2026-05-13 — Regime-Closure Epistemology (RCE): A General Principle of Cross-Domain Validation in Coupled Multi-Scale Systems (32256939, T2, Theory). States and operationalizes RCE: validation in coupled multi-scale systems is valid iff five specified regime-closure conditions are jointly satisfied, with sealed, pre-registered cross-domain predictions deposited for external arbitration.
2026-05-13 — Ledger Epistemology and Regime-Closure Governance: An Operational Framework for Validation in Coupled Multi-Scale Systems (32256951, T2, methodology). A five-component governance machine is introduced and operationally demonstrated to block internal narrative reabsorption in complex, coupled multi-scale validation, with feasibility evidenced by the EFC programme’s public ledger (v4.6), 163 DOIs, 135 registered tests, and 11 documented falsifications.

2026-05-06 — Composite-level aggregation in rotation curve model selection: A sign-flip decomposition of ∆AIC for SPARC-175 (32162706, T3, methodology). At rc = 3 kpc, 17.5% (30/171) of SPARC galaxies exhibit a sign-flip between global and outer-only ∆AIC, robustly 16.4–22.2% across rc ∈ {2,3,4,5} kpc; removing χ2-weighting increases EFC wins (66.7% → 86.5%), indicating the issue is aggregation-level, not a weighting bias.

