Falsification Criteria​

Frontier ledger

Head-to-head predictions against competing theories at every live experimental frontier — Frontier Ledger.

Experimental Predictions​

The extended theory makes testable predictions:

1. Isospectral discrimination​

Two states ρ1\rho_1, ρ2\rho_2 with Spec(ρ1)=Spec(ρ2)\mathrm{Spec}(\rho_1) = \mathrm{Spec}(\rho_2) but Eigvec(ρ1)≠Eigvec(ρ2)\mathrm{Eigvec}(\rho_1) \neq \mathrm{Eigvec}(\rho_2) should yield:

  • Identical experience intensity (spectrum determines intensity)
  • Distinguishable experience quality (eigenvectors determine quality)

Numerical criteria:

  • Spectra 'identical': ∥Spec(ρ1)−Spec(ρ2)∥2<εspec=0.01\|\mathrm{Spec}(\rho_1) - \mathrm{Spec}(\rho_2)\|_2 < \varepsilon_{\text{spec}} = 0.01
  • Vectors 'distinguishable': min⁡i∣⟨vi(1)∣vi(2)⟩∣<1−εvec\min_i |\langle v_i^{(1)} | v_i^{(2)} \rangle| < 1 - \varepsilon_{\text{vec}}, where εvec=0.1\varepsilon_{\text{vec}} = 0.1
  • Quality 'distinguishable': dFS([∣q1⟩],[∣q2⟩])>εqual=0.05d_{\text{FS}}([|q_1\rangle], [|q_2\rangle]) > \varepsilon_{\text{qual}} = 0.05 rad

Test: Create isospectral neural states, measure phenomenal reports.

2. Contextual modulation​

Changing context Γ−E\Gamma_{-E} with fixed ρE\rho_E should alter the quality of experience without changing intensity.

Numerical criteria:

  • ρE\rho_E 'fixed': ∥ρE(1)−ρE(2)∥F<ερ=0.02\|\rho_E^{(1)} - \rho_E^{(2)}\|_F < \varepsilon_{\rho} = 0.02
  • Context 'changed': ∥Γ−E(1)−Γ−E(2)∥F>δΓ=0.1\|\Gamma_{-E}^{(1)} - \Gamma_{-E}^{(2)}\|_F > \delta_{\Gamma} = 0.1
  • Intensity 'constant': ∣Tr((ρE(1))2)−Tr((ρE(2))2)∣<εP=0.05|\mathrm{Tr}((\rho_E^{(1)})^2) - \mathrm{Tr}((\rho_E^{(2)})^2)| < \varepsilon_P = 0.05
  • Quality 'changed': phenomenal report distinguishable with p<0.01p < 0.01 (statistical test)

Test: Modulate context (attention, mood) at constant stimulus, measure changes in perceptual quality.

3. Adaptation dynamics​

Experiential content (levels L1–L2) should follow the adaptation law:

Q(t)∼log⁡(λmax⁡(t)⟨λmax⁡⟩τ)\mathcal{Q}(t) \sim \log\left(\frac{\lambda_{\max}(t)}{\langle\lambda_{\max}\rangle_\tau}\right)

where:

  • Q(t)\mathcal{Q}(t) — subjective experience intensity at time tt
  • λmax⁡(t)\lambda_{\max}(t) — maximum eigenvalue of Γ(t)\Gamma(t)
  • ⟨λmax⁡⟩τ\langle\lambda_{\max}\rangle_\tau — average over adaptation period τ\tau
Interpretation

This prediction follows from the fact that perception encodes changes relative to baseline (Weber-Fechner law), not absolute values.

Numerical criteria:

  • Correlation r(Qmeasured,Qpredicted)>rmin⁡=0.7r(\mathcal{Q}_{\text{measured}}, \mathcal{Q}_{\text{predicted}}) > r_{\min} = 0.7
  • Regression slope β∈[0.8,1.2]\beta \in [0.8, 1.2] (close to 1)
  • RMSE <σQ/2< \sigma_{\mathcal{Q}} / 2 (error less than half the standard deviation)
  • Adaptation period τ∈[100,1000]\tau \in [100, 1000] ms (typical range)

Test: Measure the temporal dynamics of adaptation, compare with prediction.

4. Metric relations​

Distances in phenomenal space (L1) should correspond to the Fubini-Study metric:

dperceived(q1,q2)∼dFS([∣q1⟩],[∣q2⟩])d_{\mathrm{perceived}}(q_1, q_2) \sim d_{\mathrm{FS}}([|q_1\rangle], [|q_2\rangle])

where [∣q⟩]∈P(HE)[|q\rangle] \in \mathbb{P}(\mathcal{H}_E) — equivalence class in projective space.

Numerical criteria:

  • Spearman correlation ρS(dperceived,dFS)>0.6\rho_S(d_{\text{perceived}}, d_{\text{FS}}) > 0.6
  • Monotonicity: violations <10%< 10\% of the total number of pairs
  • Metric consistency: ∣d(a,b)+d(b,c)−d(a,c)∣<ε△=0.15|d(a,b) + d(b,c) - d(a,c)| < \varepsilon_{\triangle} = 0.15 (triangle inequality)
  • MDS reconstruction: stress <0.1< 0.1 when mapping to Rk\mathbb{R}^k

Test: Build a phenomenal quality map (L1), compare with predicted geometry.

