Tier 1: Existing Data

10 Tests, $0 Cost

These 10 tests use publicly available datasets. No new hardware, no new observations. Just analysis. This is where Synchronism should be tested first.

TEST-01: SPARC Environment Dependence

$0 / 6 weeks

Data: SPARC (175 galaxies)

Prediction: Rotation curve residuals correlate with local galaxy density

Kill: No correlation between residuals and environment at 2σ

TEST-02: Wide Binary Density Dependence

$0 / 6 months

Data: Gaia DR3

Prediction: Wide binary anomaly depends on local stellar density

Kill: Anomaly independent of local density

TEST-03: ALFALFA-SDSS TFR Scatter

$0 / 3 months

Data: ALFALFA + SDSS (14,585 galaxies)

Prediction: TFR residual captures all intrinsic scatter (51% improvement)

Kill: TFR residual explains <20% of scatter

TEST-04: BAO Coherence Modulation

$0 / 6 months

Data: DESI, SDSS DR17, Euclid

Prediction: BAO peak shifts ~10⁻⁴ between high/low-density regions

Kill: BAO identical everywhere to 10⁻⁵ precision

TEST-05: RAR Environment Partition

$0 / 2 months

Data: SPARC + density catalogs

Prediction: RAR scatter shows NP2 environment dependence (p = 5×10⁻⁶)

Kill: RAR scatter independent of Hubble type / environment

TEST-06: CDM σ_int with BIG-SPARC

$0 (data) / 1–2 years (data availability)

Data: Future resolved rotation curves

Prediction: σ_int remains at 0.086 dex with larger sample

Kill: σ_int > 0.12 dex with N > 1000

TEST-07: Cosmic Interference Patterns

$0 / 6 months

Data: SDSS, DES, DESI surveys

Prediction: Galaxy cluster separations show oscillatory modulation at λ ~ 500 Mpc

Kill: No oscillations above 3σ out to 2000 Mpc

TEST-08: Freeman Law Derivation Test

$0 / 1 month

Data: SPARC surface brightness data

Prediction: Σ₀ emerges from first principles with <5% error

Kill: Derived Σ₀ differs from observed by >15%

TEST-09: BTFR Exponent Universality

$0 / 3 months

Data: Multi-band TFR datasets

Prediction: BTFR exponent n ≈ 2.2 universal across bands

Kill: Exponent varies by >0.3 across bands

TEST-10: Dwarf Galaxy DM Dominance

$0 / 2 months

Data: LITTLE THINGS + SPARC dwarfs

Prediction: DM fraction → 100% for M_bar < 10⁸ M☉

Kill: Baryon-dominated dwarfs below 10⁸ M☉ exist

Recommended Start

Tests 01, 02, and 04 are the most decisive. They test genuinely novel predictions (not reparametrizations) and can discriminate between Synchronism, MOND, and ΛCDM. If all three fail, the framework's cosmological predictions are dead.
