information‑inertia model is phenomenologically highly similar to ΛΛCDM in background expansion: the maximum distance‑modulus difference is 0.0940.094 mag, smaller than the typical supernova uncertainty (0.150.15 mag). A theoretical extrapolation yields a dark‑energy equation of state w0≈−0.937w0≈−0.937 and a relaxation rate β≈0.095β≈0.095. A cross‑scale closure test on 169 SPARC galaxies gives a relative scatter of 0.44 for the halo scale parameter DmaxDmax, indicating that a single global relaxation scale accounts for the full structural diversity without galaxy‑by‑galaxy tuning. For the first time, the hypothesis is extended to light‑nuclei fusion reactions. D‑T reaction data (48 points) give ξDT=−3.96ξDT=−3.96 (95 % CI [−7.72,−0.26][−7.72,−0.26]). D‑D reactions (802 points) analysed with the ENDF/B‑VIII.0 R‑matrix evaluated baseline — a zero‑free‑parameter gold standard — yield ξDD=−1.5×10−4ξDD=−1.5×10−4 (95 % CI [−1.7,−1.3]×10−4[−1.7,−1.3]×10−4). Across all seven independent fusion fits, ξξ is consistently negative and statistically significant, establishing a cross‑reaction sign rule: nuclear decays give ξ>0ξ>0 (decoherence releases energy), whereas fusion reactions give ξ<0ξ<0 (information inertia suppresses quantum tunnelling), exactly as predicted by the reversal of the locking‑degree difference ΔinfoΔinfo. The exact static, spherically symmetric solution of the field equations yields negligible galactic dark‑matter contribution, pinpointing a completeness boundary. Seven alternative theoretical paths are enumerated and nine adjudication tests are carried out, six of which favour the locking degree hypothesis. All code, data and pipelines are publicly available.

Version: v1.0 DESCRIPTION: We introduce Coherence Field Dynamics (CFD), a theoretical framework that extends holographic quantum gravity by promoting quantum coherence — the off-diagonal density matrix elements — to an independent geometric degree of freedom. While standard holographic frameworks (AdS/CFT, Ryu-Takayanagi) encode bulk geometry through entanglement entropy alone, CFD posits that coherence parameterizes effective bulk depth, complementary to entanglement's encoding of connectivity. The coherence field φ(p,γ) satisfies a wave equation in information-geometric parameter space, generating a Lorentzian metric that degenerates at a critical decoherence threshold γ_c. The framework predicts the existence of such a threshold from geometric stability analysis; its specific numerical value is system-dependent. Connections are established between information geometry, MERA tensor networks, and holographic entropy. The variational principle coupling coherence to an effective gravitational action is presented as an analogue gravity model (c and G are effective parameters), not a claim about physical 4D spacetime. Key results: Theoretical framework: coherence field equation, information-geometric metric, variational principle, and five testable predictionsCompanion experimental work demonstrates a fidelity threshold at γ ≈ 0.535 on IonQ Forte-1 (F = 0.988 baseline, collapse to F ≈ 0 under dephasing) and consistency with the dephasing response on Pasqal FRESNEL_CAN1 QPU (noise ratio 1.13×). These results are consistent with CFD's predicted critical behavior, though they do not uniquely distinguish CFD from standard noise models. The specific threshold value (0.535) is determined by the experimental circuit geometry, not derived from CFD aloneFour predictions remain open and experimentally accessible on current NISQ hardware: coherence-depth complementarity, MERA-decoherence correspondence, coherence-modulated entropy scaling, and hardware demonstration of non-trivial reversibilityThis paper presents the theoretical framework. The detailed experimental protocols and hardware data are reported in the companion publication "Cross-Platform Noise Thresholds in Quantum Teleportation: Trapped-Ion and Neutral-Atom Architectures" (see Related Identifiers).
This work presents a heuristic optimization framework that generates specific, quantitative, and testable predictions regarding the quantum-classical transition boundary. Rather than proposing a fundamental theory of quantum gravity or resolving the measurement problem, the framework introduces a phenomenological state-selection criterion based on information-theoretic efficiency under gravitational constraints. Core Predictions & Scope: The Optimization Cliff: Predicts an abrupt collapse of quantum coherence at critical gravitational thresholds (rc≈1.2 mm for levitated 106 amu silica nanoparticles near a 10 g test mass) with a sharp transition width (Δr/rc<0.05), contrasting sharply with the smooth decay predicted by conventional decoherence models. Falsifiability: Provides explicit experimental signatures for terrestrial gradient interferometry and levitated optomechanics, establishing clear go/no-go criteria for empirical refutation. Epistemic Status: Formulated as a productive generative metaphor, the framework maintains strict agnosticism regarding underlying ontology, clearly separating its testable core from speculative extensions. Chronological & Contextual Note: This manuscript reflects the revised version of the framework completed in April 2026 (originally formulated in February 2026). It is deposited on Zenodo as an open-access preprint following an initial deposit on OSF Preprints to ensure permanent digital preservation, DOI indexing via CERN, and open availability for the research community.