Refutation Criterion​

The theory is falsified if:

∃ρ1,ρ2:I(ρ1)=I(ρ2), but F(ρ1)≠F(ρ2)\exists \rho_1, \rho_2 : \mathcal{I}(\rho_1) = \mathcal{I}(\rho_2), \text{ but } F(\rho_1) \neq F(\rho_2)

where:

  • I(ρ):=(Spec(ρ),Eigvec(ρ),Γ−E,Hist)\mathcal{I}(\rho) := (\mathrm{Spec}(\rho), \mathrm{Eigvec}(\rho), \Gamma_{-E}, \mathrm{Hist}) — full invariant
  • F:DensityMat→ExpF: \mathbf{DensityMat} \to \mathbf{Exp} — experience functor

That is, if two states with identical full invariants (spectrum + eigenvectors + context + history) yield distinguishable experience.

Gauge precision [T]

The G2G_2-rigidity theorem [T] refines the notion of 'identity': two states ρ1,ρ2\rho_1, \rho_2 are considered physically identical if ρ2=Uρ1U†\rho_2 = U\rho_1 U^\dagger for some UU in the finite octonionic frame group Γ ⁣oct⊂G2\Gamma_{\!\text{oct}} \subset G_2 — a relabelling of the functional axes (frame decision D-0910). The full invariant I(ρ)\mathcal{I}(\rho) is therefore defined on D(C7)/Γ ⁣oct\mathcal{D}(\mathbb{C}^7)/\Gamma_{\!\text{oct}} (48 parameters); its G2G_2-orbit part (34 parameters: spectrum and φ3\varphi_3-relative angles) is invariant even before the frame is pinned. The eigenvectors in the table below are taken in the pinned functional frame; under a relabelling vi→Uviv_i \to Uv_i the inner products ∣⟨vi(1)∣vi(2)⟩∣|\langle v_i^{(1)} | v_i^{(2)} \rangle| are unchanged.

Operational tolerances:

Eigenvectors∀i:∣⟨vi(1)∣vi(2)⟩∣>0.99\forall i: \lvert\langle v_i^{(1)} \vert v_i^{(2)} \rangle\rvert > 0.99

Interiority'Distinguishability' criterion
Phenomenal reportStatistically distinguishable (p<0.01p < 0.01, Wilcoxon test)
Behavioural markerAUC > 0.7 in discrimination task
Practical criterion

For experimental verification it is sufficient to compare the spectrum and eigenvectors (without history): if spec(ρ1)=spec(ρ2)\mathrm{spec}(\rho_1) = \mathrm{spec}(\rho_2) and ∣qi(1)⟩=∣qi(2)⟩|q_i^{(1)}\rangle = |q_i^{(2)}\rangle, but F(ρ1)≠F(ρ2)\mathcal{F}(\rho_1) \neq \mathcal{F}(\rho_2), the theory is falsified.

What this criterion is — and what it is not

Spectrum and eigenvectors determine ρ\rho, and Γ−E\Gamma_{-E} together with Hist\mathrm{Hist} complete the state. The criterion above therefore says that experience is a function of the full state (Γ,Hist)(\Gamma, \mathrm{Hist}) — a supervenience claim. It is falsifiable only jointly with a fixed reconstruction protocol πbio\pi_{\mathrm{bio}} (frame pinned by the frame decision D-0910, gauge-fixing choices published per R8), and by itself it does not predict which experience a state carries. The theory's contentful falsifiers are the numerical ones: P(Γwake)>2/7>P(ΓNREM3)P(\Gamma_{\mathrm{wake}}) > 2/7 > P(\Gamma_{\mathrm{NREM3}}) and the monotone Φ\Phi–PCI relation (P8.3) in the measurement protocol, the No-Zombie simulation criterion S1–S3 in CC Theorems, and the physics rows of the frontier ledger. Where these numerical falsifiers stand against the substitution argument of Kleiner & Hoel is a theorem of the measurement protocol: calibration on report-labelled sessions is on the strict-dependence horn, a test with parameters frozen in advance is on the independence horn, and a lenient dependency exists at best inside a declared domain [H]. Until 2026-09-25 the reference estimator of πbio\pi_{\mathrm{bio}} contained a viability penalty that reconstructed every sub-threshold state of the uniform family at P=2/7P = 2/7 exactly, so P(ΓNREM3)<2/7P(\Gamma_{\mathrm{NREM3}}) < 2/7 could not be observed; the penalty is removed (SUB-2).

