Coherence · Predictions & Hypotheses

Predictions & Hypotheses

A theory that cannot be tested is not a theory. This page lists what the Spectrum framework predicts — what has been tested against the published literature, what was refined or falsified, and what remains operationally testable.

Methodology

L1 testing: direct extraction from peer-reviewed primary sources · 2026-04-27

Epistemic categories

Each prediction below carries an A / B / C label indicating its epistemic status — whether it follows from the framework's core postulates, is a cross-disciplinary question testable independently, or is a lens-inspired hypothesis. The categories clarify what is at stake under falsification.

Classification system added 2026-05-08 in response to peer feedback on the epistemic status of predictions under the lens framing.

§25 · #37–40

Four predictions from the original manuscripts (2001–2023)

Re-reading the source notebooks surfaced four predictions written long before the relevant experiments matured. Two are confirmed via independent literature (STAR 2021 Breit-Wheeler, Verlinde & Brouwer 2017 emergent gravity); two remain open and directly testable.

Research · #15, #17, #18

Grid analyses — three pipelines with public Python source

Pair-production resonance peaks at harmonics of 1.022 MeV, Fermi-LAT GRB anisotropy fitting hexagonal/FCC/amorphous grid geometries, and non-linear Shapiro delay against pulsar-timing data. All scripts and plots openly published for replication.

Tested Against the Literature

Three predictions were benchmarked against primary peer-reviewed papers. One was falsified. The framework was refined. That is the point of doing this.

Bird RF-disruption sharper at 1.3 MHz (20 dB)

C · Hypothesis ❌ Falsified DOI:10.3389/fnbeh.2016.00007

The claim

Migratory birds show RF magnetoreception disruption that is 20 dB sharper around 1.3 MHz than off-frequency prediction would suggest.

Primary literature

Schwarze et al. 2016 (Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, Mouritsen lab, double-blinded): narrow-band 1.315 MHz @ 48 nT — birds remained oriented. Broadband ~2 kHz–9 MHz @ ~35 nT — fully disoriented. Authors verbatim: "we do not see a specifically sensitive effect at ~1.3 MHz."

What remains

Cryptochrome quantum magnetoreception is real (Xu/Hore/Mouritsen 2021 Nature). Reformulate as "broadband coherence disruption" rather than sharp Larmor-peak filter.

#33

Water-THz coherence × bird navigation

B · Curated ⚠️ Untested

The claim

Dehydration or disturbed water-THz network → reduced magnetoreceptive sensitivity.

Primary literature

No experiment in the consulted literature manipulated water-THz coherence in a bird navigation context. Xu/Hore/Mouritsen 2021 found magnetic sensitivity depends on four tryptophan residues in CRY4 — water-THz not a tested variable.

What remains

In principle falsifiable: dehydration + THz spectroscopy + navigation tests. Pollack/Del Giudice exclusion-zone water claims are themselves controversial — a clean test would first establish whether THz coherence is significantly disrupted by dehydration in biologically realistic ranges.

#34

H₀(z) = H₀_late / √(1+δz) — Hubble tension formula

A · Derived ⚠️ Partial

The claim

The apparent Hubble constant inferred by different probes rises monotonically at lower redshift, following H₀(z) = H₀_late / √(1+δz). This would explain the Hubble tension as a frequency-gradient effect rather than a systematic error.

Primary literature

Tested computationally (2026-05-06) against published H₀ measurements: Planck 2018 (z~1100, H₀=67.4), DESI Y1 BAO (z~0.8, H₀=68.5), H0LiCOW lensing (z~0.5, H₀=73.3), SH0ES Cepheid (z~0.01, H₀=73.0). The qualitative monotone pattern is present: lower-z probes give higher H₀. Quantitative fit gives δ≈0.0001 — near-zero, meaning the formula adds negligible explanatory power over a constant H₀. χ²/dof=9.9. The method-to-method scatter at the same z (H0LiCOW 73.3 vs TDCOSMO 67.4 at z≈0.5) exceeds the trend signal.

What remains

The qualitative pattern is real but the specific functional form is underdetermined. Reformulate: if δ were measured precisely at z=0.5 via a single method-independent probe (e.g. Euclid weak-lensing tomography), a non-zero δ at >3σ would confirm the gradient. DESI Year 3 (2026) and Vera Rubin LSST first-light data are the natural test.