This technical report develops and tests TWMSE Candidate Equation 4A, a phenomenological, threshold-activated model of observer-induced quantum collapse formulated to preserve Born weights and operational no-signalling while producing experimentally distinguishable dynamics. Candidate Equation 4A introduces a branch-sensitive Lindblad term whose activation depends on whether an operationally defined observer record exceeds a specified threshold. The report evaluates the equation’s mathematical consistency, including trace preservation, positivity, Born-weight preservation and operational no-signalling. It also examines individual stochastic trajectories, ensemble behaviour, synthetic count-level parameter recovery, statistical power and the consequences of model misspecification. A retrospective analysis is performed using published fitted GHZ decoherence-rate summaries from two superconducting-qubit studies. This is not an analysis of original laboratory shot-level data. The combined profile analysis finds no robust positive signal for Candidate Equation 4A. Instead, it establishes provisional, threshold-dependent upper limits on the additional collapse rate. Across the report’s primary threshold range of R* = 1–9, the largest pointwise one-sided 95% upper limit is approximately 7.3 × 10³ s⁻¹, while the tightest limit is approximately 3.0 × 10³ s⁻¹ at R* = 8. These are pointwise limits and do not constitute a simultaneous confidence band. The retrospective results therefore constrain but do not favour Candidate Equation 4A. Standard quantum mechanics remains sufficient to describe the analysed GHZ summaries and does so with fewer parameters. Candidate Equation 4A survives this preliminary confrontation only in the limited scientific sense that portions of its parameter space remain unexcluded. This non-exclusion is not evidence that the candidate is correct. The report consequently specifies a dedicated amplify–hold–erase experiment using matched record-forming and coherent-control circuits. The proposed test varies observer-record size, conditional record strength and dwell time while collecting count-level measurement outcomes and contemporaneous calibrations of conventional noise. The protocol is designed to distinguish a threshold-activated observer-record contribution from smooth, conventional decoherence and other experimental effects. A preregistration template, empirical-data schema and data dictionary are supplied so that the proposed experiment can be performed and analysed as an independently reproducible and falsifiable test. The accompanying ZIP archive is the complete, self-contained reproducibility package for the results reported here. It contains the code, simulation data, published GHZ rate summaries used as inputs, derived numerical outputs, documentation, software requirements and integrity checks required to reproduce the reported computational analyses and verify the packaged results. The archive contains: • the complete report in PDF, DOCX and Markdown formats;• deterministic Python reproduction scripts;• results from 500 density-matrix consistency trials;• 250,000 simulated stochastic trajectories;• 14,336 synthetic count-level circuit rows;• synthetic parameter-recovery and statistical-power results;• model-misspecification tests;• the published fitted GHZ rate summaries used in the retrospective analysis;• individual and joint GHZ profile-likelihood results;• prediction grids and report figures;• an empty 37-column template for future empirical raw data;• a data dictionary and preregistration template;• software-environment requirements and citation metadata; and• a SHA-256 manifest for package-integrity verification. The simulated trajectories and synthetic circuit counts are computational data rather than laboratory observations. The included GHZ inputs are published fitted rate summaries and are not original experimental shot counts. No new laboratory data are included, and no empirical discovery claim is made. Successful reproduction verifies that the supplied code generates the reported mathematical checks, simulations and retrospective statistical results. It does not establish that nature follows Candidate Equation 4A, demonstrate observer-induced collapse, or show that TWMSE is empirically preferred over standard quantum mechanics. The physical ideas, TWMSE framework, research direction and scientific interpretation are those of the author. Computational assistance was used for mathematical checking, simulation, statistical analysis, document preparation and reproducibility auditing. The author directed the research and accepts responsibility for the methodology, scientific claims, interpretations and conclusions. Candidate Equation 4A should therefore be understood as an explicit, internally testable and falsifiable phenomenological candidate that has passed the reported mathematical and computational consistency checks, remains compatible with the limited published summaries examined, and now requires the proposed dedicated raw-data experiment for a meaningful empirical test.
This document formulates a pre-registered falsification programme for entanglement and wavefunction-collapse phenomenology in open quantum systems. The framework adopts a register-oriented convention: an entangled AB preparation is represented as a single non-factorisable boundary-informational unit, while A and B denote locally addressable access components used in the operational workspace for control, marginalisation, tomography, and state-level entanglement readout. Measurement is described as apparatus-channel activation of an addressed logical sector. This convention fixes the interpretation of the symbols, but the tests are stated entirely in terms of operational diagnostics. The core programme compares reconstructed open-system descriptions through irreversible entropy production, entropy flux, Landauer-deficit variables, dissipator-level synchronisation, non-Markovian memory response, entanglement-sudden-death threshold timing, and Sagawa–Ueda feedback-information saturation. Five pre-registered predictions are stated. P-EC1 tests the collective-versus-local Landauer-deficit ordering in a bright-sector Dicke benchmark. P-EC2 tests the finite-rate approach of an apparatus-channel deficit toward the readout-completed asymptote under continuous diffusive monitoring, formulated on a stationary-window ensemble estimator. P-EC3 tests the spectral dependence of the non-Markovian Landauer-deficit excess. P-EC4 compares the first concurrence zero-crossing (entanglement-sudden-death threshold) with thermodynamic relaxation timing. P-EC5 tests Sagawa–Ueda bound-saturation and saturation-curve behaviour under feedback information, including an operational proxy mapping for the Yada et al. iterative-feedback anchor. Each prediction is assigned a status in a decision tree with positive controls, quantitative windows, consistency bands, platform anchors, and explicit fail conditions. The programme distinguishes worked-case consistency checks from independent-platform primary falsification tests, and separates core falsification claims from near-future or conditional routes. A boundary-clock extension is also recorded as a non-conservative layer with its own handles; its near-dark chart-inversion observable, tracked by the bounded marker η_chart(t) and the integrated observable 𝐼ₖ₅, is reported as a conditional outlook, not as a core prediction. The document therefore does not claim to derive the Born rule, prove an ontology of collapse, or modify standard quantum mechanics. It asks whether a specific boundary-persistence architecture survives a set of pre-registered operational tests.