Note on operationalisation

The full invariant I(ρ)=(Spec,Eigvec,Γ−E,Hist)\mathcal{I}(\rho) = (\mathrm{Spec}, \mathrm{Eigvec}, \Gamma_{-E}, \mathrm{Hist}) is a theoretical ideal. Operational realisation:

  • Spec(ρ): measurable via quantum state tomography
  • Eigvec(ρ): measurable via full tomography (neural correlates)
  • Γ_{-E}: approximately measurable via partial trace — discarding the E-component
  • Hist: approximated via time correlators ⟨O(τ)O(0)⟩\langle O(\tau)O(0) \rangle (two-point functions, accessible via fMRI/EEG)

The falsification criterion is strict in the theoretical sense and approximate in the experimental sense. This is the standard situation for theories with directly unobservable objects (cf. the wave function in QM).

The signature should be sought in states that have passed through the Fano channel (live dynamics, fMRI) — not in the construction. Note: the pairwise Gap_intra/Gap_inter form is not literally operational — in the Fano plane every pair lies on exactly one line, so there are no inter-triplet pairs; the testable form is triple holonomy (7 lines vs 28 non-lines).

Falsifiable predictions from Fano integration​

Source

Predictions are derived from the integration of Fano geometry with Gap dynamics, Gap thermodynamics, and RG flow. Each prediction is assigned a rigour status in accordance with the registry.

F-Gap-1: Intra-triplet Gap below inter-triplet​

⟨Gapintra⟩<⟨Gapinter⟩\langle \mathrm{Gap}_{\mathrm{intra}} \rangle < \langle \mathrm{Gap}_{\mathrm{inter}} \rangle

The mean Gap within Fano triplets is lower than between them. Coherences belonging to the same Fano line are more transparent (closer to Gap=0\mathrm{Gap}=0) than coherences connecting different lines.

Testability: ISF components (independent slow features) in fMRI. Intra-triplet correlations should systematically exceed inter-triplet correlations.

Status: [H] Hypothesis — consequence of Gap semantics and G₂-covariance.


F-Gap-2: Block transparency by Fano triplets​

Coherences within the same Fano line are more strongly correlated, forming a block structure in the coherence matrix Γ\Gamma. The Fano dissipator preserves triplet coherences ([T], G₂-structure), generating distinguished block transparency.

Testability: Correlation analysis of the coherence matrix — 7 blocks of 3×33 \times 3 (by Fano lines) should be statistically separated from off-block elements.

Status: [T] Theorem — consequence of theorems 10.1–10.3 (Fano channel preserves coherences, status registry).


F-ξ: Fano correlation length​

ξF∼160  pc\xi_F \sim 160 \; \text{pc}

The correlation length of Fano structure in large-scale structure. The scale is determined by RG suppression of the cubic coupling λ3\lambda_3 and the phase diagram of the Gap potential.

Testability: Large-scale structure of the Universe — correlation function on scales ∼100\sim 100–200200 pc. Absence of a preferred scale ∼160\sim 160 pc falsifies the prediction.

Status: [T] Theorem — theorems 9.1–9.2 (status registry).


F-τ_p: Proton lifetime​

τp∼6.7×1037  years\tau_p \sim 6.7 \times 10^{37} \; \text{years}

The proton lifetime, computed from the masses of X,YX,Y-leptoquarks via the Gap hierarchy.

Testability: Hyper-Kamiokande experiment (sensitivity up to ∼1035\sim 10^{35} years). Current Super-K limit: τp>2.4×1034\tau_p > 2.4 \times 10^{34} years. The prediction lies 2–3 orders of magnitude above Hyper-K sensitivity — direct detection of decay at this τp\tau_p is unlikely, but detection of decay at τp<1036\tau_p < 10^{36} years falsifies the prediction.

Note on testability

The prediction τp∼1037\tau_p \sim 10^{37}–103810^{38} years exceeds the sensitivity of Hyper-K (∼1035\sim 10^{35} years for p→e+π0p \to e^+\pi^0) by 2–3 orders of magnitude. Direct verification is impossible in the foreseeable future. Indirect constraints are possible via neutron-antineutron oscillations.

Status: [H] Hypothesis — depends on the precision of the MXM_X computation (proton decay).


F-m_t: Exactly one O(1)O(1) Yukawa (top)​

exactly one O(1) Yukawa: yt(mt)≈0.94,mt≈173 GeV\text{exactly one } O(1) \text{ Yukawa: } y_t(m_t) \approx 0.94, \quad m_t \approx 173\ \text{GeV}

The unique Fano–Higgs line {A,E,U}\{A, E, U\} admits a tree-level Yukawa coupling only for the third generation — hence exactly one O(1)O(1) Yukawa in the spectrum [T]. The Pendleton–Ross IR quasi-fixed point overshoots (mtFP≈210m_t^{\text{FP}} \approx 210–230230 GeV); the physical top sits below the attractor, so the numerical mt≈173m_t \approx 173 GeV is a boundary condition, status [C] (Yukawa hierarchy).

Testability: the [T] part is falsified by discovery of a second O(1)O(1) Yukawa coupling (e.g. a fourth-generation or vector-like quark with y∼1y \sim 1 coupling to the same Higgs), or by yty_t drifting far from O(1)O(1). The [C] part is falsified by a significant shift of mtexpm_t^{\text{exp}} (current: 172.57±0.29172.57 \pm 0.29 GeV).

