Coherence-Modulated Gravity: Laboratory Experiment Design & Null Results

Computational and experimental workflows exploring matter-geometry coupling through macroscopic quantum coherence and curvature–electromagnetism couplings. Includes systematic null-result studies and exclusion limits for beyond-GR physics.

Repository Highlights (v1.0.0+):

• Two publication-ready manuscripts: (i) coherence-gravity validation, (ii) null results & exclusion limits
• Enhanced analysis pipeline: CLI sweeps for ξ, materials, curvature–EM limits (B, R, precision)
• Automated reporting: CSV/Markdown/LaTeX table generation via generate_report.py
• Reproducible pipeline: pinned environment (Python 3.13, numpy 1.26, scipy 1.11.3)
• Verification scripts: 41 tests passing in ~94s with SHA256-keyed result caching
• Data integrity: Complete SHA256 manifests for timestamped result artifacts
• Experimental feasibility: Cryogenic torsion balance achieves SNR=5 in 0.7-24 hours

Key Scientific Results:

• Coherence-gravity signals: τ_coh = 1.4 ± 0.2 × 10⁻¹² N·m (convergence at 81³-101³ resolution)
• Null results: Systematic sweeps over ξ ∈ {50,100}, materials, and geometries yield consistent nulls at numerical floor (|Δτ| ≈ 5×10⁻¹³ N·m)
• Curvature–EM exclusion limits: κ_R < 5×10¹⁷ m² for B=10T, R=10⁻²⁶ m⁻², δ=10⁻⁶ (terrestrial lab constraints)
• CLI analysis tools: Sweeps for coupling strengths, materials, magnetic fields, Ricci curvature, and experimental precision
• Energy reduction: 10⁶-10¹⁰× gravitational coupling suppression with coherent systems
• Critical requirement: Cryogenic operation (4K) + 10× seismic isolation essential