2026-05-02 — Density of States of Gravitationally Active Grid Modes: Derivation of Deff (ρ) and Completion of the Γ(ρ) Bridge (31942800, T3, theory). Boundary-mode activation on a finite gravitational well yields Deff(ρ) ∝ √(ρ/ρcrit) with ρcrit = a0/(GN lg), implying Γ(ρ) = Γ0 √(ρ/ρcrit)/(1+√(ρ/ρcrit)) and upgrading the bridge to Scenario B+.
2026-05-02 — Derivation of the Entropy Production Function Γ(ρ) from Grid-Mode Bose–Einstein Statistics (31942821, T3, theory). From BE occupation plus von Neumann entropy, Γ(ρ) takes the saturating form Γ0·ρ/(ρ+ρcrit) with ρcrit emerging from the a0 grid-mode scale, and Γ is shown to be distinct from μBE(g), resolving double-counting.
2026-05-02 — EFC-C v2.1: Degree-Heterogeneity Entropy-Gradient Predictions for Cognitive States (32091700, T2, theory). Framework update: κ is predicted by a one-parameter power law in hub–periphery degree heterogeneity (γ≈0.55), with absolute scale anchored by a preregistered Ceff; predictions are layered to separate topology-only tests (Layer A) from cross-domain absolute-scale tests (Layer B).
2026-05-02 — EFC — Can Energy Flow Be Observed in Galactic Clusters? (28098317, T3, theory). Sets out the hypothesis that cluster-scale energy flow should be detectable through galaxy kinematics, ICM thermal gradients, and gravitational lensing, and outlines observational and simulation-based steps to test it; no empirical results are reported.
2026-05-02 — Effective Horndeski Reduction of the EFC Perturbation Sector (32011407, T2, methodology). In the FRW quasi-static sub-horizon limit, EFC linear perturbations map to an effective Bellini–Sawicki representation with αT=0, αM ∝ S(a), and αB ∝ dS/d ln a, while a distinct stiffness response R(k, z) produces scale-dependent µ suppression beyond standard Horndeski.
2026-05-02 — Methodological Convergence in Stage-IV Cosmology: The Emergence of Epistemic Holism Under Precision Constraints, and Its Operationalization via RCMP (32080080, T3, methodology). Independent Stage-IV analyses now explicitly condition key cosmological inferences (S8, EG, dark-energy hints) on proxy-chain and nuisance-model choices, consistent with RCMP-style reporting under precision constraints.
2026-05-02 — EFC-ΛCDM Comparative Test Specification v1.1 (32080083, T2, methodology). Pre-registered test protocol; no empirical results are reported in this specification.
2026-05-02 — Parameter-Controlled Regime Transitions in Energy-Flow Cosmology: Cross-Sector Consistency Between Lensing and Background Observables (32080059, T2, methodology). The sealed EFC lensing engine robustly predicts a sign-changing, non-monotonic Σeff(z) with crossover near z ≈ 0.44, dominantly controlled by K0 (Δz ≈ 0.87 for K0 ∈ [0.5,4.0]) and only weakly by amplitude parameters (Δz ≈ 0.11 for ×50 rescaling), with the sign-change robust to power-spectrum choice (BBKS cross-check…
2026-05-02 — Energy-Flow Cosmology: An Effective Phenomenological Law for Gravitational Response in Structure-Dominated Regimes (31222696, T1, theory). With R(x) and a0 frozen, EFC v4.1 fits SPARC rotation curves with median χ²_ν = 0.76 and shows lensing consistency using the same a0; clusters remain an open problem.
2026-05-02 — Homo Fluxus: A Thermodynamic Framework for Consciousness, Systemic Empathy, and Aligned Intelligence (32099389, T3, theory). A single thermodynamic coherence variable governs consciousness and systemic empathy, predicting a recoverable cross-modal latent factor linking integrated information rate, large-scale neural synchrony, and interoceptive–allostatic integration.
2026-05-02 — Minimal EFC Effective Field Theory Ansatz: Scalar-Tensor and Vector-Tensor Formulations with Gravitational Slip from Entropy Gradients (31562200, T3, theory). A minimal EFC EFT driven by a sigmoid entropy field can, in principle, realize the target mid‑z signature (mu < 1, eta > 1, Sigma > 1) either via Horndeski-like braiding/Planck-mass running or via entropy-gradient anisotropic stress in a vector–tensor completion, subject to stability and CMB-compatibility constraints…
2026-05-02 — Regime-Dependent Growth Enhancement: A Transition Metric Interpretation of the Fugaku–DESI Matter Density Offset (31144030, T2, methodology). The DESI-calibrated Fugaku matter-density offset is best interpreted as an integrated transition metric with \Delta F \approx 0.1, realizable by a single \mu(a) that respects CMB, large-scale structure, and galaxy-scale constraints.
2026-05-02 — Component-weighted bias in rotation curve model selection: A proxy-chain audit of χ2-based ∆AIC statistics (32019723, T3, methodology). Bulge-driven component-weighting in χ2 compresses ∆AIC toward baryonic inner regions, biasing model selection; B_bulge correlates with ∆AIC over SPARC (ρ=0.176, p=0.020), rising to ρ=0.474 (p=0.013) in the LATENT regime, and EFC’s win/tie rate drops from 91.9% (B_bulge<0.1) to 44.4% (B_bulge>0.2).
2026-05-02 — A Three-Window Decomposition of Cosmological Redshift in Energy-Flow Cosmology A synthesis note: TCMB , CDDR, and S(z) consistency under one regime parameter (32113399, T3, methodology). Provides a unified line-integral redshift decomposition tied to a single regime scale aG that simultaneously constrains three observational windows and predicts CDDR deviations |η(z)−1| ~ 10^-3–10^-2 (up to ~5×10^-2 in saturation), while reducing to ΛCDM when ∇Seff → 0.
2026-05-02 — Symbiotic Insight Framework (SIF): A Structural Methodology for High-Velocity Scientific Reasoning (30656351, T3, methodology). SIF formalizes a human–system symbiosis that stabilizes rapid, parallel cross-domain insight into reproducible scientific artefacts via structural consolidation, semantic integration, and version-locked pipelines.

2026-04-28 — EFC-VAL-2026-006: Interim Audit Corrigendum to VAL-005 Stub-to-Real Data Transition, VariantH Genuine (32114530, T2, empirical test). Under real (DOI-traced) data and patched priors/pipeline, the DESI DR1 non-MCMC signal vanishes and VariantH delivers a genuine null with ΔAIC ≈ +3.9 favoring ΛCDM on parsimony, leaving EFC underdetermined by current probes.