#36

Schumann (7.83 Hz) × L-chirality

C · Hypothesis ❓ Open hypothesis DOI:10.1126/sciadv.adg8274

The claim

L-amino-acid organisms under prolonged 7.83 Hz (Schumann) ELF exposure show increased L-chirality in new protein synthesis.

Primary literature

No paper directly tests ELF effects on protein chirality ratios. Adjacent finding (added 2026-05-12): Ozturk, Liu, Sutherland & Sasselov (Science Advances, 2023, DOI 10.1126/sciadv.adg8274) achieved 60% enantiomeric excess of an RNA precursor by crystallisation on a magnetite surface via the chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect — reaching 100% homochirality after a second crystallisation. CISS is an experimentally established molecular coupling between electron spin and chirality (review: Chemical Reviews, doi 10.1021/acs.chemrev.3c00661). Caveat: the Ozturk demonstration uses static surface magnetisation, not an oscillating ELF field — so it validates the direction, not the Schumann-specific claim.

What remains

The direction (magnetism couples to chirality) is now supported by CISS literature; the specific 7.83 Hz ELF claim remains untested. Two distinct open questions: (i) whether oscillating low-frequency EM can drive CISS-like spin selection at all (a physics question, separate from Ozturk's static-field result), and (ii) the original operational test — bacterial protein synthesis in a 7.83 Hz AC field vs. control, measured via chiral HPLC.

#1

Resolution-dependent deviations at LHC energies

A · Derived ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Particle collisions at LHC energies show systematic non-Gaussian patterns in position measurements that exceed Heisenberg uncertainty alone — signature of a discrete grid (resolution limit).

Test protocol

Statistical analysis of LHC datasets for non-Gaussian patterns at extreme energies. Requires: ≥10⁷ collision events at √s ≥ 13 TeV, position uncertainty distributions, model-independent deviation test.

Falsification condition

Falsified if LHC collision data shows no non-Gaussian signature in position uncertainty distributions beyond 3σ above the Heisenberg baseline across ≥10⁷ collision events at √s ≥ 13 TeV.

Bridge to existing science

Loop Quantum Gravity (Rovelli, Smolin) predicts a discrete spacetime lattice at the Planck scale.

#2

Resonance frequencies accelerate chemical reactions

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Reactions exposed to ultrasonic frequencies matched to molecular eigenfrequencies proceed measurably faster than agitation alone explains.

Test protocol

Controlled experiment: identical reactions with and without targeted ultrasonic frequency. Measure rate and yield. Requires: ≥3 independent reaction pairs, frequency-matched vs. off-frequency vs. silent control, rate measured at identical energy input.

Falsification condition

Falsified if matched-frequency exposure produces ≤5% reaction-rate enhancement over off-frequency control at p<0.05 in ≥3 independent experiments on distinct reaction pairs, after controlling for cavitation effects.

Bridge to existing science

Sonochemistry already shows non-trivial rate enhancement (Suslick, Science 1990). Spectrum predicts frequency-specificity beyond cavitation.

#3

Dark matter as nano-Hz background resonance

A · Derived ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Dark matter manifests as extremely low-frequency background oscillation — detectable via gravitational-wave detectors in the nano-Hz range.

Test protocol

Pulsar Timing Array data (NANOGrav 15yr, public) analysed for resonance peaks not explained by known gravitational-wave sources. Specific target: spectral lines at frequencies predicted from halo-density models.

Falsification condition

Falsified if NANOGrav 15-year dataset shows no statistically significant spectral line in the PTA background after subtracting the modelled gravitational-wave background, at p<0.01 with correction for multiple frequency bins.

Bridge to existing science

NANOGrav (2023) detected a stochastic gravitational-wave background — interpretation is open.

#4

Cell membrane oscillations at characteristic frequencies

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Cell membranes oscillate at frequencies predictable per cell type from mass and composition — each cell type has a characteristic eigenfrequency.

Test protocol

High-precision membrane oscillation measurement via AFM or optical trapping on ≥10 distinct cell types, correlated with predicted eigenfrequency (calculated from membrane mass/area/tension).

