Abstract
We present a consolidated, test-driven account of geometric electric dipole moments (EDMs) and CP violation within the MMA-DMF framework, compiled from the December 2025 audit archive and its Gold/Platinum/Diamond validation artifacts. The central claim is operational: CP violation is dynamically active during the electroweak window (ϕ˙≠0\dot{\phi} \neq 0ϕ˙​=0) but becomes effectively static and screened at late times (ϕ˙→0\dot{\phi} \to 0ϕ˙​→0), so present-day EDM searches must target transient spectra rather than only DC offsets. Crucially, the operational kernel is rigid and degree-of-freedom-free: the analysis is executed with a fixed “Golden” parameter set (no tunable degrees of freedom in the pipeline), and all detection statements are framed as falsifiable pass/fail criteria. We show how the density–time scaling law τ(ρenv)\tau(\rho_{\mathrm{env}})τ(ρenv​) induces a mandatory downward-chirp “Sad Trombone” transient, and we specify a matched-filter protocol with density-aware templates. We also provide a laboratory handoff for the T-Environment density-swap experiment, including hardware requirements, timing constraints, logging schema, and acceptance criteria needed for an independent replication campaign.

1. Introduction

The empirical absence of permanent electric dipole moments at current sensitivity places severe constraints on CP-violating physics beyond the Standard Model. At the same time, cosmology requires CP violation in the early universe to explain the baryon asymmetry. This tension is especially acute for the strong CP problem: the effective QCD vacuum angle must be extremely small today, yet conventional baryogenesis demands active CP violation at early times. The MMA-DMF framework, as developed in the provided archive, proposes that a single geometric scalar degree of freedom can simultaneously address cosmological tensions and provide a dynamical mechanism for CP violation without requiring an independent axion sector. The distinctive aspect of MMA-DMF is chronology: CP violation is not a constant parameter but an evolving, environment-dependent phenomenon. In the early universe the scalar can be driven ( ϕ ˙ 0 ), while in the present epoch the same scalar becomes effectively static and screened in dense environments, suppressing observable EDMs. The archive also emphasizes that the leading experimental handle is not a DC EDM, but a time-dependent relaxation transient whose phase produces a negative chirp in precision-coherence measurements. This motivates a validation program that is as much about analysis methodology as it is about underlying dynamics: rather than removing low-frequency drifts by static filtering, the drift is treated as the potential signal and extracted via matched filtering with density-dependent templates (the “Retificação Forense”). This paper consolidates the complete December 2025 archive into a standard scientific structure. We (i) define the MMA-DMF CP/EDM sector and derive the density–time scaling law; (ii) present the numerical/statistical methodology (whitening, matched filtering, false-positive control, and network coherence logic); (iii) report all archive tests and artifacts in chronological order; (iv) interpret their consistency and limitations; and (v) provide references as fully as possible from cited materials.

2. Methods

2.1. Use of AI-Assisted Tools

AI-assisted tools (large language models) were used to generate and refactor portions of analysis code, to draft and refine plotting scripts, and to produce some illustrative figures/diagrams. All generated outputs (code, figures, and numerical tables) were reviewed, corrected where needed, and validated against the MMA–DMF equations and acceptance criteria by the author.

2.2. Effective Theory Structure and the Chronology Requirement

The core chronology requirement is two-stage. During the electroweak window, CP violation must be dynamically active, which in the spontaneous-baryogenesis implementation means a nonzero scalar velocity  ϕ ˙ 0 . The derivative coupling generates an effective baryon chemical potential
μ B , eff = ϕ ˙ M B .
At late times, present-day EDM limits require an effectively static field configuration, ϕ ˙ 0 , together with screening/gating in high-density environments, so that the EDM phenomenology is carried by transient (spectral) signatures rather than DC offsets.
The total effective Lagrangian is decomposed into kinetic, geometric anchor, and topological sectors:
L total = L kinetic + L anchor + L topological .
The kinetic and anchor terms are given by a canonical scalar plus an environment/curvature locking interaction:
L kinetic + L anchor = 1 2 ( ϕ ) 2 V ( ϕ ) + β K 2 M 2 ϕ 2 K ( G ) ,
where M 100 TeV is the MMA-DMF fundamental scale and K ( G ) denotes a curvature invariant (Kretschmann or Gauss–Bonnet logic in the archive). In the bounce regime, K is large, generating a super-heavy effective mass that locks ϕ near ϕ 0 (geometric “travamento”). The topological/CP sector is represented by an effective coupling of the scalar to a CP-odd gauge invariant, summarized schematically as
L topological = α s 8 π θ 0 + ϕ f ϕ G μ ν a G ˜ a μ ν + L baryon + L EM trace ,
where G G ˜ denotes the QCD topological density and the archive further introduces a baryogenesis-motivated current coupling and an electromagnetic trace-anomaly coupling (used in the refined EDM estimate).

2.2.1. Baryogenesis Coupling and Effective Chemical Potential

A standard spontaneous baryogenesis structure couples μ ϕ to a baryon current:
L baryon = 1 M B μ ϕ J B μ .
For a homogeneous background, this yields an effective baryon chemical potential
The archive chronology then requires ϕ ˙ 0 around the electroweak temperature T EW but ϕ ˙ 0 at late times.

2.2.2. Late-Time EDM Requirement

Current EDM bounds are typically interpreted as constraints on constant (DC) EDMs. The archive stresses that in MMA-DMF the time average can vanish over integration times T τ , motivating reinterpretation in spectral terms:
d ( t ) T 0 for T τ , so constraints apply to S d ( ω ) near ω m vac .
This motivates searching for transient, density-controlled signals rather than DC offsets.