Status: "exactly one O(1)O(1) Yukawa" — [T]; numerical mtm_t — [C]. Current verdict: PASSING (one and only one O(1)O(1) Yukawa observed; yt≈0.94y_t \approx 0.94).


F-ISF: ISF components in fMRI​

NISF∈[6,12]N_{\text{ISF}} \in [6, 12]

The number of ISF components (independent slow features) in fMRI data is determined by the opacity rank of the Gap operator. At full transparency (all Gap(i,j)=0\mathrm{Gap}(i,j) = 0) the rank is 0 and all 21 coherences are active; at full opacity the rank is maximal (21). For biologically realistic regimes the rank is ∼9\sim 9–1515, giving 21−15=621 - 15 = 6 to 21−9=1221 - 9 = 12 active independent components.

Testability: ISF component analysis of fMRI data. Systematic detection of NISF<6N_{\text{ISF}} < 6 or NISF>12N_{\text{ISF}} > 12 falsifies the prediction. The dependence of NISFN_{\text{ISF}} on the state of consciousness (wakefulness / sleep / anaesthesia) should correlate with the rank of the Gap operator.

Status: [H] Hypothesis — consequence of Gap dynamics and the interiority hierarchy.


F-Neural: Neural correlates of L-levels [C with bridge assumption]​

The form of scaling relations (threshold at P=2/7P = 2/7, monotonic dependence of Φ\Phi on connectivity) is derived [C with bridge assumption]. Numerical coefficients are empirical. Experimental protocol: fMRI/EEG during anaesthesia↔\leftrightarrowwakefulness transitions to verify the threshold.

Testability: Measurement of the Φ\Phi jump under pharmacological control of anaesthesia depth (sevoflurane, propofol). Prediction: existence of a sharp transition P≈2/7P \approx 2/7, not gradual sliding. The Φ(connectivity)\Phi(\text{connectivity}) dependence is monotonic.

Status: [C with bridge assumption] — the scaling form is derived from theory; numerical coefficients require empirical calibration.

Bridge to PCI (2026-09-25). On UHM's side the thresholds are tied without data: Φ≥1⇒P≥2/7\Phi \geq 1 \Rightarrow P \geq 2/7 (T-129a), and on the uniform diagonal the window P∈(2/7,3/7]P \in (2/7, 3/7] is exactly Φ∈(1,2]\Phi \in (1, 2] [T]. No numerical conversion between PCI and PP exists; the test is the concordance of Cons(Γ^)\mathrm{Cons}(\hat\Gamma) with PCImax⁡>0.31\mathrm{PCI}_{\max} > 0.31 on the sessions of Casarotto et al. (2016), with the reconstruction frozen on wakefulness alone — the REM and ketamine sessions (consciousness without behaviour) are the out-of-sample cases — and the prediction that low-complexity responses split into two UHM signatures (Φ^<1\hat\Phi < 1 for local responses, P^>3/7\hat P > 3/7 for stereotyped global ones) [H]. Details: measurement protocol, Step 5 and the substitution theorem.


F-Higgs: Higgs self-coupling deviation​

δλλSM∼O(10−2–10−3)\frac{\delta\lambda}{\lambda_{\text{SM}}} \sim O(10^{-2} \text{–} 10^{-3})

The octonionic correction to the Higgs sector modifies the Higgs self-coupling at the level of ∼1%\sim 1\%–0.1%0.1\% relative to the Standard Model prediction.

Testability: FCC-hh collider (sensitivity to δλ/λSM∼\delta\lambda/\lambda_{\text{SM}} \sim several percent). If FCC-hh measures λhhh\lambda_{hhh} with ∼5%\sim 5\% precision and detects a deviation of order 1%1\% — that is confirmation. Absence of deviations at precision ≪0.1%\ll 0.1\% — falsification.

Status: [H] Hypothesis — depends on non-perturbative computations in the Higgs sector.


F-δ_CP: CKM CP-phase from the Fano phase​

δCP≈64.5°±5°\delta_{\text{CP}} \approx 64.5° \pm 5°

The CKM matrix CP-phase is derived from the geometric phase of the Fano plane. The cleanest tree-level determination — the LHCb combination at ICHEP 2024 — gives δCPexp≡γ=64.6°±2.8°\delta_{\text{CP}}^{\text{exp}} \equiv \gamma = 64.6° \pm 2.8°; the PDG 2024 global fit gives 65.7°±1.5°65.7° \pm 1.5°. Against the direct value the predicted 64.5°64.5° deviates by only 0.1°0.1° (≈0.04σ\approx 0.04\sigma); against the fit, by 1.2°1.2° (<1σ< 1\sigma). The older "69°±4°69° \pm 4°" figure is superseded.

Testability: Refinement of the experimental value at LHCb and Belle II. The prediction is falsified if δCPexp\delta_{\text{CP}}^{\text{exp}} settles beyond ∼2σ\sim 2\sigma from 64.5°64.5° (i.e. outside [54°,75°][54°, 75°]).