2026-04-26 — Non-MCMC Constraints on the EFC α-Parameter: BAO, Growth-Rate, and Cluster Evidence (32101213, T2, empirical test). Non-MCMC model-comparison tests prefer EFC over ΛCDM across BAO and growth probes (Δχ2DESI = −22.01; Δχ2BOSS = −7.77; α = −1.00 ± 0.46 at 2.20σ from fσ8), while MCMC chains remain degeneracy-limited and uninformative for α.

2026-04-26 — A Falsified Bar-Instability Criterion Reveals an Independent Disk-State Parameter from EFC-Modified Disk Kinematics (32101111, T2, empirical test). The EFC bar-instability criterion fails as a bar predictor (AUC 0.22–0.31; anti-correlated with bar truth within physical ζ), but Πmin robustly tracks disk structural state (ρ[Πmin, log Σ] ≈ −0.71; ρ[Πmin, fgas] ≈ +0.65 on SPARC; replicated on xGASS).

2026-04-23 — A structural closure of growth-sector couplings between discrete gravity and cosmology (32084670, T2, empirical test). All three tested growth-sector coupling classes (multiplicative Geff, additive local friction, additive non-local memory friction) are either structurally excluded by the data or fully absorbed by the Ωm–coupling degeneracy once geometry is fixed by BAO+H(z); EG with Σ=1 adds no information beyond fσ8.

2026-04-17 — Expected Outcomes for Energy-Flow Cosmology Cross-Survey Invariance and BIG-SPARC Tests (32045592, TN/A, sealed prediction). Pre-data projection favors Scenario B (partial support): Tier-1 AIC WR ≈ 58% (BIC ≈ 53%), WALLABY AIC WR ≈ 43% (BIC ≈ 35%), overlap consistency 10–12/14, with decisive SPARC wins expected to remain robust; BIG-SPARC is anticipated to be the decisive tiebreaker.

2026-04-17 (v4.0) — EFC Perturbation Sector: Constraint-Driven Gravitational Slip and a Testable Lensing Crossover (32037990, T3 sealed prediction, KC4). Complete (μ, Σ, η) perturbation system derived from the EFC relativistic action. Key results: (i) Standard QS Horndeski with α_T=0 strongly disfavored from producing μ<1 ∧ Σ>1 (135k-point scan, max Σ=0.989 when μ<0.99); EFC’s λ-multiplier constraint generates anisotropic stress unique to this action. (ii) Channel separation: after DESI DR2, background coupling α collapsed from −1.00±0.46 (2.2σ) to −0.14±0.21 (0.68σ); perturbation-sector μ<1 survives as structurally robust (100% under ±20% parameter variation), Σ≥1 semi-robust (61%), η point value fragile (0%). (iii) New distinctive prediction: non-monotonic Σ_eff(z) with sign change at z ≈ 0.44 (+2.6% at z=0.10 to −1.5% at z=1.21), testable with Euclid DR1 tomography. (iv) Negative MCMC (Variant H): ΔAIC = +4.05, S̄₀ = 0.21±0.14 (1.5σ) — current data do not require the extension. Ghost/tachyon-free in sub-horizon regime. Implication: the growth-suppression signal (fσ₈ LOO 2.2σ, 31332730) is reattributed from background α to perturbation μ<1 channel; sealed fσ₈(z=0.7)=0.430 prediction (32013156) remains channel-independent. Public pages updated: Elevator_Pitch (kill-criteria hierarchy reordered; interpretation of α-signal updated), Stage-IV_Data_Roadmap (§2.1 KC4 expanded; §2.5 new rows for crossover and structural signature; §6 Horndeski language softened); Gap_Analysis (KC4 reformulated; new CLOSED theory gap “Perturbation-sector structural prediction”). Test counts updated to 119/101/91/10/18.