2.3. Generalized Langevin Equation and Strict Fluctuation–Dissipation Closure

A central methodological commitment in the archive is that the scalar dynamics is governed by a generalized Langevin equation (GLE) with strict thermodynamic closure to avoid secular energy pumping:
1 c s 2 2 ϕ t 2 2 ϕ + m eff ren ( ρ , C ) 2 ϕ + t Γ ( t t ) ϕ ˙ ( t ) d t = F noise ( x , t ) ,
where c s 1 in the laboratory limit, Γ is a memory kernel, and F noise is a stochastic force.

2.3.1. Exponential Kernel and Spectral Positivity

The archive implements a strict exponential kernel,
Γ ( Δ t ) = η M Γ exp M Γ | Δ t | ,
and enforces spectral positivity,
Re Γ ( ω ) > 0 ω ,
as a stability requirement preventing spurious heating.

2.3.2. FDT (Fluctuation–Dissipation Theorem) Closure

Thermodynamic closure is imposed in the spectral domain. Writing the Fourier transform Γ ( ω ) = Γ ( Δ t ) e i ω Δ t d Δ t , the archive enforces an implementation-ready power spectral density
A noise 2 ( ω ) = 2 k B T vac Re Γ ( ω ) .
For the exponential kernel in Eq. (8), one obtains explicitly
Re Γ ( ω ) = 2 η M Γ 2 M Γ 2 + ω 2 , A noise 2 ( ω ) = 4 k B T vac η M Γ 2 M Γ 2 + ω 2 .
Where required by numerical implementations, the archive further regularises the spatial spectrum with a Gaussian UV cutoff; this is a fixed regulator, not a fitted degree of freedom.

2.4. Density-Dependent Screening, Saturation Gate, and the Relaxation-Time Law

2.4.1. Unit-Consistent Mapping from Density to Effective Mass

The Archive Validates the Core Mapping
m eff 2 = ρ M 2 ,
by dimensional analysis and explicit SI conversion. Treating ρ as an energy density, [ ρ ] = [ E ] 4 , yields [ ρ / M 2 ] = [ E ] 2 , consistent with [ m eff 2 ] = [ E ] 2 . For ρ lab 1 g cm 3 and M = 100 TeV = 10 14 eV , the archive computes
1 g cm 3 4.31 × 10 18 eV 4 ,
m eff 2 = 4.31 × 10 18 eV 4 10 28 eV 2 4.31 × 10 10 eV 2 ,
m eff 2.1 × 10 5 eV ,
ν = m eff c 2 h 5.0 GHz .
This unit check is used operationally to connect laboratory densities to characteristic response frequencies.

2.4.2. Smooth Saturation Gate

To avoid spectral ringing from sharp cutoffs, the archive uses a C 2 -continuous smootherstep gate. Defining x [ 0 , 1 ] ,
smootherstep ( x ) = 6 x 5 15 x 4 + 10 x 3 ,
with clipping outside [ 0 , 1 ] . This function is applied in the density-saturation logic around ρ ρ nuc , ensuring stable frequency-domain behavior.

2.4.3. Density–Time Scaling Law

The core operational law used throughout the test program is a relaxation-time scaling with environment density. The archive presents a parameter-locked form consistent with α 1 / 2 and a critical density scale:
τ ( ρ env ) = τ ref ρ env ρ ref α , α = 1 2 .
We adopt a fixed operational reference density ρ ref and reference time τ ref from the Golden parameter set (Table 1). No per-dataset re-tuning is permitted: α , ρ ref , and τ ref are treated as rigid inputs.
Figure 1. Density –time scaling law τ ( ρ env ) across stiff/soft regimes, shown as the operational driver of template duration and chirp rate.
Figure 1. Density –time scaling law τ ( ρ env ) across stiff/soft regimes, shown as the operational driver of template duration and chirp rate.
Preprints 191491 g001
This scaling implies τ ρ env 1 / 2 : dense environments yield short, “stiff” transients, while diffuse environments yield long, “soft” signals. In practice, the longest resolvable τ is bounded by the record length and by slow instrumental drifts; we therefore interpret the τ limit operationally (soft regime) rather than introducing an additional tunable parameter. The archive further introduces a nuclear saturation density ρ nuc and a smootherstep gate width Δ sat to prevent unphysical behaviour at extreme densities and to stabilise pipelines.

2.5. From Relaxation to Observable: the “Sad Trombone” Negative Chirp

2.5.1. Frequency Relaxation and Chirp Direction

A central claim in the archive is that the observable signature is a transient frequency drift whose direction is negative in MMA-DMF analyses. A minimal relaxation law is
ω ( t ) = ω f + ( ω i ω f ) exp t τ ,
so that
ω ˙ ( t ) = ω i ω f τ exp t τ .
For ω i > ω f , Eq. (20) implies d ω d t < 0 , i.e. a downward chirp.

2.5.2. Phase Accumulation and Complex Template

Matched filtering is performed with a complex template whose phase is the time integral of the instantaneous angular frequency:
Φ ( t ) = 0 t ω ( t ) d t = ω f t + ( ω i ω f ) τ 1 exp t τ .
A corresponding complex template is
h ( t ) = A w ( t ) exp i Φ ( t ) ,
where A is an amplitude parameter and w ( t ) may include smootherstep edge windowing to suppress FFT artifacts. The archive explicitly tests template generation for both nEDM-like (hundreds of seconds) and FRB-like (tens of milliseconds) durations and stresses unit correctness across regimes.
Figure 2. Downward-chirp “Sad Trombone” template driven by τ ( ρ env ) : the carrier relaxes exponentially while the accumulated phase remains continuous, enabling density-aware matched filtering.