Falsification condition

Falsified if AFM measurement of ≥10 distinct cell types shows correlation coefficient r<0.3 between predicted eigenfrequency (from membrane mass and composition) and measured primary oscillation peak, across ≥3 independent labs.

Bridge to existing science

Popp biophoton measurements support frequency-specificity. Direct membrane measurement is the next step.

#5

Multi-slit interferometer as frequency meter

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

An unknown radiation frequency can be determined precisely from the interference pattern in a multi-slit setup using λ = (d × Δy) / D.

Test protocol

Blind test: measure interference pattern, derive frequency via λ = (d × Δy) / D, compare with known source. Extend to unconventional frequency bands (sub-THz, ELF).

Falsification condition

Falsified if frequency derived from interference pattern deviates from known source frequency by >1% in ≥3 controlled calibration experiments in non-standard frequency bands (below 1 GHz or above 100 THz).

Bridge to existing science

Diffraction is established physics. Spectrum claims extension into unconventional frequency bands as a universal frequency meter.

#6

Megalithic stone eigenfrequencies in the human vocal range

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Andesite, granite, and dolerite blocks used in megalithic constructions have eigenfrequencies in the human vocal range (20 Hz – 5 kHz).

Test protocol

Impulse-response measurement (hammer + accelerometer) on ≥20 megalithic blocks at ≥3 sites of varying composition and geometry. Record first three resonance modes per block.

Falsification condition

Falsified if ≥70% of tested megalithic blocks show all primary resonance peaks outside the 20 Hz – 5 kHz range, or if the distribution is indistinguishable from random-geometry quarried blocks of the same material.

Bridge to existing science

Stonehenge acoustics already studied (Till & Fazenda, JASA 2012). Feasible with existing equipment.

#7

Biophoton coherence as a measure of practitioner state

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Long-term qigong / tai chi practitioners (>5 years, >3 sessions/week) show higher biophoton coherence than non-practitioners, measurable via Popp's biophoton detection protocol.

Test protocol

Comparative study: ≥30 practitioners vs. ≥30 age-matched controls, biophoton emission measured before and after a standardised 60-minute practice session, blinded analysis.

Falsification condition

Falsified if practitioners show no statistically significant biophoton coherence difference versus matched controls at p<0.05 in both pre-session and post-session measurements, in ≥2 independent studies.

Bridge to existing science

Popp's measurement protocol exists. Glen Rein has done comparable work on intention-experiments.

#8

Piezoelectric activation of granite at acoustic resonance

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Granite blocks (20–60% quartz) generate measurable electrical voltage when exposed to acoustic excitation at their eigenfrequency.

Test protocol

Block on insulator → acoustic excitation at calculated eigenfrequency → measure voltage with oscilloscope. Control: excitation at off-resonance frequency. Predict: ≥100 nV at resonance, <10 nV off-resonance.

Falsification condition

Falsified if ≥5 independent granite blocks show <50 nV voltage signal at their calculated acoustic eigenfrequency, or if the resonance/off-resonance voltage ratio is ≤2× in blinded measurements.

Bridge to existing science

Quartz piezoelectricity is established. Scaling to block-level is feasible with existing instruments.

#9

Group EM field amplification under heart coherence

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

A group of people in coherent meditation generates a measurably stronger local EM field than the same group in a non-coherent state.

Test protocol

SQUID magnetometer measurements (μT range) around a group of ≥10 people before, during, and after synchronous heart-coherence exercise (HeartMath protocol). Blinded comparison to non-coherent baseline.

Falsification condition

Falsified if ≥5 independent group sessions show no statistically significant local EM-field difference (>2σ) between coherent heart-meditation and non-coherent baseline, using calibrated SQUID magnetometers in shielded environments.

Bridge to existing science

HeartMath has measured individual coherence. Group-level EM-field extension is the novel claim.

#10

Chiral-selective resonance

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Two reactions with identical molecules but opposite chirality respond measurably differently at specific resonance frequencies — even without asymmetric catalysts.

Test protocol

Identical reactions, separated enantiomers, exposed to the same resonance frequency. Measure rate and yield for L vs. D form. Minimum detectable difference: 5% rate enhancement at p<0.05.

