Ic² Open Research Call

Online (All Welcome)
Quarterly, 90 Minutes
Zoom (register for link)

Quarterly open Zoom call where the institute reviews active prediction testing, discusses framework developments, and opens the floor to questions from the research community. All members and observers are welcome. The September 2026 call will cover the anticipated timeline for DESI's full five-year survey (DR3) results.

The Science of Consciousness 2027 (TSC)

International Conference
Annual, 6 Days
International Location (TBA)

The 33rd annual TSC conference. Location to be announced. TSC alternates yearly between Tucson, Arizona and an international venue. The 2027 edition will include the latest findings on quantum brain biology, AI consciousness, and cosmological implications for the nature of reality.

COSMO-27: International Conference on Particle Physics and Cosmology

Conference
5 Days
Location TBA

The 30th COSMO conference. Expected to feature results from the DESI five-year analysis (DR3), Euclid Mission structure surveys, and early Simons Observatory data. A primary venue for the cosmology community to assess evolving dark energy evidence and implications for fundamental physics.

2027 (Construction Phase)

Electron-Ion Collider: Installation Begins at Brookhaven

Milestone
Multi-year installation phase
Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York, USA

Installation of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) begins at BNL. The EIC will be the world's first polarized electron-ion collider and a key future instrument for testing the COSMIC Framework's Substrate Dynamics predictions, particularly COSMIC-SD-003 (QCD entanglement entropy scaling). Commissioning is scheduled for 2029 with full physics operations from 2032.

EIC at BNL
2028 (Location TBA)

The Science of Consciousness 2028 (TSC)

International Conference
Annual, 6 Days
International Location (TBA)

The 34th annual TSC conference at an international venue. By 2028, results from COSMIC-NBI-003 (NBI geometric convergence) and COSMIC-013 (Landauer heat at biological scale) may be available, making this a particularly relevant venue for presenting framework findings in the consciousness science community.

ALMA SPT2349-56 Results Published

ALMA observations of the SPT2349-56 protocluster, published in Nature, found intracluster gas at least five times hotter than predicted, in a core where galaxies form stars more than 5,000 times faster than the Milky Way. It is the fourth independent result consistent with the COSMIC Framework; the framework's written version dates from May 2026.

Google Willow Quantum Chip Results Published in Nature

Google Quantum AI published the Willow chip results showing exponential error suppression as the error-correcting code grows. The result is consistent with the COSMIC Framework, though the framework's written version dates from October 2025. Google described the result as a breakthrough in fault-tolerant quantum computing.

DESI DR1 Results: First Evidence of Evolving Dark Energy

The DESI collaboration released its first-year results, showing a 2.5σ to 3.9σ preference for evolving dark energy over a static cosmological constant, depending on the supernova data combined. The result is consistent with the COSMIC Framework, though the framework's written prediction dates from October 2025.