2.6. Statistical Methodology: Whitening, Matched Filtering, and False-Positive Control

2.6.1. Noise Whitening

Given strong 1 / f noise at low frequencies in magnetometer data, the archive uses spectral whitening. Let d ( t ) be raw data, d ˜ ( f ) its Fourier transform, and S n ( f ) an estimated one-sided PSD. The whitened data are
d ˜ w ( f ) = d ˜ ( f ) S n ( f ) .

2.6.2. Matched-Filter Inner Product and SNR

Using the standard inner product,
( a | b ) = 4 Re 0 a ˜ ( f ) b ˜ * ( f ) S n ( f ) d f ,
the matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) statistic is
S = ( d | h ) ( h | h ) .
The archive “Platinum” criteria use thresholding on S and on chirp-direction consistency (rejecting d ω d t > 0 as “anti-physical” in MMA-DMF analyses).

2.6.3. False-Positive Rate (FPR) Estimation

False positives are controlled by injections and null tests. Denoting N trials independent trials and N FP events exceeding threshold in noise-only conditions,
FPR = N FP N trials .
The archive emphasizes that drift-removal by static detrending can suppress the target signal and create biased false-positive behavior, motivating the forensic (dynamic-template) approach.

2.7. Network-Coherence Logic and Density-Dependent Delay

For geographically separated sensors, the archive introduces density-dependent delays and a coincidence logic. A Yukawa-screened Shapiro-like delay model is given by
Δ t geo = ( 1 + η ) 2 G M c 3 ln 4 r 1 r 2 b 2 exp b λ ,
and a differential delay between two environments A and B is
Δ t A B = Δ t geo ( ρ A ) Δ t geo ( ρ B ) ,
where λ inherits the density dependence through τ ( ρ ) via the archive scaling logic. These delays feed a multi-station coincidence statistic and are operationalized in the Diamond network-coherence scripts.

3. Results (Chronological Compilation of Archive Tests and Artifacts)

3.1. 22 December 2025: Theoretical Consolidation and Validation Hierarchy

The December 22 report consolidates the microphysical objective: operationalize CP violation required for baryogenesis while satisfying present EDM limits, under a fixed fundamental scale M 100 TeV . It defines the three-tier validation program: Gold (FDT stability), Platinum (false-positive veto via systematics injections), and Diamond (full observational confrontation with real pipelines and real noise).

3.1.1. Gold: Thermodynamic Stability and Kernel Spectral Positivity

The Gold test checks that the strict exponential kernel yields a positive-defined real part in frequency space, enforcing Eq. (9). The provided artifact computes Γ ( ω ) numerically by FFT of Eq. (8) and verifies positivity across a test band. The qualitative pass condition is that no frequency violates positivity, thereby preventing numerical “scalar heating” in long integrations.

3.1.2. Platinum: False-Positive Veto with Systematic Injections

The Platinum program tests whether the matched-filter pipeline rejects false positives created by common analysis practices (notably static detrending) and whether it recovers injected signals with the correct chirp direction. The archive includes a platinum test report (T-FalsePositive-Systematics) in which a target detection statistic is achieved alongside a constrained false-positive rate. One reported run lists a matched-filter SNR S 7.1423 with chirp recovery consistent with the injected direction and an FPR at or below the stated acceptance threshold. A complementary “scrambled phase” null test (1000 trials) yields SNR values below a low cutoff, consistent with a null distribution rather than coherent signal recovery.

3.2. 22–24 December 2025: “Retificação Forense” and the Density-Swap Laboratory Test Design

3.2.1. Forensic Reanalysis Principle

The archive argues that conventional high-pass filtering and linear detrending can remove the very low-frequency structure that encodes the MMA-DMF transient. Instead, the drift is modeled as signal using the density-dependent relaxation law and extracted via matched filtering. The methodology is formalized as: ingest raw magnetometer data without static filtering; generate a downward-chirp template via Eqs. (19)–(22); whiten with Eq. (23); compute SNR via Eq. (25); and search for multi-sensor coincidence peaks.

3.2.2. Operational Laboratory Protocol: T-Environment (Density Swap)

A dedicated laboratory protocol is specified to isolate density dependence from trivial electromagnetic systematics. The core idea is to keep the magnetic field B controlled while changing the local mass-density environment around an otherwise identical sensor. The predicted signature is a transient frequency drift with d ω d t < 0 that relaxes over τ ( ρ ) upon a rapid transition from high-density to low-density environment. The archive further imposes operational hard stops on transit-time timing and minimum logging schema for reproducibility. A commissioning requirement is that the swap transit time satisfies Δ t < 50 ms (hard stop), and that trigger jitter be below 10 μ s RMS, with mandatory logging of density, pressure, Larmor frequency, and timing fields (as recorded in the provided JSON specification).

3.3. 23 December 2025: Unit-Consistency Test and Anti-Systematics Protocol

3.3.1. Unit-Consistency Test (T-Unit-Consistency)

The archive unit test verifies the key mapping Eq. (12) and provides explicit conversions producing GHz-scale frequencies for solid matter and much lower frequencies for vacuum. The computed values in Eq. (13) are used as sanity checks across the FRB (MHz/ms) and laboratory ( μ Hz/s) regimes.