Falsification condition

Falsified if ≥3 enantiomer pairs under targeted resonance frequencies show reaction-rate differences ≤2% between L and D forms at p<0.05, after controlling for cavitation and thermal effects.

Bridge to existing science

CISS effect (PNAS 2022) confirms chirality acts as a physical filter on spin-polarised electrons.

#11

DNA carrier-wave emission above biophoton background

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Living cells emit coherent EM oscillations at the fundamental frequency of their DNA helix — measurable above the biophoton background via interferometry at nano-Hertz resolution.

Test protocol

Compare EM emission of cells with intact DNA vs. fragmented DNA (DNase-treated); intact should show a coherent peak at the DNA helix frequency. Photomultiplier + interferometric setup, blinded analysis, ≥3 independent replicates.

Falsification condition

Falsified if EM emission spectra of intact-DNA cells show no coherent peak distinguishable from DNase-fragmented cells in ≥3 independent photomultiplier measurements using blinded spectral analysis.

Bridge to existing science

Popp biophotons confirm coherent cellular emission. The hypothesis specifies that the DNA helix is the carrier.

#12

φ-resonance in plant growth

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Plants exposed to sound at frequencies in φ-ratio to their base cell frequency grow faster than at random frequencies.

Test protocol

Identical plants (same species, batch, pot size), three sound conditions (φ-ratio frequency / random frequency / silence). Measure stem length, leaf count, and dry weight over 4 weeks. n≥20 per group.

Falsification condition

Falsified if φ-frequency exposed plants show ≤5% growth difference (stem length or dry weight) versus random-frequency and silent controls at p<0.05 across ≥3 independent trials of n≥20 plants per group.

Bridge to existing science

Phyllotaxis (137.5° = 360°/φ²) shows plants already grow on φ-patterns. The hypothesis predicts external φ-frequencies amplify this.

#13

EM-vacuum cross-modulation in Casimir configuration

A · Derived ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Closely-spaced conductors in a Casimir geometry, exposed to asymmetric pulsed EM fields, show measurable force deviations beyond the classical Casimir effect that cannot be attributed to ion wind, thermal drift, or electrostatic artefacts. The vacuum substrate is modulatable via EM — not merely a passive zero-point sea.

Test protocol

Replicate calibrated Casimir setup with sensitive force sensors. Apply asymmetric pulsed EM field; measure force vs. classical Casimir baseline. Vary EM geometry and frequency. Control rigorously for thermal, magnetic, electrostatic, and ion-wind artefacts. Repeat across ≥3 independent laboratories.

Falsification condition

Falsified if asymmetric pulsed EM in calibrated Casimir geometry produces force deviation ≤2% above classical Casimir baseline at p<0.05 in ≥3 independent replications, after ruling out ion wind, thermal drift, and electrostatic artefacts.

Bridge to existing science

Casimir effect is established physics (Casimir 1948; Lamoreaux 1997). The grid model predicts the substrate responds to field geometry beyond passive zero-point — a measurable cross-modulation signal at force-sensor precision.

#14

Vacuum remanence — grid memory after EM pulse

A · Derived ⬤ Open +

Prediction

After a strong, short EM pulse in high vacuum, the substrate retains a measurable energy trace — a delayed echo signal at lower amplitude and shifted frequency, briefly persisting after the original pulse has dissipated. Standard QFT predicts no such echo; a positive detection would be a smoking-gun signature of the grid model.

Test protocol

Generate intense, short EM pulse in ultra-high-vacuum chamber. Detect with ultra-sensitive receivers tuned for sub-quantum-noise echo signals. Vary pulse strength and verify proportional echo-amplitude scaling. Control for wall reflections, thermal effects, residual-gas re-radiation, and Casimir background.

Falsification condition

Falsified if no echo signal above quantum noise floor is detected after ≥10 calibrated EM pulses in high vacuum across ≥2 independent laboratories, after ruling out wall reflections, thermal effects, and residual-gas re-radiation.

Bridge to existing science

Standard quantum field theory predicts no echo from vacuum after a passing pulse — the vacuum is purely passive. The grid model predicts grid cells passively store and re-emit energy on a short timescale, producing a measurable signature.