Status: [✗] Withdrawn 2026-09-26 (T-345(e)); it was [H] with verdict PASSING. The agreement with the data stands, the derivation does not: the value came from a PT-odd cubic V3V_3, and every G2G_2-invariant cubic is PT-even (T-331); the "two-loop correction" of 12.6°12.6° that brought 77.1°77.1° down to 64.5°64.5° is absent in the Standard Model, where sin⁡δ\sin\delta changes by 2×10−52\times10^{-5} between MZM_Z and 2×10162\times10^{16} GeV; the Fritzsch texture it assumed gives ∣Vcb∣≥0.073\lvert V_{cb}\rvert\ge0.073 against 0.04180.0418. Uncorrected, the Fano phase gives 77.1°77.1°, 7.6σ7.6\sigma from the data. The criterion is kept here as a record, not as a prediction. What the clock register can and cannot supply for flavour is listed in CKM §11.


F-Cabibbo: Cabibbo angle from RG suppression of the Fano angle​

θ12≈13°\theta_{12} \approx 13°

The Cabibbo angle is derived from RG suppression of the fundamental Fano angle 2π/7≈51.4°2\pi/7 \approx 51.4°. Observed value: θ12exp≈13.0°\theta_{12}^{\text{exp}} \approx 13.0°.

Testability: Consistent with current data (∣Vus∣=0.2243±0.0005|V_{us}| = 0.2243 \pm 0.0005, corresponding to θ12≈12.96°\theta_{12} \approx 12.96°). The prediction is falsified by a significant revision of ∣Vus∣|V_{us}|.

Status: [✗] Withdrawn 2026-09-26 (T-345(e)); it was [H] with verdict PASSING. The suppression factor 0.0097×Cnorm0.0097\times C_{\mathrm{norm}} used Cnorm≈26C_{\mathrm{norm}}\approx26 fitted to θC\theta_C, so the agreement is the fit; the cubic whose running supplied 0.00970.0097 is retracted (T-331); and mixing angles do not run appreciably in the Standard Model (∣Vus∣\lvert V_{us}\rvert changes by 2×10−52\times10^{-5} from MZM_Z to 2×10162\times10^{16} GeV). The Fano ratios 2:3:12:3:1 also contradict the observed 60.8:11.2:160.8:11.2:1. The criterion is kept here as a record, not as a prediction.

The Cabibbo Angle Anomaly — a UHM hypothesis about the resolution channel (T-265, [H])

Independently of the central value, first-row CKM unitarity currently shows a ∼3.2σ\sim 3.2\sigma deficit: ∣Vud∣2+∣Vus∣2+∣Vub∣2=0.9985(5)|V_{ud}|^2 + |V_{us}|^2 + |V_{ub}|^2 = 0.9985(5) (the "Cabibbo Angle Anomaly", 2024–2026 lattice + β\beta/kaon determinations). UHM's fixed spectrum was read as a falsifiable prediction (T-265, CKM §10): the fundamental CKM is exactly 3×33\times3 unitary, so the deficit cannot be a mixing-matrix effect. Since 2026-09-25 T-265 is a hypothesis [H], because its exclusions have different standing: a fourth generation is excluded [C] at the identification of the three QR(7)\mathrm{QR}(7) classes with the physical generations (row 43c; the count Ngen=3N_{\text{gen}} = 3 itself is [T]); vector-like quarks [H] — the chirality ground is retracted, since iΓOΓAΓSΓDi\Gamma_O\Gamma_A\Gamma_S\Gamma_D has eigenvalues ±i\pm i and all G2G_2 representations are real; leptoquarks and extra bosons [H] — the "exactly Standard-Model gauge content" rests on (FE), [C at (FE)], and on T-297, [H]; MeV sterile neutrinos [C]. Read as a hypothesis, UHM expects the anomaly to resolve in the SM extraction sector (γW\gamma W-box / nuclear radiative corrections, lattice K/πK/\pi form factors, the KK–π\pi VusV_{us} tension), not via new states — and is falsified if the CAA is shown to require any such new state. The magnitude of the ∼0.15%\sim 0.15\% deficit is SM hadronic/nuclear physics and remains genuinely open [D]; the resolution-channel exclusion is [H] (it was labelled "[T-structural]+[C]" until 2026-09-25).

Withdrawn 2026-09-26 (T-99 corrected): UHM makes no prediction for dnd_n

The derivation of θQCD=0\theta_{\mathrm{QCD}} = 0 is retracted [✗]. Its step 4 is false for the cubic V3V_3 itself: on real states V2+V3+V4≡0V_2 + V_3 + V_4 \equiv 0, and for every λ3≠0\lambda_3 \neq 0 the vacuum has non-zero phases (Vmin⁡=−0.197μ2V_{\min} = -0.197\mu^2 with Gtotal=0.0155\mathcal G_{\text{total}} = 0.0155 at the page's constants). The corrected G2G_2-invariant potential is PT-even and fixes no θˉ\bar\theta, and with the fields that (Cl) forces no Peccei–Quinn, Nelson–Barr or left–right route is available (Confinement §3.1c, T-333). θˉ\bar\theta is a free parameter, strong CP is open [Pr], and a measured dn≠0d_n \neq 0 would refute nothing in UHM. The agreement with ∣dn∣<1.8×10−26\lvert d_n\rvert < 1.8\times10^{-26} e·cm no longer counts for the theory. The text below is kept as a record.

