Experimental programme
A practical
sequence.
Experiments follow five steps, from a specified apparatus to stated conclusions. No experiment, laboratory partnership or device booking is claimed on this page.
Sequence
Five steps
- A
Specify the apparatus and model
Identify preparations, measured quantities, instrument, noise assumptions, clock calibration and record mechanism.
- B
Freeze the evaluation protocol
Set the forecast rule, controller, comparators, data exclusions, metrics and rejection criteria before inspecting evaluation outcomes.
- C
Check implementation
Use exact cases and simulations to verify the model and software. Label these checks as mathematical or simulation checks, not experimental results.
- D
Evaluate prospectively
Use held-out records or a prospective experiment with appropriate controls and complete reporting of eligible trials.
- E
Assess physical and engineering conclusions
State what the evidence supports, which model it tests and what remains unresolved.

What every displayed result must carry
No dataset or benchmark is currently displayed. Any future result will carry this provenance:
- Source and version
- Experimental or synthetic origin
- Units and outcome definitions
- Training and evaluation separation
- Exclusion rules
- Metric definitions
- Sample counts and uncertainty
- Code or calculation reference
Historical proposals
Earlier experimental ideas
Earlier PDT papers proposed a coherence floor, a Yukawa-type force signature and photon parity or helicity effects. These proposals are retained in the historical research record, but are not current predictions of the foundational suite. A testable prediction requires a specified physical model, a quantitative calculation and an experimental protocol.