#16

Decoherence as grid energy dissipation

A · Derived ⬤ Open +

Prediction

When an entangled quantum system decoheres, a minute but consistent amount of energy is dissipated into the grid substrate. Standard quantum mechanics predicts exact energy conservation during decoherence; any measurable, reproducible energy deficit would indicate the grid as a physical substrate that absorbs coherence on collapse.

Test protocol

Prepare entangled photon pair in controlled environment. Measure total energy before and after decoherence with calorimetric precision. Look for consistent energy deficit not explained by detection efficiency or thermal effects. Vary decoherence type (thermal, mechanical, photonic) and verify the loss is constant per decoherence event.

Falsification condition

Falsified if blinded calorimetric measurement across ≥2 independent calorimetry-grade quantum systems shows energy balance consistent with QM-predicted exact conservation at p>0.05, after sufficient event counts to resolve a hypothesised dissipation at the calorimeter's noise floor.

Bridge to existing science

Decoherence theory (Zurek, Joos, Zeh) treats decoherence as wavefunction–environment entanglement with no net energy loss to the system. The grid model predicts a small but measurable dissipation into the substrate itself — a class of test that is currently at the edge of available calorimetry.

#19

φ-spaced frequency series increase HRV coherence

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Frequency series spaced in φ-ratio produce measurably more heart coherence (HRV) than randomly spaced frequencies during passive listening — independent of base frequency.

Test protocol

Three conditions: φ-spaced series, random series, silence. HRV (HeartMath protocol: LF/HF ratio, coherence score) as outcome measure. ≥50 subjects, crossover design, blinded analysis.

Falsification condition

Falsified if ≥50 subjects show HRV coherence score statistically indistinguishable between φ-spaced and randomly-spaced frequency series at p>0.05 in blinded crossover measurement.

Bridge to existing science

φ-frequencies minimise destructive interference → standing waves remain stable longer → biological systems can phase-lock more easily.

#20

Relativistic gradient predicts periodic-table anomalies

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

The gradient of relativistic effects through the periodic table is monotonic with atomic number, and the anomalies (Hg liquid, Au yellow, Cs lowest ionisation energy) are predictable from one relativistic correction factor per element.

Test protocol

Largely confirmed by Pyykkö (1988); the proposal here is to reframe these as confirmation that heavier elements occupy lower Compton frequencies, and to predict the next anomaly in the superheavy element series (Z=113–118).

Falsification condition

Falsified if superheavy elements Z=113–118 show properties that cannot be predicted from the monotonic relativistic-correction-factor model, or if the factor requires separate free parameters per anomaly (i.e., is not predictive).

Bridge to existing science

Pyykkö 1988: relativistic quantum chemistry. Spectrum reframes the relativistic gradient as a frequency-scale phenomenon.

#21

φ-frequencies increase biophoton coherence

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

External exposure to φ-spaced frequency series measurably raises biophoton coherence in cell cultures or skin measurements.

Test protocol

Cell culture or Popp-detector measurement → baseline → φ-frequency exposure vs. random series vs. silence → repeat measurement. ≥3 independent replicates, blinded spectral analysis.

Falsification condition

Falsified if ≥3 independent cell-culture experiments show biophoton coherence change ≤10% between φ-spaced exposure and random-frequency control after 30-minute exposure, using blinded photomultiplier analysis at p>0.05.

Bridge to existing science

Popp's protocol exists. DNA φ-geometry (Harel 2021) suggests φ-frequencies should couple constructively.

#22

Vibration theory of olfaction

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Two molecules with identical infrared vibrational signatures but different shapes smell identical or very similar — even when chemically unrelated.

Test protocol

Synthesise molecule pairs with matched vibrational profiles (IR spectrum) but distinct geometries. Blinded smell test with ≥30 trained assessors + olfactory receptor activation measurement. Predict: >70% confusion between matched-vibration pairs.

Falsification condition

Falsified if a blinded panel of ≥30 trained assessors reliably distinguishes (>80% accuracy) molecule pairs with matched vibrational profiles but distinct geometries, or if receptor activation profiles are distinct for matched-vibration pairs.

Bridge to existing science

Turin's vibration theory has competing experimental support; a clean test of matched-vibration / different-shape molecules has not yet been done definitively.

#23

Three-domain coherence at 0.2 Hz breath rate

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Breathing at ~0.2 Hz (one breath per 5 seconds) produces simultaneous coherence in HRV, EEG-theta, and biophoton emission — more than at any other breath rate.

