Future Tests
Five concrete, named gaps — what data or work each one needs, and what it would actually resolve.
Real SPARC galaxy rotation-curve data
Needs: The SPARC database itself, run against Book I's RAR-interpolation dark-matter account.
Resolves: Whether the emergent-gravity account of galaxy rotation curves survives contact with real observational data, not just an imported literature formula.
Real per-photon GRB arrival-time data
Needs: Energy-resolved photon arrival times for a GRB sample, replacing the currently synthetic/injected Δt.
Resolves: Whether the theory's predicted dispersion-vs-energy signal is actually present in real multi-messenger data, not just that the fit pipeline works on injected values.
Real detector-data ringdown fit
Needs: An actual LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA ringdown signal, fit with the modified quasinormal-mode formula.
Resolves: Whether the predicted ringdown deviation is present in real gravitational-wave data — the current check only confirms the analysis pipeline recovers injected synthetic parameters.
Denser γ-parameter scan
Needs: A substantially higher-resolution scan of the closure-domain parameter γ than currently available.
Resolves: Whether the observed 7 stable windows at current resolution approaches the corrected packing bound of 22 as resolution increases, or stays far below it.
2D backward ray-tracing of near-critical photon trajectories
Needs: Implementation of full 2D ray-tracing, not the current 1D photon-sphere-radius proxy.
Resolves: The effective-spin shadow-asymmetry claim (C7), currently marked NOT_TESTABLE rather than approximated with a non-faithful substitute.
