Top 5 Decisive Tests
Most DiscriminatingOf the 24 defined experiments, these five have the highest distinguishing power — they can discriminate between Synchronism, ΛCDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter), MOND, and standard frameworks. Ranked by decisiveness.
BAO (Baryon Acoustic Oscillation) Coherence Modulation
Standard cosmology predicts zero density dependence of BAO peak position. Synchronism predicts ~10⁻⁴ shift. This is a clean discriminator with no ambiguity.
Kill: BAO identical everywhere to 10⁻⁵ precision
Wide Binary Density Dependence
MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) predicts density-independent anomaly. Synchronism predicts density-dependent. Uses existing Gaia DR3 data. The cleanest test of environment dependence.
Kill: Anomaly independent of local stellar density
EEG (Electroencephalography) Anesthesia Phase Transition
Tests the most striking consciousness prediction: consciousness loss is a phase transition, not gradual decline. If the threshold is universal, the entire consciousness framework has empirical support.
Kill: Consciousness loss is gradual with no threshold clustering
Gravitational Wave Speed–Dark Matter Column Correlation
GW170817 already constrains Synchronism to GR-equivalent at |α| < 3.0 × 10⁻¹⁵ (Baker et al. 2017). Synchronism is consistent with GR's exact-zero prediction — meaning this constraint was passed vacuously. This test discriminates only if Synchronism predicts a positive signal above zero, which it does not currently. Listed to track if a positive-signal prediction is added.
Kill: No correlation at 10⁻¹⁶ level after 20+ events
Cosmic Interference Patterns
Candidate only — derivation pending. The ~500 Mpc scale has not been derived from the framework's parameters. The /cosmic-interference page explicitly states "this is not a prediction in the scientific sense." Listed here to track progress; if the scale is derived from first principles, it would be unique to Synchronism. Until then, not yet a decisive test.
Kill: No oscillations above 3σ out to 2000 Mpc
The Strategy
Two decisive tests are Tier 1 (TEST-04, TEST-02 — zero cost, existing data). Start there. If both fail, Synchronism's cosmological predictions are dead and no further investment is warranted. If any succeed, they fund the case for TEST-11 (EEG, $150K).
This is how science should work: cheapest tests first, escalate only on success.
* TEST-15 (GW correlation, #4) was already constrained by GW170817 (Baker+ 2017); it moves from “future test” to “monitoring” until a positive-signal prediction is added. TEST-07 (Cosmic Interference, #5) has no derivation yet — it is a candidate, not a current prediction.See derivation status →