Test protocol

Three conditions: spontaneous breath, 0.2 Hz paced, 0.1 Hz paced. Measure HRV coherence + EEG-theta power + Popp biophotons simultaneously. ≥20 subjects. Predicted maximum coherence in all three at 0.2 Hz.

Falsification condition

Falsified if ≥20 subjects show no simultaneous peak in all three domains (HRV, EEG-theta, biophoton) at 0.2 Hz vs. 0.1 Hz or spontaneous, in blinded crossover analysis at p<0.05.

Bridge to existing science

Slow breathing already known to enhance HRV coherence. Three-domain simultaneous measurement is the novel test.

#24

Planetary frequency ratios cluster at φ

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

If the spectrum is scale-invariant, harmonic ratios between planetary frequencies (Earth rotation, precession, galactic year) should show the same φ-clustering as molecular vibrational spectra and biological rhythms.

Test protocol

Statistical analysis of frequency ratios across the full table → compute ratio distribution → test for φ-clustering against a permutation-derived null distribution. Requires: complete planetary-frequency table, ≥10,000 permutations.

Falsification condition

Falsified if statistical analysis of planetary-frequency ratios shows φ-clustering indistinguishable from a random distribution at p<0.05 using a permutation test with ≥10,000 samples.

Bridge to existing science

Phyllotaxis demonstrates φ-selection in biology. Planetary spacing (Bode's law) suggests something analogous at solar-system scale.

#25

Chiral asymmetry in matter-antimatter annihilation

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

The annihilation cross-section of chiral molecules with their anti-chiral partners differs measurably from achiral matter-antimatter pairs — chirality adds a measurable modulation to the annihilation spectrum.

Test protocol

In principle testable at particle accelerators (CERN, FAIR) with chiral molecular ions. Requires: ion beam of known chirality, positron target, precision cross-section measurement.

Falsification condition

Falsified if annihilation cross-section of chiral molecular ions equals that of achiral pairs within 1% measurement uncertainty across ≥3 independent accelerator experiments.

Bridge to existing science

Antimatter symmetry tested for fundamental particles; chiral-molecule antimatter symmetry remains unprobed.

#26

Proton mass from grid parameters alone

A · Derived ⬤ Open +

Prediction

If mass results from wave interaction with the grid, and Higgs coupling contributes only ~1%, then proton mass should be derivable from grid wave-interaction parameters alone — without quark masses as input.

Test protocol

Lattice QCD already approaches this (~5% accuracy, Dürr et al., Science 2008). A grid-model deriving proton mass from grid parameters would strongly support the framework.

Falsification condition

Falsified if a grid-model calculation requires quark masses as a free input parameter to achieve >85% proton-mass accuracy — i.e., if grid parameters alone cannot reproduce the known proton mass (938.3 MeV) within 15% without quark-mass tuning.

Bridge to existing science

Lattice QCD: 99% of proton mass is emergent from field interactions, not from fundamental mass parameters.

#27

Force-mode cross-talk near extreme grid density

A · Derived ⬤ Open +

Prediction

If the four fundamental forces are four modes of one grid substrate, then near extreme grid density (black hole, neutron star surface) measurable cross-talk should appear between normally decoupled force modes.

Test protocol

Simultaneous gravitational-wave and neutrino observation of neutron-star mergers (LIGO + IceCube/KM3NeT). Test: does neutrino flux show amplitude modulation correlated with the gravitational chirp signal?

Falsification condition

Falsified if simultaneous LIGO + IceCube observations of ≥5 neutron-star mergers show neutrino flux completely uncorrelated with gravitational-wave amplitude modulation at p>0.05 in blind cross-correlation analysis.

Bridge to existing science

Multimessenger astronomy already combines gravitational-wave + EM observations; neutrino-gravitational-wave correlation under extreme conditions is the proposed extension.

#28

Titius–Bode-like spacing in exoplanetary systems

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Discrete stable orbits with logarithmic spacing appear at multiple scales — atomic (Bohr orbitals, n²-spacing), planetary (Titius–Bode, log-spacing), and galactic (spiral-arm density waves). This is a structural parallel, not a claim of identical dynamics. If a single substrate-resonance mechanism underlies all three, exoplanetary systems should statistically show Titius–Bode-like spacing — independent of star type or planet mass.