dn=0(exactly)d_n = 0 \quad \text{(exactly)}

Prediction [T] (T-99): θQCD=0\theta_{\mathrm{QCD}} = 0 exactly (structural proof), not θ<10−10\theta < 10^{-10}. Neutron electric dipole moment:

dn=e⋅mqmn2⋅θQCD=0d_n = \frac{e \cdot m_q}{m_n^2} \cdot \theta_{\mathrm{QCD}} = 0

Current experimental limit: ∣dn∣<1.8×10−26|d_n| < 1.8 \times 10^{-26} e·cm (PSI 2020), i.e. dn=(0.0±1.1)×10−26d_n = (0.0 \pm 1.1) \times 10^{-26} e·cm — consistent with the predicted strict zero. n2EDM (PSI) began commissioning data-taking in late 2024 (>50% design UCN flux, systematics verified below 0.5×10−260.5 \times 10^{-26} e·cm) and targets ∼10−27\sim 10^{-27} e·cm after ~500 days — the decisive near-term test. nEDM@SNS aims further, at ∼10−28\sim 10^{-28} e·cm.

Falsification: Detection of dn≠0d_n \neq 0 at any level → direct refutation of T-99.

Difference from axion solution: The axion allows θ∼ma/fa⋅T∼10−18\theta \sim m_a / f_a \cdot T \sim 10^{-18} — non-zero, albeit ultra-small. Gap theory predicts a strict zero.

Status: [✗] Withdrawn 2026-09-26 (T-99 corrected, Confinement §3.1c); it read "[T] Theorem — T-99" with verdict PASSING, and [C at (SV)] from 2026-09-25 in the registry (status registry, confinement). The criterion is kept here as a record, not as a prediction.


F-w: Dark-energy drift shape (Λ-drift law)​

Prediction (T-254 [T] / T-255 [Т-structural]+[C]). The dark-energy equation of state is a state functional, not a dial: 1+weff=−23 dln⁡GO/dln⁡a1+w_{\text{eff}} = -\tfrac{2}{3}\,d\ln\mathcal{G}_O/d\ln a with the positive floor Λ∞=Λphys(ρ∗)>0\Lambda_\infty = \Lambda_{\text{phys}}(\rho^*) > 0. Consequences, branch-independent: no Big Rip (unbounded phantom excluded), no vacuum-driven collapse (ρDE↛0−\rho_{\text{DE}} \not\to 0^-), w→−1w \to -1 asymptotically. Branch-dependent: the DESI quadrant (w0>−1, wa<0)(w_0 > -1,\ w_a < 0) is reachable only through a genuine −1-1-crossing (oscillatory branch); the final crossing runs phantom → quintessence in the orientation fixed by the V3V_3 arrow of inner time [C]; the G˙N\dot G_N co-drift must carry the same sign as (1+w)(1+w) with magnitude χ(ω0/Λ)2(GO/7)32(1+w) H\chi(\omega_0/\Lambda)^2(\mathcal{G}_O/7)\tfrac32(1+w)\,H.

Falsification criteria: (i) a confirmed permanent w≠−1w \neq -1 (constant non-cosmological-constant EoS across epochs at high significance); (ii) reconstructed ρDE(z)\rho_{\text{DE}}(z) growing without bound or crossing zero; (iii) the DESI CPL quadrant confirmed while non-parametric reconstruction excludes any −1-1-crossing; (iv) a final crossing in the direction opposite to the V3V_3 arrow (falsifies the [C]-link); (v) a confirmed drift with a G˙N/GN\dot G_N/G_N measurement of the opposite sign (falsifies the co-drift).

Experiments: DESI DR2+, Euclid, Roman (w(z)w(z) reconstruction); lunar laser ranging (G˙N\dot G_N).

Current verdict (2026): CONSISTENT — the DESI DR2 preference (March 2025; 2.82.8–4.2σ4.2\sigma for w0>−1, wa<0w_0 > -1,\ w_a < 0 depending on the supernova sample) lies exactly in the only quadrant UHM reaches via a crossing, and the best-fit CPL trajectory runs phantom (past) → quintessence (today) with a −1-1-crossing near z≈0.5z \approx 0.5 — the orientation UHM predicts. No Rip-like or permanent-ww signal; the co-drift sign test awaits a confirmed drift.

Caveat — the crossing itself is not yet established

The phantom → quintessence crossing is inferred from the two-parameter CPL fit (w0,wa)(w_0, w_a), not from a physical model. Non-parametric / model-independent reconstructions of w(z)w(z) do not yet robustly confirm a genuine −1-1-crossing — the feature is partly a parametrisation artifact, and the literature (2025–2026) treats its reality as unsettled. This matters for the [C]-link: UHM's falsification criterion (iii) — "DESI quadrant confirmed while reconstruction excludes any crossing" — is not triggered (reconstructions neither confirm nor exclude), so the prediction is safe but the key discriminator remains open. The quantitative discriminator to watch is whether the oscillatory (quintom-like) branch survives once reconstructions sharpen.