2026-04-15 — Systematic elimination of local gravitational models on the SPARC 175 sample: Evidence for an irreducible galaxy-specific degree of freedom (32029704, T2, empirical test). All purely local multiplicative models with only global parameters are falsified on SPARC 175 (FLOW win ≈ 27%), while a one-parameter-per-galaxy hybrid matches NFW performance (FLOW win 72.6%, median χ2/dof 2.71 vs 2.64).

2026-04-15 — Pre-Registered Predictions for the Entropy Flow Cosmology (EFC) Model (32010399, T1, sealed prediction). All EFC benchmark parameters and opposite-sign growth–lensing predictions are preregistered and sealed, with specific percent-level shifts (P1–P5) vs. ΛCDM on Euclid DR1 scales and the characteristic signature µ<1, Σ>1, η≈1.10.
2026-04-15 — ISW Void Sign-Flip Observational Pipeline: From EFC Theory to Data Confrontation (31990212, T3, observational pipeline). Complete observational pipeline for testing the EFC void ISW sign-flip prediction using DESIVAST DR1 + Planck PR4
2026-04-15 — Consistent Modified Gravity Weak Lensing in Energy-Flow Cosmology: The µ–Σ Eigenmode, Destructive Interference, and E_G as the Orthogonal Probe (31990194, T2, sealed prediction). Weak lensing constrains only η_eff = γ(µ−1) + (Σ−1), leading to destructive interference where µ<1 cancels 66% of the Σ>1 lensing boost; EG is the orthogonal probe predicting E_G^EFC/E_G^GR = 1.086.
2026-04-15 (v3.24) — Pre-Registered Predictions for EFC vs Rubin LSST DP2 Cosmic Shear (32013738, T2 sealed_prediction, KC4 lensing sector η ≈ 1.10). SHA-256 sealed EFC forecast: S₈ = 0.847 ± 0.015 and ~8% large-scale enhancement of ξ₊(θ) at 20′–300′. Falsifiers: S₈ < 0.820 at >2σ (KC1); ξ₊^obs/ξ₊^ΛCDM < 1.00 at θ > 30′ with >2σ (KC2). Confrontation: Rubin Observatory LSST DP2 shear-only or joint 3×2pt.
2026-04-15 (v3.24) — EFC Background No-Go Theorem (31985163, T3 empirical). Joint BAO+CMB analysis across three independent H(z) parametrisations: any low-z EFC background modification large enough to improve BAO (Δχ²_BAO ≈ −14.6) is decisively penalised by CMB distance priors (Δχ²_CMB > +100), yielding Δχ²_total ≈ +98. Forecloses background-only ΛCDM modifications; EFC phenomenology must enter via the perturbation sector.

2026-04-14 (v3.22) — Sealed Blind Predictions for Growth-Rate Observables: EFC vs ΛCDM (32013156). Formal publication of the three sealed predictions previously deposited as SHA-256 hashes 7a850cfa... (2026-02-18) and dbccda15... (2026-02-21). P1: fσ₈(z=0.7) = 0.430 (EFC) vs 0.449 (ΛCDM), ≈2.0σ lower growth. P2: D_H/r_d(z=0.7) = 19.797 (EFC) vs 20.719 (ΛCDM), ≈2.3σ lower. P3: D_H/r_d(z=1.0) = 16.527 (EFC) vs 17.466 (ΛCDM), ≈3.1σ lower. Sampler: NUTS. Falsifiable by DESI DR2/DR3 full-shape RSD + BAO (2027–2028). Converts the cryptographic freezes into a publicly citable DOI artifact — predictions themselves remain sealed at the hash level.

2026-04-14 (v4.9) — Major data-integrity overhaul: DOI anchoring, cross-validation gate, α-signal transparency.

Critical corrections to public pages: Elevator Pitch: “204 publications” corrected to 141 (actual repo count); “103/103 survived” corrected to 79/88 survived, 9 falsified, 16 in pipeline; false claim “survives every test” removed. All numbers now sourced from ledger stats.json and verified by automated cross-validation gate.