Test protocol

Statistical analysis of the Kepler exoplanet catalogue (4,000+ planets across multi-planet systems). Compute orbital-spacing ratios; compare against a permutation-derived null distribution of randomised spacings. Predict: the observed distribution shows TB-pattern clustering significantly above chance.

Falsification condition

Falsified if statistical analysis of the full Kepler multi-planet sample shows orbital-spacing distribution indistinguishable from randomised null at p<0.05 using ≥10,000 permutations, after controlling for observational selection bias.

Bridge to existing science

Bovaird & Lineweaver (2013, MNRAS) reported finding that ~75% of multi-planet Kepler systems show Titius–Bode-like patterns. The empirical pattern is present in the data; there is no widely accepted dynamical mechanism. The grid model proposes one: scale-invariant resonance producing discrete stable orbits at each scale.

#29

Granite scoop-marks as ultrasonic-tool signatures

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

If granite scoop-marks (Egypt) were made by an ultrasonic tool resonating at quartz eigenfrequency, the marks should show: (a) higher quartz concentration along the cut edge, (b) piezoelectric polarisation traces in SEM/EDS analysis, (c) reproducibility with calibrated ultrasonic tooling on Aswan granite.

Test protocol

SEM/EDS of ≥10 mark edges vs. ≥10 uncut reference surfaces; modern reproduction with calibrated ultrasonic tool at quartz lattice frequency (~20 kHz) on Aswan granite.

Falsification condition

Falsified if SEM/EDS analysis of ≥10 scoop-mark samples shows no statistically significant quartz enrichment at cut edges vs. uncut surface, and no piezoelectric polarisation traces distinguishable from random mechanical cutting.

Bridge to existing science

Quartz piezoelectricity established. The archaeological claim is testable via materials science.

#30

THz-TDS signature of cargo-modulated water

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Plasma and urine samples, before and after standardised intake of a well-characterised compound (e.g. vitamin D3 5000 IU), show distinct THz-TDS signatures in the 0.5–3 THz band at peak plasma concentration.

Test protocol

≥20 healthy subjects, baseline + 4-hour post-intake plasma/urine sample, THz-TDS measurement at both timepoints. Blinded spectral comparison. Peak concentration window: 3–5 hours post D3 oral intake.

Falsification condition

Falsified if blinded THz-TDS analysis of ≥20 subjects shows plasma/urine spectra at 4-hour post-intake statistically indistinguishable from baseline in the 0.5–3 THz band at p>0.05 (corrected for multiple comparisons).

Bridge to existing science

THz spectroscopy of biological water is an active research area. Novel claim: dissolved cargo modulates the water-THz network in a compound-specific, measurable way.

#31

Biophoton emission correlates with hair-pigmentation transition

B · Curated ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Subjects in active grey-transition phase (visibly mixed pigmentation) show distinct biophoton emission patterns at the follicle, depending on zone (fully pigmented / mixed / fully grey).

Test protocol

≥30 subjects, photomultiplier tube in dark chamber, three zones per subject, Popp-style protocol. Blinded zone labelling. Predict: monotone decrease in coherence from pigmented → grey zone.

Falsification condition

Falsified if biophoton emission from pigmented, mixed, and grey follicle zones is statistically indistinguishable in ≥30 subjects using Popp-protocol photomultiplier measurement in blinded analysis at p>0.05.

Bridge to existing science

Popp emission patterns vary with metabolic state. Hair pigmentation transition is a well-defined, measurable metabolic shift.

#41

MEG coherence-radius expansion under 5-HT2A blockade

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Under the filter hypothesis (brain as frequency-filter of consciousness), pharmacologically reducing 5-HT2A receptor activity should produce a measurable expansion of the spatial coherence radius of the brain's magnetic field, detectable via MEG at greater distance from the skull than baseline. The amplitude need not increase; the spatial extent of phase-coherent activity should.

Test protocol

MEG measurement before, during, and after administration of a clinically approved 5-HT2A antagonist, in a blinded crossover design. Compute spatial coherence radius (e.g. extent of phase-locked oscillations across sensor array) and compare against baseline. Predict: radius expands during blockade, returns to baseline after washout.

