Selected priority & evidence anchors

Five cross-domain records worth seeing first.

This is a deliberately selected homepage view rather than the complete audit ledger. It surfaces the most important empirical and prospective records across gravitational-wave, collider, atomic, and neutrino-detector work. The full Priority registry retains the complete dated chronology and validation record.

01 · GWTC · Frozen holdout

Chirp-mass mode survives the frozen holdout

Training-only selection froze k*=9.6023256 before the 104-event holdout evaluation. The holdout returned ΔD=10.0354 with Monte Carlo p=0.00129987.

Open GWTC record
02 · CMS · Prospective holdout

Frozen waveform persists across file and period tests

The untouched G2 phase-locked holdout returned A=0.9708618 and Δχ²=126.2832 under the declared background. Interpretation remains background-model sensitive.

03 · NIST · Atomic public data

Bin-stable log-periodic structure in the Fe II line list

The public NIST Atomic Spectra Database program tests bin stability, active-domain winding, Poisson-bootstrap nulls, neighboring ions, implementation parity, and baseline sensitivity.

Open NIST record
04 · LHCb · Collider public data

Log-spectral structure and active-domain winding

The open-data candidate-spectrum analysis tests log-domain residual structure, active-domain winding, Koide-like comb geometry, sideband controls, charm-continuum controls, and veto-window covariance.

Open LHCb record
05 · JUNO · Prospective detector forecast

Detector-facing forecast for ghost-mode structure

The November 20, 2025 study asks whether WCT-motivated log-energy or ghost-mode modulations could survive JUNO energy resolution, smearing, and systematic limitations. It is a falsifiable detectability forecast, not a JUNO observation.

The research idea

Persistent structure as confined wave dynamics.

The homepage follows the proposed dependency flow: a chaotic broadband field organizes its first ZW1 fold around the invariant zero-wave reference, Lyapunov basins draw down the field state, finite-wavenumber selection filters the spectrum, a toroidal Phase–Flux grid routes energy and phase subject to causal-flow constraints, eigenmode attractors emerge, and resonant geometry closes into curvature locking.

01 / 08 · Zero-wave turbulence → ZW1 fold

Illustrative dependency map in the WCT visual language. “Sinkhole” is used here as a visual metaphor for mode-attractor basins; individual stages retain their separate proof, numerical, or proposal status.

  1. 01

    Zero-wave turbulence → ZW1 fold

    Chaotic broadband wave turbulence folds toward a first coherent ZW1 mode in the three spatial directions. The exactly invariant zero-wave state remains the mathematical reference, distinct from the fluctuating field drawn here; the Sobolev n ≤ 3 condition belongs to the boundedness argument in step 03.

  2. 02

    Lyapunov basin flow

    Field states are shown moving through a basin of lower 𝓔_WCT[ψ], not merely down a one-dimensional curve. Under the stated gradient-flow assumptions, trajectories descend toward lower-energy attractor structure.

  3. 03

    Sobolev three-dimensional bound

    1–3D: the H² embedding controls peaks. 4D: a critical multiscale sequence develops a growing peak despite a bounded H² norm. 5–6D: Gaussian concentration grows supercritical. The n-cube projection shows dimensional geometry, not physical confinement failure.

  4. 04

    Finite-k shell selection

    Broadband Fourier support fades outside the preferred nonzero wavenumber k★, revealing the finite-shell diagram. Quartic selection is illustrated by off-shell attenuation—not by moving wavelengths or integrating the WCT PDE.

  5. 05

    Phase–Flux organization

    Energy density u, flux S, and phase θ are illustrated on a toroidal grid with a central spindle-like flow channel. The full capacity rail represents the null-flow normalization, not a measured flux or a solved PFF state. Phase–Flux paper ↗

  6. 06

    Self-emergent eigenmode sinkholes

    Broadband content is visualized draining into competing mode basins—sinkhole-like attractors—while spectral entropy falls and a smaller set of persistent eigenmode-like structures dominates.

  7. 07

    Resonant confinement

    Boundary and feedback conditions organize those selected modes into persistent standing structures rather than freely propagating content.

  8. 08

    Curvature locking

    Phase advances around a curved closed path with integer winding. An illustrated feedback correction drives the seam mismatch toward zero while the tangent and osculating circle track local geometry. The decay is prescribed, not a demonstrated WCT stability law.

Research status. WCT is an independently developed research program spanning mathematical formulation, numerical simulation, experiment, and open-data analysis. Definitions, derivations, computational results, empirical findings, phenomenology, and conjectures remain explicitly separated.

Equation build-up · registered chain

From a closed curve to a density-weighted rest scale.

Scroll through the registered chain. The calculation follows the curve by segment arc length, its Frenet geometry produces \(\sigma(s)\), a declared positive density weight \(w(s)\) changes the measured average, and the constrained phase rail shows whether the displayed loop is perfectly locked or mislocked before the conditional mass map is revealed.

Illustrative computation on a (2,3) torus knot. κ, τ, arc length, σ, the weighted integrals, and the constrained phase rail are computed from the displayed curve. w(s) is an explicitly declared positive demonstration weight, not measured data. The visual reports the resulting mislock α; the mass relation is shown only as the perfect-lock α=0 limit.