F-rank7: Rank-7 decoherence anisotropy​

rij=16 ⁣ ⁣∑∣ℓp∩{i,j}∣=1 ⁣ ⁣γpr_{ij}=\tfrac{1}{6}\!\!\sum_{|\ell_p \cap \{i,j\}| = 1}\!\!\gamma_p

The twenty-one inter-channel decoherence rates are not free. Each pair (i,j)(i,j) meets exactly one Fano line, and the rate between them is fixed by the seven line rates γp\gamma_p through the incidence pattern alone. Twenty-one numbers determined by seven leaves fourteen exact sum-rules — a prediction with no adjustable parameters, which is why it is the sharpest structural test the theory offers.

Testability: rate tomography in the Γ\Gamma basis, in silico now and through PCI-style perturbation protocols later. The test is a projection: fit the measured rijr_{ij} and ask whether the residual off the seven-dimensional incidence subspace is statistically distinguishable from zero.

Falsified by: a significant residual outside that subspace. Unlike the neural predictions this needs no bridge assumption — it is a statement about the dissipator, testable wherever the dissipator can be measured.

Status: [T]+[C] — the sum-rules are proved (T-262, Prediction 23); the identification of a measured rate matrix with rijr_{ij} is the conditional part.


F-Band: the two sums of a living state​

alive  ⟹  s1∈[17, 314]ands2∈[17, 27]\text{alive}\;\Longrightarrow\; s_1 \in \left[\tfrac{1}{7},\,\tfrac{3}{14}\right] \quad\text{and}\quad s_2 \in \left[\tfrac{1}{7},\,\tfrac{2}{7}\right]

Every gate is a formula in three sums, of which two are s1=∑idi2s_1 = \sum_i d_i^2, the purity of the diagonal, and s2=∑i≠j∣γij∣2s_2 = \sum_{i \neq j}|\gamma_{ij}|^2, the total weight of the binding. Integration needs s2≥s1s_2 \geq s_1; reflexivity needs s1+s2≤3/7s_1 + s_2 \leq 3/7; and Cauchy–Schwarz needs s1≥1/7s_1 \geq 1/7 of every state whatsoever. Chaining them confines both sums to narrow bands, the second exactly twice as wide as the first.

This is the theory's own internal falsifier, and it is unusually cheap to run: it needs no bridge assumption, no phenomenal mapping, and no experiment beyond computing two sums from a Γ\Gamma.

Falsified by: any state meeting all four criteria whose s1s_1 or s2s_2 falls outside its band — which would mean the four criteria are not what the three sums say they are. Or, from the other side, a system that independent measurement calls conscious whose reconstructed Γ\Gamma sits outside the bands — which would falsify the reconstruction rather than the algebra.

Testability: immediate in silico; through Γ\Gamma-reconstruction from fMRI or EEG once that reconstruction is trusted.

Status: [T] — zero counterexamples over twenty thousand states in each band, and both bands are attained rather than vacuous: a flat diagonal carrying balanced content at half strength lands inside (T-321, T-323).

Where the fourteen stand.

Until 2026-09-26 the count read three PASSING and two WITHDRAWN, with F-nEDM among the passing. Nothing has moved to FAIL: the five untested ones all wait on instruments that do not yet exist at the needed precision (coherence-resolved fMRI, Γ\Gamma-native rate tomography, LSS at ∼160\sim 160 pc, FCC-hh).

Verdict legend. PASSING — measured value lies inside the pass band; CONSISTENT — not excluded, but the prediction lies beyond current sensitivity; PARTIAL — indirect or calibration-dependent support; UNTESTED — no experiment has probed the band yet; WITHDRAWN — the derivation is retracted, so agreement with the data no longer counts for the theory. A single entry moving to FAIL falsifies the corresponding claim at its stated status level ([T]/[C]/[H]).

Status of predictions

Predictions marked [T] are based on rigorously proved theorems (see status registry). The octonionic bridge is closed with the canonical orientation of the Fano lines: [T] (T15, T15-canon, registry row 41n; it read "fully closed [T]" until 2026-09-25 without the orientation step, then [C at (Alt)] the same day). Predictions marked [H] require additional computations or contain gaps in the physical arguments.