Falsification condition

Falsified if MEG measurement under 5-HT2A blockade shows spatial coherence-radius indistinguishable from baseline in ≥2 independent crossover studies at p>0.05, after controlling for amplitude effects, motion artefacts, and pharmacokinetic timing.

Bridge to existing science

McFadden CEMI theory (J. Consciousness Studies, 2013 — closed-loop update of 2002 original) treats consciousness as a coherent EM field that couples back to the neurons. The filter hypothesis (Bergson 1896 → James 1898 → Huxley 1954 → Pribram 1991 → McFadden 2002/2013) holds the brain reduces rather than produces conscious content. The grid extension: less filtering corresponds to wider phase-coherent coupling to the substrate.

#42

Hardness gates chiral inversion (Mohs ↔ inversion energy)

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

The energy required to invert the chirality of a molecule embedded in a solid matrix should scale with the hardness of that matrix on the Mohs scale (or Vickers/Knoop). Introduced in Chapter 2½ as a consequence of the Law of Interaction (P1: surface as amplitude boundary, P6: amplitude-asymmetry).

Test protocol

Chiral guest molecules embedded in mineral lattices of varying hardness; measure inversion barriers via temperature-dependent NMR or polarimetry. Predict: a monotone correlation between matrix hardness and inversion energy across host materials. (Specific sample size, hardness range, and statistical threshold to be set by experimentalist.)

Falsification condition

Falsified if measured chiral inversion barriers show no monotone correlation with matrix hardness across a representative set of host materials in independent replication.

Bridge to existing science

The Mohs scale is empirically well-defined and routinely calibrated against indentation hardness. Chiral inversion barriers are routinely measured via Eyring/Arrhenius analysis. The Coherence claim is a cross-scale coupling between mechanical hardness and chemical inversion energy.

#43

Forensic phase-information limit

C · Hypothesis ⬤ Open +

Prediction

Forensic reconstruction of impact-fragmented samples has a fundamental information-theoretic limit set by phase-information loss at the impact event. Two impacts producing visually similar wreckage from chemically identical starting materials should be distinguishable by fragment-orientation entropy only above a threshold collision energy. Below that threshold, classification is not theoretically possible. Introduced in Chapter 2½ as a consequence of P2 (impact as decoherence).

Test protocol

Pairs of impact-fragmented samples (chemically identical starting materials, controlled collision energies bracketing a predicted threshold). Measure fragment-orientation entropy and compare blinded classification accuracy above vs. below the threshold. (Specific energy thresholds and sample sizes to be set by experimentalist.)

Falsification condition

Falsified if classification accuracy of impact-fragmented sample pairs shows no threshold behaviour — i.e. only smooth monotonic decay with collision energy, without a discontinuity — across distinct material classes in blinded experiments.

Bridge to existing science

Information theory and the decoherence program (Zurek) both predict information loss in irreversible interaction events. The Coherence claim is a measurable phase-information threshold for forensic reconstruction at a specific collision-energy scale.

Time-cumulative cymatic structure in colloidal suspensions

Prediction

Sustained low-frequency mechanical bombardment (cymatics-time experiments) of an initially uniform colloidal suspension should produce stable banded structures whose mode frequencies match integer multiples of the driving frequency, in proportion to exposure duration. Introduced in Chapter 2½ as a consequence of P4 (cumulative bombardment as structure formation).

Test protocol

Sustained low-frequency excitation of colloidal suspensions for varying exposure durations; measure stability of resulting banded structures. Compare against short-exposure controls. Predict: stability scales with exposure duration beyond the instantaneous Faraday-wave response. (Specific exposure intervals and suspension types to be set by experimentalist.)

Falsification condition

Falsified if sustained low-frequency excitation of colloidal suspensions shows no exposure-time-dependent structure formation beyond the instantaneous Faraday-wave response, in independent replication.

Bridge to existing science

Kharbedia et al. (Nature Communications 2021, doi 10.1038/s41467-021-21403-0) showed that soluble (bio)surfactants can freeze Faraday-wave patterns into stable 2D-hydrodynamic crystals via surface-rigidity coupling at short timescales. The Coherence claim extends this to time-cumulative dependence in bulk colloidal suspensions.