α-signal transparency panel added: Elevator Pitch now shows full signal picture — published LOO result (α = −1.00 ± 0.46, 2.20σ, DOI 31332730), both sealed freeze values (α = −0.689 SHA 7a850cfa, α = −0.702 SHA dbccda15), AND the weaker autonomous MCMC result (α = −0.141 ± 0.208, 0.68σ, degeneracy-limited). Interpretation text explains both are correct at different prior volumes.

Inference modules DOI-anchored (v4.0): Four of six Symbiose inference modules were running on ΛCDM stubs (chi2=null, engine=lcdm_stub). Replaced with actual published chi-squared values: bao_boss_dr12 → Δχ²=−7.77 (31954125); bao_desi_y1 → Δχ²=−22.01 (31230703); fs8_extended → 2.20σ LOO (31332730); hz_chronometers → Δχ²=−0.17. chi2_summary updated from N/A, N/A, 0.00, N/A, N/A, 10.39 to −7.77, −22.01, 0.00, −4.91, −0.17, 10.39. Neo4j nodes updated in Symbiose.

New automated infrastructure: (1) efc_cross_validate.py — pre-publish validation gate that blocks auto-commit if public pages contradict repo/ledger/Symbiose data (checks paper counts, test counts, survival claims, α-signal dual reporting, inference DOI anchoring); (2) efc_symbiose_snapshot.py — captures Symbiose ground truth (Neo4j graph, Qdrant vectors, GNN) for cross-validation; (3) efc_ai_brain.py refactored — 128/158 paper packages enriched to 10/10 standard via GPT-5, public page updates split into 6 separate API calls (was 1 monolithic prompt hitting finish_reason=length); (4) Maintain pipeline expanded to 10 steps including Symbiose snapshot, dataset scanner, and cross-validation gate.

Ledger data fixes: planned_pipeline corrected 15→16 (total_public 103→104). Validation Ledger HTML updated to match (104-test, 88 active).

CI/CD fixes: poppler-utils added to efc-sync.yml; API rate limiting (3s pause between calls); git pull --rebase before push retry.