3.3.2. Anti-Systematics Protocol (T-CLOCK-SYS)

The anti-systematics design uses blind swaps between two nominally identical sensors and a veto based on scaling behavior. In MMA-DMF the predicted frequency difference scales as Δ ω ρ 1 ρ 2 , while magnetic systematics scale linearly with B (Zeeman). By sweeping B bias and repeating swaps at fixed density difference, the protocol separates density-driven scalar effects from magnetic artifacts.

3.4. 24 December 2025: Diamond-Grade Pipeline Authorization and Operational Directives

A verdict report dated 24 December 2025 certifies: (i) smoothed gates as verified, (ii) a zero-parameter policy with fixed M = 100 TeV , (iii) integration of the density–time scaling law into the operational section, and (iv) verification of the network-coherence logic and density-dependent delays. The report emphasizes that static filters are prohibited and that dynamic (density-dependent) filters are mandatory for Diamond analyses.

3.5. 27 October 2025 (Archived Batch Table): Diamond Verdict Table Snippet

The consolidated archive also contains a batch-style CSV snippet listing run identifiers, stations, timestamps, algorithm tags, target densities, fitted τ , achieved SNR, improvement ratios, and pass/fail verdicts. The snippet shows that an incorrect-physics filter fails while the corrected-physics configuration can pass at specific target-density hypotheses, illustrating the core Diamond principle: correct density-dependent physics should yield measurable SNR improvement and pass/fail separability in real noise.

Test What it validates Key quantitative outcome (recorded)
T-Beta-Geo (beta saturation) Geometric blocking saturates the effective running and avoids UV pathologies without extra model knobs. The effective coupling stabilizes at α 1 124.8 near the scale M, removing the QED Landau-pole divergence in the audit run.
T-EDM-Osc-STAT (long-integration) Whether the laboratory EDM channel requires stacking, and the drift scale per integration chunk. Over 10 , 000 iterations the inferred laboratory-scale drift is 1.4 × 10 15 Hz s 1 ; single 180 s chunks are sub-threshold, but stacking recovers SNR 18.5 .
Hard nulls (scrambled phase + off-band) That detection is phase-coherent and not power-excess or filtering artefact. Across 1 , 000 null trials, the recovered matched-filter score drops consistently to SNR < 1.5 .
QT-1 (thermodynamic stability / anti-heating) That the memory-kernel regularization prevents scalar “heating” and respects a stable thermal reservoir. Energy drift is suppressed to < 10 6 (audit units per time), ruling out runaway behaviour consistent with a stable reservoir.
T-Unit-Consistency (SI audit) Dimensional and scale consistency for ρ natural units and frequency benchmarks. Converting 1 g cm 3 yields a benchmark matter-response frequency near 5.0 GHz in the audit conversion, preventing silent order-of-magnitude errors.
T-CLOCK-SYS (blind swap systematic veto) A design-level discriminator: MMA-DMF signal scaling versus magnetic/thermal systematics. Blind swapping two identical sensors isolates that the MMA-DMF channel scales as ρ while magnetic systematics scale B , providing a topology-based veto.

4.7. Supplementary Equation Context (Audit-Complete; Not Extra Degrees of Freedom)

The revised EDM manuscript is meant to function as a laboratory-ready “instruction manual” for EDM/T-Environment tests. However, the audited archive also contains operational formulae from cosmology and quantum-contextuality modules that (i) are implemented in the code paths and (ii) remove ambiguity about how the model avoids nuclear, numerical, or vacuum-instability pathologies. For completeness—and to prevent the “values used but equations missing” failure mode—we explicitly record here the key relations that were previously present only in the audit TXTs.

Topological charge quantisation (U.5).

Geometric flavour charges are not free parameters; they follow a winding-number law (generation index N Z ):
q ( N ) = κ N 2 + λ sin 2 N π 2 + δ N .
Calibrating with the top anchor N = 0 q = 0 fixes κ 3.18 , λ 0.54 , yielding (example spectrum): Top q 0 , Bottom q 4.9 , Electron q 12.72 , Neutrino q 30.3 .

Explicit nuclear saturation gate (U.15c).

The atomic-scale coupling used in magnetometers is regulated by a dimensionless nuclear gate:
g nuc ( ρ ) = 1 W gate ln ( ρ / ρ nuc ) Δ sat ,
so that the effective interaction remains active in the electron cloud ( ρ ρ nuc ) while turning off smoothly at nuclear densities. A representative operational effective coupling is
g ϕ γ γ eff ( ρ ) = α EM 4 π ϕ M 1 ρ ρ sat g nuc ( ρ ) .

Operational cross-covariance (10.31).

Science-Run joint likelihoods include an explicit cross-block term coupling geometric distortions (e.g. lensing/BAO) to growth suppression (RSD):
C cross ( β ; k ) = β 2 C geo C growth K corr ( k ) .

Network geometric coherence functional (U.21).

For a candidate event time t 0 and plane-front velocity v , the audited GNOME coincidence statistic is
C geo ( v , t 0 ) = 1 N pairs i < j t 0 t 0 + Δ T d ^ i ( t ) d ^ j t δ t kin , i j ( v ) Δ τ i j ( ρ ) d t 1 N pairs i < j t 0 t 0 + Δ T d ^ i ( t ) d ^ j t δ t kin , i j ( v ) Δ τ i j ( ρ ) d t .
This form is essential because each station has a different effective density and therefore a different relaxation morphology; the statistic must correlate distorted waveforms rather than forcing identical shapes.

Smooth linearisation guard (N.26).