Completeness of Theory​

The theory is complete in the following sense:

  1. Self-sufficiency: Requires no external postulates or references
  2. Universality: Applicable to structural aspects of self-referential systems — from quantum to cognitive
  3. Internal consistency: Contains no contradictions
  4. Operationality: Can be computationally implemented
  5. Explanatory power: Resolves traditional philosophical problems
  6. Falsifiability: Makes testable predictions about the structure of experience
  7. Formal rigour: Key theorems proved (7D minimality, operator φ, functor F)
  8. Compatibility with QM: the regenerative term keeps the marginal identity [T] (CPTP property of φ\varphi, conditions NS1-NS3); no-signalling of the full dynamics is [T]: it holds in the non-selective reading, and the axioms force that reading (Theorem 8.5) — the Lüders-conditioned regeneration, under which the gate gVg_V would signal, is not a UHM dynamics (this item read [C] until 2026-09-25; an earlier item called no-signalling a consequence of the CPTP structure, which is retracted)
  9. Ensemble independence: the evolution map is a function of Γ\Gamma (density matrix), not of its decomposition [D]; the physical reading "two preparations of the same Γ\Gamma evolve identically" is retracted
  10. Computational consistency: the claim that the nonlinearity R\mathcal{R} gives no acceleration beyond BQP is retracted: the ideal regenerative dynamics decides satisfiability in time linear in nn (Theorem 8.6 [T]), so "≤ BQP" would imply NP ⊆ BQP; what noise leaves of the speed-up is open [H] (this item called the whole question open [H] until 2026-09-26)

5Quantum nature of Γ\GammaTegmark decoherenceT-267 [T]: Tegmark bounds microscopic position-basis superpositions; Γ\Gamma is coarse-grained collective structure on a decoherence-free subspace (T-153a), complex by algebra not superposition (T-132), and classically realizable — the objection targets a claim UHM does not make. Residual = the categorical gap (Axiom Ω⁷), a distinct primitiveClosed (Tegmark objection)

Summary: 4 of 5 vulnerabilities closed theoretically (the Tegmark objection to #5 closed by T-267); 1 is fundamentally experimental. The categorical gap (why structure is felt) is not a vulnerability but the acknowledged Axiom Ω⁷ primitive — distinct from the Tegmark decoherence question, which is now settled.

Theory Boundaries​

Philosophy of boundaries

Acknowledging boundaries is not a weakness, but a strength of a scientific theory. A theory that claims to explain everything without exception is most likely unscientific.

Phenomenal Boundaries (what is taken as axiom)​

  1. Categorical gap: The theory does not explain why mathematical structures are 'felt.' The identity of being and experience — Axiom Ω⁷, not a theorem.

  2. Qualia calibration: The correspondence between specific eigenvalues/eigenvectors and specific qualities of experience is established empirically.

Qualia calibration — an empirical question

Which specific [∣q⟩]∈P(HE)[|q\rangle] \in \mathbb{P}(\mathcal{H}_E) corresponds to 'red' is an empirical question, not a theoretical defect. This is analogous to how the electron mass is not derived from the Standard Model. The structure of experience (spectral decomposition) is the unique functor compatible with the axiomatics, but the specific calibration is determined experimentally.

The protocols, controls and power calculations for this calibration, and the structural tests that go with it, are collected in the Empirical Programme.

  1. Absolute qualia: The question of the existence of context-independent qualia remains open.

  2. Thresholds L2: Rth=1/3R_{\text{th}} = 1/3 [T] — derived from triadic decomposition (K=3K = 3 types of dynamics from axioms) + Bayesian dominance. Φth=1\Phi_{\text{th}} = 1 [T] — unique self-consistent value at Pcrit=2/7P_{\text{crit}} = 2/7 (T-129).

Categorical Boundaries​

  1. Exp\mathbf{Exp} is not a topos: It is proved that the category Exp\mathbf{Exp} is not a topos — there is no internal logic of experiential content.

  2. Functor FF is non-invertible: One cannot uniquely recover ρ\rho from experiential content — different states may yield 'identical' experience.

  3. Problem of time: The category DensityMat\mathbf{DensityMat} is static; time requires an external parameter.

Status of Boundaries​

These boundaries are not a deficiency, but an acknowledgement:

  • The theory describes structure, not the question of 'why this particular structure'
  • Some questions may be beyond any possible explanation
  • Honest acknowledgement of boundaries is a mark of a mature theory

Comparison with physics: Physics does not explain why the laws of nature exist — it describes their structure. Analogously, UHM describes the structure of experience, acknowledging the boundaries of explanation.

Octonionic Falsification Criteria​

The structural derivation through octonions generates additional testable predictions:

Erratum 2026-07-25: this previously read «viable with loss of up to 3 of 7» — unsupported by T-93 and inconsistent with d=3d=3 (the guarantee is ⌊(d−1)/2⌋=1\lfloor(d-1)/2\rfloor = 1 correction, d−1=2d-1 = 2 detections); found by machine-checking the table against the canon.[T]
Bridge [T] — closed with the canonical orientation (T15, T15-canon)

The connection (AP)+(PH)+(QG)+(V) → P1+P2 is established via the formal chain T15 (12 steps): the steps up to PG(2,2) are [T], the step to O\mathbb{O} takes the canonical orientation, the unique collineation-invariant class (T15-canon), so the chain is [T] (registry row 41n; it read "all [T]" until 2026-09-25 without the orientation step, then [C at (Alt)] the same day). T11–T13 prove the former condition (МП). The octonionic predictions are consequences of the structural derivation and carry no orientation condition.
