Falsification ledger

Every test we armed against ourselves

Each claim in the registry ships the test that would kill it. 82 are on record. 10 have fired — taking 7 claims to the graveyard and putting 2 in quarantine. Every one of those kills was our own. 27 have never been run, which is the honest weak spot in this table.

USR-2026-0070	Emergent gravity has no observational discriminator Discriminator audit of the emergent-gravity programme, applied to our own work: the thermodynamic-derivation wing has NO observational discriminator. Non-equilibrium Jacobson yields f(R), whose unscreened form is dead by 2.2×10⁴ in PPN γ (Cassini) and whose screened survivor reproduces ΛCDM for any f_R0 including zero. Logarithmic horizon-entropy corrections are 56–120 orders of magnitude too small at every accessible scale. Every zero-parameter holographic dark-energy member is dead. Ġ/G from G ∝ 1/N_horizon is dead by 293×. NO discriminator in the wing we built; the one live prediction is systematics-limited reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0065	Our own measurement drives gravity's thermodynamic derivation Our own measured modular temperature drives the thermodynamic derivation of gravity: reading the boost from the full modular dispersion gives β(x) slope = 3.141533 with R² = 0.9999999995, matching 2π/v_F to 2×10⁻⁵, and the Clausius relation δQ/T = δS closes to 6.6×10⁻⁵ using that temperature — while the naive infinite-space formula is 150% wrong. Λ enters the derivation as an integration constant permitted by the Bianchi identity, not as a sum of zero-point energies. β(x) matches 2π/v_F to 2e-5; Clausius closes to 6.6e-5 on the measured temperature reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0061	Entanglement transmits nothing Entanglement transmits nothing: across 18 interventions on one half of a critical chain (Haar unitaries, projective measurements, non-unital channels, a hard reset) the other half's state is unchanged to 9×10⁻¹⁶, and its full eigenvalue spectrum moves by 4×10⁻¹⁶ — so every observable is unaffected, not merely the tabulated ones. Holevo information about which intervention was chosen is exactly zero against 4.25 bits of choice entropy at the source. Holevo χ about the intervener's choice = 0 exactly (vs 4.25 bits at source) reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0060	A small patch cannot steer the whole system NEGATIVE RESULT bounding a popular claim: in a finite spin chain, operations confined to k sites reach exactly 4^k dimensions — the full local-algebra bound, versus only 2^k on an unentangled product state — but that is merely 0.1–1.6% of the full 2^N space. A small patch does NOT reach the whole space in finite dimensions; full cyclicity needs k = N/2, where float64 fails outright (3264 of 4096). reach = 4^k exactly — only 0.1–1.6% of the full space (not the whole) reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0059	A region of empty space has no state of its own A region of empty space has no state of its own: an 8-site block of vacuum has nonzero entropy and is mixed (1 − Tr ρ² = 0.988) while the whole ring is pure, and its mutual information with the complement equals exactly twice its entropy — 100% of an empty region's entropy is correlation with the rest. Proving correlations never vanish at maximum separation required 120-digit arithmetic (3.68×10⁻⁵⁷). I(A:Aᶜ) = 2·S(A) exactly — an empty region's entropy is 100% correlation reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0058	A two-sided black hole built from entanglement The thermofield double behaves exactly as ER=EPR describes a two-sided black hole: one side alone is perfectly thermal (trace distance 2.7×10⁻¹⁵ from the Gibbs state), the two-sided correlations equal the imaginary-time bridge correlator to 3.3×10⁻¹⁶, entanglement falls monotonically with β (hotter = more bridge), and the cross-side commutator is exactly zero. one side exactly thermal (2.7e-15); bridge identity to 3.3e-16; commutator exactly 0 reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0057	Entanglement counts a theory's degrees of freedom Entanglement counts degrees of freedom: fitting the Calabrese–Cardy law to block entropies alone recovers the central charge c = 0.500062 for the critical Ising chain (CFT value ½, converging to 0.500013 on inner windows) and c → 1 for the free boson as the regulator mass goes to zero. Two universality classes, both counted correctly from entanglement with no other input. c = 0.500062 (Ising, CFT ½) and c → 1 (boson) — read off entanglement alone reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0056	The vacuum's entanglement Hamiltonian is a boost The entanglement Hamiltonian of half the vacuum is a boost: at 200-digit precision