To avoid derivative discontinuities and solver ringing as ρ 0 , the non-linear terms are multiplied by an effective factor
N eff ( ρ , V ) N bare ( ρ ) 2 W gate x ( ρ , V ) , x ( ρ , V ) 1 2 1 + ρ ρ crit 2 + c | V | 2 M 6 1 .
with ρ crit γ MR M 4 M Pl / M 2 (Planck-suppressed macrorealism gate scale).

Geometric MSW potential for neutrinos (N.19).

Neutrino flavour evolution in a scalar background includes an effective matter potential
V geo ( x ) = q ν M μ ϕ p μ E ,
entering the effective Schrödinger equation for flavour oscillations in non-trivial scalar environments.

Vacuum tunnelling penalty (10.28).

Vacuum-stability constraints are enforced directly at likelihood level via
NLL ( A ) Δ χ tunnel 2 ( A ) Θ s V ( A ) M ,
penalising configurations that would imply vacuum decay above the fundamental scale.

Hayward–de Sitter regular black hole metric and GW echoes (.68–.69).

Consistency tests for the fundamental scale M use a regularised lapse
f ( r ) = 1 2 G M BH r 2 r 3 + 2 G M BH L 2 + ϵ L 3 ,
implying an echo-delay scaling for waves trapped between the photon sphere and inner core:
Δ t echo 2 r min r max d r f ( r ) 2 G M BH c 3 ln G M BH L .

Dynamic contextuality probability (AO.11).

For the T-Context-2 protocol (time-dependent detector settings), the scalar phase density is promoted to a history-dependent functional:
ρ ( λ , t a ( t ) , b ( t ) ) = N norm exp κ t d t K ( t t ) cos 2 λ θ geo ( a ( t ) , b ( t ) ) .
with an exponential memory kernel
K ( t t ) = Γ scalar exp Γ scalar ( t t ) .
These relations are used in the “Quantum Geometric” test suite and define the expected suppression of Bell/CHSH violations at switching frequencies faster than the vacuum relaxation time.

Unified scalar action and Jordan-frame matter metric (A.1).

For completeness across sectors (EDM, cosmology, compact objects), the audit archive defines the full scalar action with a Gauss–Bonnet correction and an explicit Jordan-frame coupling of matter to a conformally-related metric:
S φ = d 4 x g M Pl 2 2 R 1 2 ( φ ) 2 1 + α G M 3 φ V Z 2 ( φ ) + β GB 2 M 2 ξ ( φ ) G + S m A 2 ( φ ) g μ ν , ψ .
This makes explicit (i) the origin of curvature locking and screening, and (ii) how the scalar couples to baryons without adding tunable parameters in the EDM pipeline (the conformal factor A ( φ ) is fixed by the same Golden set used everywhere else).

Early-X bookkeeping via explicit conservation (.62–.63).

In the EARLY window the archive replaces phenomenological switches by explicit continuity with decay into radiation (to protect BBN while preserving the intended “early bump”):
ρ ˙ X + 3 H ρ X = Γ X ρ X .
ρ ˙ r + 4 H ρ r = + Γ X ρ X .

Supermassive black-hole nuclear switch-off radius (.66).

To guarantee that central (pc-scale) dynamics and EHT constraints remain GR-like, the fifth-force contribution is explicitly disabled inside an “off” radius:
r off = max 10 4 r g , 0.1 pc , r infl , r g = G M BH c 2 , r infl = G M BH σ * 2 .

Super-TOV and tidal deformability source term (A.19–A.20).

For neutron-star tests the standard Clairaut–Radau equation is promoted by an explicit scalar source term (the “Super-TOV” branch):
r d y d r + y 2 + y F GR ( r ) + r 2 Q GR ( r ) + S ϕ new ( r ) = 0 .
S ϕ new ( r ) = 4 π G r 2 e 2 Λ ( r ) c s , eff 2 2 β 2 ρ ( r ) M 2 P eff ( r ) 1 + c s , eff 2 ϵ eff ( r ) + P eff ( r ) Ξ ( ϕ ) ,
which is the operational form used by the compact-object solver to map the Golden coupling β into a Love-number prediction.

Relativistic contextuality in curved spacetime (AO.3).

Beyond static Bell configurations, the archive defines a covariant contextual weight tied to a causal-diamond boundary flux:
ρ ( λ C ) exp 1 eff V n μ μ ϕ [ C ] d Σ .

Curvature-induced geometric phase (AO.4).

For atom interferometers and “Quantum Geometric” tests, the scalar sector induces an extra geometric phase that can be written as
Φ geo = Σ A μ eff d x μ β K M 2 Σ R μ ν ρ σ e μ ν d x ρ d x σ .

Jeans/pressure filtering transfer function (AA.1–AA.2).

To suppress unphysical small-scale baryon clustering (and to implement the “pressure filter” used in the hydrodynamic/IGM consistency module) the archive uses the Jeans scale
k J ( a ) = 3 2 a H ( a ) c s ( a ) ,
and the associated smooth filter
S J ( k , a ) = exp k k J ( a ) 2 .

Scale-dependent growth and baryon power evolution (F.1).

For IGM/Ly α consistency checks the scale-dependent linear growth D ( a , k ) and its logarithmic rate are defined by
f ( a , k ) d ln D ( a , k ) d ln a , P δ b ( k , z ) = D 2 ( a , k ) P δ b ( k , z ini ) .

Smooth pressure filtering and flux-power mapping (F.2–F.3).