2026-04-12 (v3.20) — Euclid DR1 Boltzmann pre-registration pipeline (31990053). Built custom efc_logistic gravity model in hi_class 3.0 (81 lines C, analytical δM²). 36-point parameter scan: allowed region M₀∈[0.01, 0.10], B₀∈[0, 0.03], stability M₀≥3B₀, Planck ISW M₀<0.1. SHA-256 sealed benchmark (B₀=0.02, M₀=0.06): σ₈ +1.21%, P(k_c,z=0.5) +2.09%, C_ℓ^φφ(ℓ=66) −6.01%, E_G(ℓ=66) −3.98%. Coherence signature: σ₈↑ P(k)↑ lensing↓ ISW↑ E_G↓ — opposite to ν-mass. RCMP matrix updated with Boltzmann-calibrated signal levels (1–3%, replacing paper-based 5–7%). Full pipeline at pipelines/efc/euclid_dr1/ with 6 sanity checks, RCMP compliance matrix, cobaya+PolyChord config. AI-friendly package at docs/papers/efc/efc_euclid_prediction/ (10/10 standard). Propagated to all 4 public pages (Roadmap: 4 items → PREDICTION READY; Ledger: new T3 SEALED entry; White Paper: SEALED badge; Elevator Pitch: pipeline status). Also: upgraded AI-friendly generator to produce CITATION.cff, LICENSE, citations.bib, schema.json for all packages (219 new files across 158 packages). Fixed 53 paper README DOI drift (efc_sync_dois.py now auto-fixes README DOI references). Added AI consistency auditor (efc_ai_audit.py) using OpenAI API for cross-page verification (10/10 PASS on first run). Paper count 138→140, package count 138→140.
2026-04-11 (v3.19) — Ontological clarification across all public surfaces. User feedback noted that the existing elevator pitch framed EFC as "gravity adjusts itself…" — which reads like a parametric tweak to ΛCDM rather than what it actually is. Added a dedicated "A different picture — not just a different parameter" section to Pitch with an 9-row ontology comparison table (What is primary / What is gravity / What is entropy / What is time / "Dark matter" / "Dark energy" / How many scales / Measurement / Free parameters) contrasting ΛCDM's "spacetime is a stage, dark matter/dark energy are things on that stage" with EFC's "energy and entropy are primary, spacetime and gravity emerge, time is secondary (Axiom 0), the dark sector is a symptom of cross-regime measurement (RCMP)." Added a compact ontology paragraph (same wording, shorter) to the inline pitch box on Ledger, White Paper, and Roadmap. Updated the top-level README.md "In plain English" section with a three-sentence ontology note. Every surface now links back to the full side-by-side in the elevator pitch. No changes to technical content, status banner, ledger tables, or test entries — this is purely a framing update to surface the ontological level of difference that was previously buried.
2026-04-11 (v3.18) — Added Elevator Pitch as a new standalone landing page in the docs/public/ bundle. Same layout, stylesheet, and nav bar as the existing four public pages (Validation Ledger, White Paper Series, Stage-IV Roadmap, Changelog). Contents: a 60-second plain-English explanation of EFC for non-specialists, a side-by-side comparison of ΛCDM vs EFC, an explicit "what EFC does NOT claim" table, the five pre-registered kill criteria, and a next-steps navigation table pointing to the four technical surfaces. The inline pitch boxes added in v3.17 to the three technical pages remain as on-page anchors; the new standalone page is the dedicated landing surface linked from the nav bar on every sibling page as the first entry.
2026-04-11 (v3.17) — Kill-Test v6 Universality on SPARC 175 (31986762, EFC-VAL-2026-008). Extended Kill-Test v6 probe-2 methodology to all 175 SPARC galaxies (identical pipeline: scipy.differential_evolution, seed = 42, AIC model comparison). Single-component EFC fitted alongside a 2-parameter NFW reference on each galaxy. EFC win rate 60.2% on 171 successfully fitted galaxies (42.1% EFC_decisive, 18.1% EFC, 26.9% tied, 3.5% LCDM, 9.4% LCDM_decisive). Median ΔAIC = AIC_NFW − AIC_EFC = +6.21 (favours EFC); median χ²_red: EFC 0.44 vs NFW 1.69. Mann-Whitney FLOW (71) vs LATENT (16) on ΔAIC gives U = 1136, p ≈ 0 — regime separation decisive. Spearman ρ(ΔAIC, v_max) = 0.11 (p = 0.15) — no mass-scale selection bias. DDO 154 anchor cross-check: ΔAIC = +125.2 (sign convention verified). Cherry-picking objection against probe-2 refuted; universality verdict CONFIRMED at single-component level. Four galaxies dropped for n < 5 data points (D512-2, NGC 6789, UGC 00634, UGC 07232). LATENT tail is dominated by massive bulge-heavy spirals (NGC 5055, NGC 2841, UGC 02953, UGC 09133, UGC 02487) — precisely the galaxies hand-refitted with the multi-component EFC model in probe-2. Full multi-component 175-galaxy universality with single fixed (K₀, m²) remains open. Kill-Test v6 probe-2 open question #2 ("175-galaxy universality") partially resolved. No new free parameters; EFC and NFW bounds inherited from Kill-Test v6. Runtime ~2 minutes single-core; dependencies numpy + scipy only. Full AI-friendly reproducer package shipped under docs/papers/efc/Kill-Test v6 Universality_SPARC175/. physics_test count 34 → 35, total_public 102 → 103. Ledger promoted to v3.17 (public HTML) / v4.8 (internal).
2026-04-10 (v3.16) – Added Scale-Localised Modified Gravity package (31985313): band-pass stiffness R(k,a), E_G bump ~7% at k_c=0.05 h/Mpc, testable at 2.5–3.5σ. Added EFC Background No-Go Theorem AI-friendly package with three-pillar proof (sign lemma + CLASS + CMB+BAO → background sector empty). Propagated DOI references across all public documents. Corrected test count 100 → 102 in HTML ledger.
2026-04-09 (v3.15) – Added EFC White Paper Series Parts 1–4 (31970886, 31970898, 31970904, 31970907): Recovery Conditions, Field Equations, Validation & Falsification, Regime Susceptibility.

