Phi‑Coupled E8 Root‑Vector Clocks Reveal a Fibonacci‑Scaled Quantum Decoherence Bound — E8 Intelligence Research
Andrew Stewart Caldin
Abstract
By treating the 240 E8 root vectors as phase‑locked oscillators driven at the base 132 Hz frequency with golden‑ratio coupling, adjacent Fibonacci‑indexed charge modes form hierarchical clusters whose decoherence rates obey a Fibonacci recursion. This yields a universal upper bound on error rates that scales as the inverse of successive Fibonacci numbers, improving the threshold for fault‑tolerant topological quantum computation. The bound arises from the interplay of the E8 lattice's symmetry, the golden‑ratio spectral‑gap undecidability, and the observed coherence‑collapse cascade.
