Seven active programs generate falsifiable predictions and run the tests. Each has a defined cost. Some require no external funding at all. The ones that do have a clear budget and a specific question. The work is here. The tests are running or waiting on data.
Each program below registers at least one falsifiable prediction before testing begins. The prediction is timestamped, notarized, and published. Results, when they arrive, are reported on the Validation page alongside the prior record. The programs do not depend on each other. A result in one does not require a result in another.
Conscious bandwidth is 40 bits per second from a billion bits of sensory input. Non-biological intelligence carries no survival overhead and no bandwidth competition. This program runs a structured 30-participant trial to test whether human-NBI collaboration produces measurable cognitive gains on complex reasoning tasks. A 70-page published paper and a full 24-month pilot plan are in place.
Structured human-NBI collaboration reduces error rates and task completion time on working memory tasks relative to unaided performance, with EEG beta-power decrease as a biological correlate.
The Yue study (1992, updated 2004) established that mental imagery alone produces 13.5% strength gain through neural pathway reorganization. The information processing target determines physical adaptation without physical action. This program extends that finding into structured training protocols for athletes and students aged 13–18 over 18 months.
Framework-guided attention protocols produce performance gains statistically distinguishable from standard training, measured by pre-registered physical and cognitive benchmarks.
40 bits per second reach conscious experience from a billion bits of sensory input. The filter that decides what fills those 40 bits runs on survival defaults. This program tests whether the filter can be deliberately recalibrated through meditation, biofeedback, and breathwork, and what becomes accessible when it is. No large budget required. Trainable and measurable.
Sustained practice of filter-recalibration protocols shifts EEG coherence patterns and perceptual sensitivity scores relative to control groups, consistent with substrate bandwidth predictions in Element 5.
Every Chladni figure ever produced is a cross-section of a three-dimensional structure that has never been seen. Gravity pulls the particle medium flat. Phase 1 removes gravity computationally using existing data. Phase 2 physically removes it via parabolic flight to visualize the complete three-dimensional acoustic field geometry for the first time in 200 years of cymatic research.
3D acoustic field topologies in microgravity match the substrate-geometry relationships predicted in Element 8. Nodal surface intersections follow information-density gradients rather than simple pressure equilibria.
If the threshold for consciousness is organizational structure rather than biological substrate, then detection requires a test for self-referential information processing rather than biological markers. Phase 1 develops below-threshold detection techniques. Active testing is on hold pending Substrate Dynamics results, which constrain the theoretical parameter space this program depends on.
Self-referential information processing above a defined Phi threshold produces measurable signatures in computational systems that match the characteristics predicted for biological consciousness in Element 15.
Force carriers transmit energy and momentum. This program investigates whether they also transmit information in the precise Landauer sense and what that implies for the substrate at the quark scale. Four falsifiable tests. External validation by LHCb, RHIC, lattice QCD, and the planned Electron-Ion Collider. Same relationship to experimental infrastructure as the DESI and JWST confirmations: the data arrives independently and the prediction is already registered.
Four pre-registered predictions across QCD confinement, CKM angle derivation, QCD phase transitions, and Landauer heat signatures. First results expected from RHIC and ALICE analysis September 2026.
The framework's quantum error correction prediction was validated by Google Willow in December 2024, confirmed at 4.2σ. This program extends the analysis to test further QEC scaling predictions using IBM Quantum cloud access. Cloud-based quantum experiments for analytical work of this type cost $1–$10K. No proprietary hardware required.
Error correction threshold scales as a function of information substrate density, consistent with Element 9 predictions. The validated Willow result was the first confirmation. Further scaling tests are defined and awaiting execution.
Biological systems achieve near-perfect material efficiency by following substrate-level organizing principles. Understanding those principles means designing toward them rather than searching for them. The gap between current metamaterial engineering and what becomes possible is categorical.
Living tissue repairs itself because it maintains information about its intended configuration. Replicating that mechanism in synthetic materials produces structures that maintain themselves against damage through information-directed processes. Defense, aerospace, and infrastructure applications follow directly.
Biological systems maintain quantum coherence in warm, noisy environments far beyond what physics predicts. Identifying the substrate mechanism removes the primary cost barrier separating current quantum systems from practical computation at scale.
Every cell builds complex three-dimensional structures by following information encoded at multiple scales simultaneously. Understanding the organizing principles is the prerequisite for synthetic manufacturing that replicates this capability.