A smooth pressure filter is applied before mapping baryon fluctuations into transmitted flux:
k J ( z ) 3 a H ( z ) 2 c s ( T 0 ) , S p ( k ) = exp k k J 2 , P δ b S p ( k ) P δ b .
In the linear FGPA mapping the 3D flux power spectrum is taken as
P F ( k , μ , z ) = b F 2 ( z ) 1 + β F ( z , k ) μ 2 2 P δ b ( k , z ) .
Here μ k ^ · n ^ is the cosine to the line of sight, and b F , β F are the effective bias and Kaiser factor used in the pipeline documentation.

5. Laboratory Handoff: the T-Environment Density-Swap Test

The T-Environment experiment is the replication vehicle: it turns a one-off network candidate into a controlled laboratory signal by actively modulating the local density around a precision sensor. The core prediction is degree-of-freedom-free: a rapid change in ρ env forces a non-adiabatic change in τ ( ρ env ) , producing a mandatory negative chirp and exponential relaxation consistent with the “Sad Trombone” template (Section 2.5). This section is written as a handoff page: it tells an independent laboratory exactly what to build, what to log, what to run, and what constitutes a pass/fail.

5.1. What Must Be Built

At minimum, the setup must provide:
  • A phase-sensitive sensor (SERF-class magnetometer or EDM-cell phase readout) with bandwidth sufficient to resolve τ in the stiff regime.
  • A controlled density modulator that can repeatably switch between a high-density configuration and a low-density (vacuum/void) configuration around the sensor.
  • Magnetic shielding and environmental monitoring adequate to apply Platinum-style vetoes.
A concise engineering snapshot is given in Table 11.

5.2. Timing and Invalidation Rules (Hard Stop)

The density swap must be fast compared to the expected τ to avoid adiabatic tracking. The handoff adopts a hard invalidation rule: any swap with transit time Δ t 50   ms is automatically invalid for MMA–DMF signal claims (the field relaxes before the measurement window). Operational timing and logging requirements are summarised in Table 15.
Table 15. Selected operational requirements for the density-swap (T-Environment) protocol. Any violation of the hard-stop constraints invalidates the run for MMA–DMF claims.
Table 15. Selected operational requirements for the density-swap (T-Environment) protocol. Any violation of the hard-stop constraints invalidates the run for MMA–DMF claims.
Component Requirement Acceptance criteria
Trigger timing Jitter < 10 μ s RMS timestamp monotonic; commissioning + each run
High-density shield Thickness 20 cm full coverage around sensor path
Transit time Hard stop < 50   ms any swap with Δ t 50   ms invalidates run
Minimum log fields canonical CSV schema no nulls in critical fields

5.3. Data Acquisition and Logging

Replication requires raw time series stored at 5   kHz sampling, with:
  • monotonic trigger timestamps (sub- 10 μ s RMS jitter),
  • explicit state labels for the density configuration (HIGH/LOW),
  • synchronous environmental channels (temperature, vibration, local field monitors),
  • full metadata: shield geometry, swap actuator parameters, vacuum level, and calibration constants.
The Diamond candidate event summary (Table 8) defines the minimum fields needed to interpret a run as a handoff anchor.

5.4. Handoff Bundle (Single-File Delivery; Fixed Directory Layout)

5.5. Equation Mapping to the Audited Execution Texts

The latest audit texts make explicit which formulae are operational (used in execution) versus supporting (consistency scaffolding). In the handoff bundle, the relevant equations are referenced by tag:
  • In the “Final Report & Laboratory Handoff” material: Eq. (18) (density–time Rosetta law), Eq. (U.15c) (nuclear saturation gate), and Eq. (U.21) (network coherence statistic).
  • In the “Diamond & Science Run 5” execution report: Eq. (10.31) (cross-covariance term) and the practical detection filters implementing Eq. (18) and Eq. (U.21) for the Event 4328 candidate.

5.6. Acceptance Criteria (Degree-of-Freedom-Free)

A run is a MMA-DMF pass only if: (i) the recovered chirp sign is negative ( d ω d t < 0 ); (ii) the fitted τ scales with ρ env according to Eq. (18) with no re-tuning of α ; (iii) null trials (scrambled phase/off-band) suppress the SNR as specified by the Platinum veto suite; and (iv) the pipeline recovers the provided injections at the expected SNR. These gates are intentionally non-negotiable: if they fail, the model fails.

6. Discussion

The MMA-DMF archive proposes a coherent program that ties cosmological consistency, microphysical CP dynamics, and precision-coherence phenomenology into a single operational framework. The principal interpretive claim is that EDM constraints should be applied to transient spectra rather than DC offsets, because density-dependent relaxation naturally suppresses time averages at late times. This shifts experimental emphasis toward (i) reanalysis of archived precision datasets without static detrending and (ii) dedicated density-swap experiments engineered to isolate density dependence. The Gold/Platinum/Diamond hierarchy makes explicit that model validation is not purely about obtaining a best-fit parameter set; rather it is about establishing a signal model whose morphology (negative chirp) and environmental scaling ( τ ρ 1 / 2 ) are discriminative. The use of smootherstep gates, strict FDT closure, and spectral positivity tests addresses a common failure mode in stochastic-scalar simulations: spurious long-duration drift from numerical artifacts. The unit-consistency test further anchors the physical plausibility of the density-to-frequency mapping, ensuring that the same core equations can be used across FRB-like and laboratory-like regimes without dimensional ambiguity. The main limitations are operational. The density-swap laboratory protocol requires strict timing control (hard-stop transit times) and comprehensive logging, and its validity hinges on entering the intended stiff/soft regimes without adiabatic relaxation during transitions. Similarly, network-coherence claims depend on properly modeling density-dependent delays and on prohibiting static filtering that could remove the target low-frequency structure. These limitations are not fatal, but they define the engineering and analysis constraints required for a definitive test.

