Monitored-Recurrence Reference-Switch Experiment
A lab-facing entry point for a sealed A1 reference-switch proposal using first-detection recurrence resonances.
Does a reciprocal switch between two physically qualified scheduler roles move the location of the same monitored-recurrence transition?
No existing Barkai-group result is interpreted as evidence for QTT. This protocol contains no laboratory result.
If the A1 terminal graph cannot be certified before data, the outcome is TARGET_NOT_ACTIVATED, not a theory verdict.
This is the registered result after ordinary clock transfer and a qualified reciprocal role swap.
This target is executable only once the pre-data activation certificate is signed.
The bare five-standard-deviation separation is logarithmic: u_Delta <= 0.0158347184. The current v2.04 design gate is stricter: u_Delta <= 0.006, with the entire 95% interval inside the registered log-space compatibility band of half-width 0.025 and the competing point excluded by at least five standard deviations. The earlier 0.008 planning goal is superseded. Failure produces QUALIFIED_BUT_UNDERPOWERED, not support for either target.
Clocks and rulers: the v2.04 qualification
Predict both alternatives at the raw detector using the same physical paths and clearly defined clocks, rulers and synchronization. Count each relativistic effect once. Independent calibration must carry its uncertainty through the comparison; the target data cannot select a correction that forces either answer.
Before acquisition and target access, seal the apparatus packet and demonstrate blind recovery of both inherited alternatives at every planned operating setting. Start with current/CURRENT_RELATIVISTIC_EXECUTION.md in the current reconstruction. The original targets, classifier and historical seals are unchanged. Every acquired outcome remains archived.
- 1. Monitored system. Identify a finite-dimensional evolve-measure-restart system and phase-merger transitions that can be mapped without visual selection.
- 2. Qualified roles. Build the disciplined and autonomous scheduler roles, plus their ordinary clock-transfer function. An autonomous device is not automatically an A1 terminal.
- 3. Activation packet. Freeze Hamiltonian lock, role swap, transfer, finite-N model, covariance decision, raw schema, blindness firewall, and source-to-hardware reasoning before target blocks.
- 4. Controls. Use hidden-sign frequency offsets, trigger latency, timing jitter, gain, and drift injections. The paper requires a primary restart horizon N >= 1024 unless a pre-data simulation justifies equal or better root resolution.
- 5. Open one frozen estimator. Report the point comparison, uncertainty, eligibility diagnostics, and every failed gate. No replacement angle or post-hoc exception is allowed.
A first conversation should decide whether the platform can realize the terminal topology and whether the controls are credible. Before a campaign begins, agree in writing on scope, authorship, data access, budget, and release terms. The point is a clean test, not a vague signal hunt.
