UDEL — Predictions

Below are the predictions derived from the Universal Discrete Energy Lattice (UDEL) framework. They are structured in collapsible documentation-style sections for clarity and expansion.

1. Physical Predictions
  • Planck-scale jitter in photon arrival times from distant sources.
  • Curvature-dependent vacuum density measurable via Casimir deformation.
  • Δt-beating effects around massive bodies.
  • Adjacency saturation effects detectable as micro-horizon formation in high-density plasmas.
  • Mild anisotropy in gravitational lensing at extremely small angular scales.
2. Cosmological Predictions
  • Natural emergence of the NFW profile from hop-distance geometry.
  • Dark matter ratio ~5:1 predicted from Δτ-layer offsets.
  • No Big Bang singularity — early universe is a compression expansion cycle of adjacency.
  • Cosmic acceleration emerges from global adjacency growth, not dark energy.
  • Large-scale structure should exhibit discrete-shell statistical anisotropy.
3. Engineering & Translation Predictions
  • Inertial suppression is possible by manipulating adjacency-weight gradients.
  • Translation (non-accelerative motion) can occur via Δτ-layer reconfiguration.
  • Localized curvature modulation can stabilize high-energy plasma structures.
  • Void Craft propulsion does not require thrust; instead uses lattice relocking.
  • Artificial horizons become possible via adjacency saturation engineering.
4. Experimental Tests & Falsification
  • High-frequency pulsar timing arrays should reveal Δt-jitter signatures.
  • Extremely high-energy particle collisions should show micro-saturation behavior.
  • Gravitational lensing fine structure can detect hop-distance quantization.
  • Quantum tunneling rates slightly depend on local curvature (small but measurable).
  • Vacuum energy shifts occur near strong adjacency defects (Casimir deviations).