7. Conclusions

The MMA-DMF EDM program, as represented by the audited archive, is intended to be executed as a rigid, degree-of-freedom-free pipeline: the Golden parameter set is fixed, no per-dataset knobs are introduced, and all claims reduce to falsifiable protocol outcomes. Using the full provided archive, we have produced a unified scientific manuscript for the MMA-DMF CP/EDM program. The theoretical core is a chronology mechanism that reconciles early-universe CP activity with late-time EDM null results via geometric locking, thermal kicking, and density-dependent screening. The operational core is a density-controlled relaxation transient that manifests as a negative chirp in precision-coherence measurements, motivating matched filtering with dynamically generated templates rather than static detrending. The archive tests establish: (i) thermodynamic stability via strict exponential-kernel FDT closure and spectral positivity; (ii) a methodology for false-positive suppression using injections and null-phase trials; (iii) a unit-consistent mapping from density to effective mass/frequency; and (iv) an executable Diamond pipeline specification with mandatory dynamic filtering and logging constraints. The decisive next step is experimental: implement the T-Environment density-swap laboratory protocol under the stated hard-stop timing and logging requirements, and reanalyze archived nEDM/EDM/co-magnetometer drift channels using the density-dependent matched-filter templates defined here.

7.1. Audit-Derived Conclusions Beyond the Core EDM Narrative

The audited technical notes include several conclusions that are not strictly required to run the EDM pipeline, but materially affect how legacy null results are interpreted, how the fifth-force hypothesis is operationally framed, and what constitutes a decisive next experimental step.
  • The detrending fallacy (why others can fail). Audit notes argue that standard “slow-drift removal” in frontier EDM analyses (e.g. high-pass filtering or polynomial detrending) can erase precisely the predicted low-frequency, density-driven negative-chirp transient. In that reading, decades of “instrumental drift rejection” may have been systematically discarding the sector’s target morphology rather than cleaning it.
  • Status of the fifth force: “rejected noise”. The audit conclusion is that static analyses are largely blind to a density-dependent relaxation time τ ( ρ ) . Consequently, non-Gaussian “glitches” and slow, environment-linked residuals that are usually classified as nuisance structure are treated here as the search space where a geometric fifth-force signature would live.
  • Popperian vulnerability as rigor. Audit notes emphasize that the “zero-parameter policy” (fixed M = 100 TeV and fixed Golden inputs) is intentionally epistemically vulnerable: the program is designed to be maximally falsifiable. If the density-swap protocol and reanalyses do not reproduce the predicted scaling and morphology, the model is not rescued by retuning energy scales.
  • Thermodynamic unification: screening and stability. Audit logs highlight that the same mathematical structures used to implement screening (gates that suppress couplings in dense environments) also control suppression of unphysical “scalar heating” in the stochastic dynamics. In this framing, vacuum stability and macroscopic screening are two manifestations of the same geometric “impedance” encoded by the kernel/gating architecture.
  • “Evidence” versus “discovery”: the Event 4328 threshold. Execution notes treat the 4.2 σ candidate (Event 4328) as evidence, not discovery; a conventional discovery bar (5 σ ) is explicitly not met. The dominant uncertainty is attributed to imperfect environmental density knowledge (e.g. geologic Hayward-density proxies), which makes dedicated T-Environment hardware mandatory rather than optional for a definitive claim.
  • Roadmap to a deeper theory (next steps). The handoff material closes with a strategic statement: if rigidity of q f and M survives laboratory and archival tests, the next milestone is a microphysical derivation of the geometric charges from topology, including an explicit connection between the Higgs sector and the MMA-DMF geometric scaffolding (a “ToE”-oriented program).

7.2. Replication Constraints and Falsifiability Conditions (Audit-Derived)

For completeness, we summarize several replication constraints and falsifiability conditions stated in the audit TXT logs. The statements below are paraphrased from those logs to fit a preprint style; the technical requirements and acceptance logic are unchanged.
  • Replication mandate: controlled T-Environment driving is required. In the audits, the density-swap hardware is treated as required to move from an evidence-level ( 4.2 σ ) candidate toward a discovery-grade ( 5 σ ) test. Operationally, the point is to enable on-demand driving of the density dependence rather than relying on rare stochastic astrophysical triggers.
  • Scope of existing static analyses: prior pipelines are not a decisive test. The audit position is that prior datasets do not constitute a decisive fifth-force test under static, axion-like filtering assumptions. The audits argue that legacy pipelines classified the relevant morphology as “glitches” or “non-Gaussian noise” precisely because they were blind to τ ( ρ ) -driven variability.
  • Hard invalidation mode: the transit-time limit is a binary validity criterion. The manuscript lists a hard-stop transit time ( < 50 ms ) as an engineering specification; the audits treat it as a binary validity criterion. If the shuttle motion is slower, adiabatic adjustment can occur, the field can relax before readout, and the density-swap test is invalidated by construction. The audits note that apparent “null” outcomes can therefore arise from mechanical/temporal failure modes, independent of the underlying hypothesis.
  • Fixed-parameter falsifiability: no retuning of M or Golden inputs. The fixed M = 100 TeV policy is presented academically as precision; the audits frame it as deliberate epistemic vulnerability. There are no parameters to absorb disagreement: if the predicted scaling and morphology fail under the defined protocol, the hypothesis is not retuned; it is treated as falsified under the fixed-parameter policy.
  • The flavor-charge blind spot: the program is operationally closed, ontologically incomplete. The audits explicitly acknowledge that q f and M remain locked but still treated as topological inputs. The handoff concludes that the project is not “complete” until the microphysical origin of these charges is derived (including an explicit Higgs-sector connection), i.e. the ToE-oriented next step.
  • “Trench engineering” details that matter. The TXT notes include bench-level directives that rarely appear in polished manuscripts: material choices (e.g. ferrite vs. mu-metal) to suppress eddy-current effects that can mimic scalar drifts, and shielding design details (e.g. ventilation/relief features) to avoid creating an unintended “scalar Faraday cage”. These are treated as practical failure modes, not optional optimizations.

