Tier 3: Major Experiments

LIGO O4/O5 + multi-messenger follow-up  •  3–5 years

Prediction: Gravitational wave arrival time correlates with dark matter column density along line of sight

Kill: No correlation at 10⁻¹⁶ level after 20+ multi-messenger events

Distinguishing power: VERY HIGH — GR predicts exactly zero correlation

Quantum optics lab with precision environment control  •  2–3 years

Prediction: Decoherence shows discrete steps at MRH boundaries, not continuous decay

Kill: Decoherence is perfectly smooth at all measured timescales

Distinguishing power: HIGH — standard decoherence theory predicts smooth decay

X-ray + optical survey telescopes  •  2–4 years

Prediction: Cluster-scale γ shows characteristic profile: γ ≈ 2 at outskirts, γ < 1 in ICM cores

Kill: No radial γ gradient in cluster profiles

Distinguishing power: MODERATE — tests scale invariance of γ at cluster scales

Materials science lab + cryogenics  •  2 years

Prediction: New materials with optimized η (pair-breaking efficiency) show enhanced T_c

Kill: η optimization produces no T_c improvement over random search

Distinguishing power: MODERATE — tests whether η is useful as design parameter

Neuropixels + high-density EEG + fMRI  •  3–5 years

Prediction: Neural coherence shows scale-free structure with phase transition at C ≈ 0.50

Kill: Neural coherence shows no scale-free structure; threshold varies >50% across subjects

Distinguishing power: HIGH — tests consciousness framework directly

Radio telescope time (resolved HI rotation curves in voids)  •  2–3 years

Prediction: Void galaxies show higher DM fraction than cluster galaxies at same M_bar

Kill: DM fraction independent of cosmic environment

Distinguishing power: MEDIUM — environment-dependent DM fraction is also predicted by MOND's External Field Effect (Bekenstein-Milgrom 1984; EFE weakens in voids). A positive result confirms Synchronism and MOND+EFE equally. Not a discriminating test vs MOND. See TEST-05 (same EFE signature, lower cost).

Euclid mission data  •  3–5 years

Prediction: BAO peak shows fine structure (sub-peaks) from coherence interference

Kill: BAO peak is smooth Gaussian to 10⁻⁵ level in Euclid data

Distinguishing power: EXPLORATORY — no derived amplitude exists. Without a predicted sub-peak amplitude, any non-detection is consistent with "amplitude too small." Demote to exploratory until amplitude is derived. (Same standard applied to TEST-07 — 500 Mpc oscillation demoted for missing amplitude.)