2026-02-12 (v2.1) – ISW Consistency Audit v1.1 applied (31329082). Removed tomographic cancellation metric 𝒞 from canonical prediction set. Recomputed A_ISW under fully self-consistent growth-channel implementation (ODE-based D(a), no potential μ′ term). Revised prediction: uniform suppression A_ISW ≈ 0.89 ± 0.03 across tracers. Updated ISW row status from "Completed (no observational conflict; falsifiable prediction locked)" to "Completed (Self-consistent recomputation; quantitative revision)". Deprecated 𝒞-metric in Section 1.1 Phenomenological Constraints. Updated ISW sector in Regime × Observable Matrix to "BG → GRW (growth response only; no direct potential coupling)". Updated ISW planned pipeline entry from 𝒞-metric tomographic test to uniform A_ISW amplitude validation.
2026-02-11 (v2.0.1) – KB synchronization update: Added Section 2.3 S₈ Stage-III Convergence table with DEPRECATED/CURRENT framing (KiDS Legacy 0.815, HSC Y3 0.805, Combined 0.813). Standardized three "Completed" rows to follow the 9-level status system: Galaxy rotation curves → Data Likelihood Test; Δ_F regime transition → Consistency Check; H₀ tension → Consistency Check.
2026-02-11 (v2.0) – Full methodological upgrade: Added Executive Summary with 6-channel validation overview; Status Classification Key (Section 0.1) defining 9 validation maturity levels; Global Parameter Registry (Section 0.2) with 4 parameter tables (Background-Coupling, Growth-Sector, Density-Saturation, Lensing Phenomenology) enforcing frozen-parameter governance; Regime × Observable × Sector Matrix (Section 0.3) mapping 20 channels to parameter dependencies. These additions establish canonical governance preventing hidden tuning and ensuring parameter-lock consistency across all EFC validation tests.
2026-02-11 (v1.9) – Methodological refinements: adjusted status wording on 5 rows to improve epistemological precision (High-z null → "null-prediction consistency check"; JWST ΛCDM → ⚠️ with interpretation caveat; Cluster merger → "structural exclusion test"; SCE → "meta-model evaluation"; CMB TT → "Boltzmann validation pending"). Added 8 planned validation rows covering critical cosmological tests: P(k,z) full-shape, CMB TE/EE/φφ, multi-epoch RSD, E_G slip, BAO anisotropic split, BBN expansion-rate, galaxy bias, and global parameter-lock test.
2026-02-11 (v1.8) – Added covariance-aware BAO consistency test using official BOSS DR12 consensus likelihood with full 6×6 covariance matrix (31314922). Fixed-parameter transfer test shows Δχ² = −2.4 for BAO and Δχ² = −0.6 for cosmic chronometers. No validated geometric channel penalises EFC relative to ΛCDM.
2026-02-10 (v1.7) – Major hierarchical restructuring.

Added β-split test and standard sirens to Planned Pipeline (31305421).
2026-02-09 (v1.6) – Upgraded ISW cross-correlation from "Planned" to "Completed (no observational conflict)". Added bias-calibrated A_ISW analysis with DESI DR1 tracer windows, cancellation index 𝒞, and kernel decomposition K_μ/K_μ′. All published ISW measurements consistent within 1.6σ. H(a) background sensitivity confirmed (Δχ² < 1). Falsifiable prediction locked: DESI tomographic bins overlapping z_t should show 𝒞 > 0.7 and A_ISW < 0.5. Paper-ready methodology published as 31301953.
2026-02-07 (v1.5) – Added pre-registered cluster shock-front lensing asymmetry test (Directional Lensing Residuals at Cluster Merger Shock Fronts).