Reproducibility requires public release of the digital handoff bundle.

The model’s “zero-parameter” posture only has scientific force if independent groups can run the same pipeline against their own data. Accordingly, replication should not depend on private audit archives. A minimal public release must include: (i) the fixed parameter file config/golden_params.json (including M 100 TeV and the geometric charge spectrum q f ); (ii) the template-generation rules config/template_spec.json (chirp sign, τ ( ρ ) scaling, and gating choices); (iii) the reference analysis scripts (matched filtering, whitening/PSD estimation, and QC veto logic), including the forensic and network-coherence modules; and (iv) benchmark datasets for validation (reference injections and “hard null” trials demonstrating SNR < 1.5 ). Without an archival link/DOI to these artifacts, the work risks being read as “trust the archive” rather than a falsifiable protocol.

7.3. Forensic Code, Trench Engineering, and Raw Benchmarks (Audit-Only Operational Directives)

The manuscript consolidates the physics and the external replication protocol, but the audited TXT record is explicit that successful independent replication requires shipping more than equations: it requires the exact operational code paths, the failure genealogy, and the non-negotiable engineering constraints that prevent silent “pipeline drift”. The following items are treated in the audits as part of the minimum deliverable for Diamond-grade replication (Audit TXT refs in parentheses).
  • Forensic source code (the operational brain). The audits stress that the decisive logic lives in the executable Python reference implementations (e.g. the Diamond coherence driver and network-coherence validator), not in the prose description of Eqs. (U.21) and the matched-filter statistic.
    • Hierarchical HDF5 ingestion. The audited code includes recursive HDF5 tree navigation (via h5py traversal) so that heterogeneous lab files can be ingested without hard-coding dataset names, locating channels such as /Station1/MagData or /RawData/Bfield across independent lab conventions (e.g. Berkeley, Hayward, Mainz). (Audit TXT 1–3)
    • PSD whitening (Welch). The audits do not merely recommend whitening; they ship the specific PSD-estimation and 1/f inversion procedure (Welch-style segment averaging) used to prevent the negative-chirp “Sad Trombone” transient from being misclassified as thermal drift. (Audit TXT 9)
  • Failure genealogy (why earlier pipelines failed). The audits preserve “forensic” failure logs that explain how null outcomes can be produced mechanically or numerically even when the morphology is present.
    • Unit underflow. A prior configuration that expressed drifts in GHz / ms caused numerical underflow/rounding so that physically small but nonzero drifts were reported as exactly 0.0 , including in magnetar-like cases. (Audit TXT 15)
    • Scale safety directive. The audits explicitly note that drifts of order 5 × 10 8 GHz / ms can truncate to zero in typical pipelines, motivating a hard directive to report in MHz / ms (or equivalent) as a safety rule, not a stylistic preference. (Audit TXT 18)
  • Search parameters for multimessenger triggers (LIGO/Virgo). The audits include concrete, operator-facing search-window choices for real-world event association, beyond the generic “delay modeling” discussion.
    • Correlation window. Use a dedicated search window of ± 500 s around confirmed LIGO/Virgo events when scanning for scalar precursors/“dark series” in network data products. (Audit TXT 21)
    • Velocity consistency. Enforce that the inferred wall/feature velocity vector v is consistent with a galactic-domain-wall crossing scale, v 300 km . s 1 , when mapping station delays and density-dependent morphologies. (Audit TXT 22)
  • Strategic “ToE” roadmap (Next Steps). The audits are explicit that the current program is operationally closed but ontologically incomplete: it locks q f and M as topological inputs while deferring their microphysical origin.
    • Named next project. The audited handoff identifies the next mandated theory deliverable as “From Higgs Fields to Geometry: The Geometric Origin of Standard Model Masses in the MMA–DMF Framework”. (Audit TXT 23–24)
    • Incompleteness statement. The framework remains “ontologically incomplete” until the flavor charges q f are derived microphysically (Higgs-sector linkage), rather than treated as externally provided topological inputs. (Audit TXT 23)
  • Administrative directive and geological uncertainty. The audits attach the practical conclusion to the evidence/discovery threshold: the current candidate is limited by geological density estimation uncertainty, and the only path to 5 σ is controlled density driving.
    • Hayward-density uncertainty. The audits explicitly attribute the dominant uncertainty to the fact that the relevant “Hayward density” is presently an estimate rather than a hardware-controlled variable. (Audit TXT 28)
    • Execution directive. The handoff material includes an internal execution directive (dated 2025-12-24) to build the pneumatic density-swap shuttle promptly, rather than waiting for another random cosmic event, because controlled on-demand driving is required to move from evidence toward discovery-grade significance. (Audit TXT 28–29)
