Observational Tests
Of the 17 claims in the simulation registry, exactly 2 touch independently collected real-world data at all — and neither is a full observational confirmation. Both are detailed below in full, with exactly what’s real and what’s synthetic. The rest (15) are internal consistency checks; see Internal Tests.
GRB multi-messenger closure-scale fit
Peak energies (E) and redshifts (z) for 48 real gamma-ray bursts, from grb_clean48_Ep_z.csv (real Fermi/Swift catalog data).
The timing signal Δt is synthetic (injected) — the real catalog has no per-photon, per-energy-band arrival-time data needed for a genuine dispersion-vs-energy test.
Validates that the CCCC2 fit pipeline correctly recovers an injected coupling from real E/z data. Does not constitute an observational detection or exclusion of the theory's predicted signal.
Black-hole shadow bound from EHT precision
Published Event Horizon Telescope shadow-diameter measurement precision (~10–17%), used as an input constraint.
No raw EHT imaging data is fit directly — the bound is derived from the published precision figure applied to this theory's own shadow-scaling formula.
A legitimate bound from non-detection at current precision (g ≲ 0.5 GM), not a fit to raw telescope data.
The largest missing observational test is SPARC galaxy rotation curves — see why it’s absent.
