Substrate Dynamics
Program Results Log

Pre-registration status: All four predictions require Zenodo and OSF pre-registration before any data collection or analysis begins. Predictions are documented here as working records from May 2026. Formal timestamped pre-registration is the next required step for each test. Do not access experimental data before pre-registration is complete.

Falsification value: Each test is designed so that a null result still advances the framework. A null on SD-001 locates the classical-quantum boundary in the information processing hierarchy. A null on SD-002 constrains the universality of information-theoretic optimization. A null on SD-003 identifies the need for a bridging mechanism between QCD and cosmological scales. A null on SD-004 locates the scale threshold for Bamboo Principle dynamics. No result is wasted.

ID	Confirming Program	Type	Prediction	Doc. Date	Run Date	Outcome	Control	Compliance	N Tests	Delta	Next Steps	Lessons	Notes / Falsification Value
SD-001	LHCb / ATLAS / CMS	Internal / Theoretical + External Validation	CP-violating processes at the quark scale should produce measurable heat excess above momentum transfer predictions, proportional to information erased in the irreversible gate operation. Consistent with Landauer minimum kT ln2 per bit erased.	May 2026	Not yet	Not yet	Null hypothesis: heat output from CP-violating processes fully accounted for by standard QCD. No Landauer excess. Control: comparison of CP-violating vs. CP-conserving processes of equivalent energy in same detector.	Pre-Registration Pending	Not yet run. Requires theoretical derivation of predicted magnitude before accessing LHC data.	Not yet	Pre-register on Zenodo before accessing LHC data. Identify existing LHCb datasets on B meson decays that may contain relevant measurements. Develop quantitative prediction for heat excess magnitude.	Not yet	Null result still significant: establishes that Landauer irreversibility begins above the quark scale, locating the classical-quantum boundary in the information processing hierarchy.
SD-002	LHCb / Belle II / PDG	Theoretical Derivation + External Data	The three CKM mixing angles (θ₁₂, θ₁₃, θ₂₃) and the CP-violating phase (δ) are not arbitrary initial conditions but minimize an information-theoretic cost function derivable from the framework's pre-geometric substrate mechanism. Specific predicted values to be derived before comparison against PDG precision measurements.	May 2026	Not yet	Not yet	Null hypothesis: CKM angles are arbitrary constants with no information-theoretic structure. Standard Model free parameters set by early universe symmetry breaking only.	Pre-Registration Pending	Not yet run. Requires theoretical derivation of cost function first.	Not yet	Derive information-theoretic cost function from the framework. Calculate predicted CKM angle relationships. Compare against PDG values. Pre-register derivation before comparison.	Not yet	Null result constrains the framework's universality claim: optimization operates at cosmological scales but not at flavor gate parameter level. Defines the scope of the mechanism.
SD-003	Lattice QCD / Electron-Ion Collider	External / Computation + Experiment	Entanglement entropy at the QCD confinement boundary scales with the framework's information-density parameter A(z) in a specific functional relationship, connecting quark-scale entanglement structure to the same mechanism producing DESI dark energy evolution and JWST early galaxy formation anomalies.	May 2026	Not yet	Not yet	Null: confinement boundary entanglement entropy has no relationship to cosmological information-density parameter. Mechanism operates at cosmological scales only.	Pre-Registration Pending	Not yet run. Lattice QCD entanglement entropy calculations available now. EIC data available 2030s.	Not yet	Derive predicted scaling relationship from framework. Compare against existing Kharzeev group lattice QCD calculations. Pre-register before EIC data access.	Not yet	A null result tells you the framework needs a bridging mechanism between QCD and cosmological scales: a constraint on the theory that drives theoretical development.
SD-004	RHIC / ALICE (LHC Heavy-Ion)	External / Heavy-Ion Collision Data	The quark-hadron crossover at ~150 MeV produces a specific entanglement entropy signature reflecting constraint imposition: a discontinuity in entropy rate of change exceeding standard thermal QCD predictions. The Bamboo Principle operating at the quark scale: specific information-theoretic signature at the threshold crossing from quark-gluon plasma to hadronic matter.	May 2026	Not yet	Not yet	Null: entropy change at QCD crossover fully described by standard thermal QCD. No additional information-theoretic component. Bamboo Principle dynamics do not appear at this scale.	Pre-Registration Pending	Not yet run. Extensive RHIC and ALICE data on QGP thermodynamics available. Requires deriving predicted entropy signature shape before data analysis.	Not yet	Derive predicted entropy signature from framework. Identify existing RHIC/ALICE datasets. Use Datta et al. (2025) methodology as template. Pre-register analysis protocol.	Not yet	A null result constrains where Bamboo Principle dynamics appear in the physical hierarchy and locates the scale threshold for constraint imposition events.