the nearest-neighbour couplings ramp linearly with distance from the entangling cut (R² = 0.998–0.999), with the exact near-cut coupling t₁ = 3.141539 matching 2π/v_F to 1.7×10⁻⁵. The implied local temperature T(x) = 1/(2πx) is the Unruh effect on a lattice — and the T in Jacobson's Clausius relation. boost linearity R² = 0.998–0.999 (200-digit); near-cut t₁ = π to 1.7e-5 reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0055	Space rebuilt from entanglement alone Space can be reconstructed from entanglement alone: fed only the mutual-information matrix of a 64-site oscillator ring (blindness proven by a permutation test), classical MDS recovers the ring at r = 0.995 against true geodesics with 93% of the spectrum in a single Fourier pair. Removing entanglement tears space by DISCONNECTION rather than distortion — surviving pairs keep r ≈ 0.99 while the graph shatters. blind reconstruction r = 0.995; connectivity collapses 1.00 → 0 as entanglement is removed reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0054	Entropy rises in both directions of time In an exactly reversible HPP lattice gas (Loschmidt echo returns the initial state bit-for-bit), coarse-grained entropy rises in BOTH time directions away from a low-entropy initial state. The thermodynamic arrow of time lives in the boundary condition, not the dynamical laws (Boltzmann, demonstrated exactly). arrow in the state, not the laws — echo bit-exact, entropy rises both ways reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0053	A polymer's pull comes from counting states alone A polymer with zero energy in every configuration exerts a real tension matching T·dS/dx from pure state counting (Monte Carlo vs exact enumeration, max deviation 4.5×10⁻⁴). Verlinde's holographic-screen composition (Unruh temperature + N = Ac³/Għ bits + equipartition) returns Newton's F = GMm/r² to 2×10⁻¹⁶ — an algebraic identity given its assumptions, recorded as a consistency check, not evidence that nature's gravity is entropic. entropic force real (4.5e-4 match) · Newton composition = algebraic identity, not evidence reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0052	Entanglement obeys a first law of thermodynamics The first law of entanglement δS = δ⟨K_A⟩ holds in an interacting transverse-field Ising ground state: the ratio reaches 0.9945 at ε=10⁻³ and relative entropy is positive and quadratic (log-log slope 2.05). This is the identity from which linearized Einstein equations emerge in holographic derivations (Faulkner et al. 2013), verified exactly in a spin chain. δS/δ⟨K⟩ → 0.9945 at ε=1e-3 · rel. entropy positive, quadratic (slope 2.05) reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0051	Time emerges inside a frozen quantum universe A globally static quantum state contains ordinary time evolution for internal observers: the solver-found null state of a clock+qubit constraint is stationary to machine precision (⟨H²⟩ ≈ 6×10⁻³⁰, global qubit maximally mixed), yet conditioned on the clock the qubit Rabi-oscillates at full amplitude, matching Schrödinger evolution to 4×10⁻¹⁶ (Page–Wootters 1983, recomputed). Time as clock–system entanglement in a toy model — not a claim about nature's time. ⟨H²⟩ ≈ 6e-30 global · conditional evolution matches Schrödinger to 4e-16 reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26
USR-2026-0050	Empty space stores its entropy on the boundary The vacuum of a free lattice scalar field carries entanglement entropy that scales with a region's boundary, not its volume: fitted 3D exponent 2.09±0.01 (area predicts 2, volume 3), 2D 1.05 (perimeter), 1D flat to 9 digits. Bekenstein–Hawking-like area scaling emerges from a bare field theory with no gravity input (Srednicki 1993, independently recomputed). 3D exponent 2.09 (area = 2, volume = 3) — fit s.e. ±0.01, not an evidence σ reproduced ≠ discovered	Quantum information	PROVISIONAL	2026-07-26

Claims we killed, and what killed them

USR-2026-0044 2026-07-26

The growth index γ evolves from 0.41 (z < 0.3) to 0.10 (z > 1) — gravity weakens with redshift.

Died by its own kill test, on our own data, at our own hand. The 4.84σ evolution reproduces at 1.03σ with the sign reversed, no jackknife sample recovers it, and the claimed Δχ² is arithmetically unreachable given how well the no-evolution model already fits. The autopsy is the useful part: fσ₈ loses 93% of its sensitivity to γ by z ≈ 2, and γ is 91% correlated with σ₈ — so a high-z γ 'measurement' is mostly the amplitude degeneracy talking. Gravity does not weaken with redshift in this data; it looks like General Relativity (γ = 0.525 ± 0.077 vs 0.55). Post-mortem addendum: fixing a wrong fσ₈ point uncovered during the autopsy makes the evidence against this claim stronger, not weaker — γ_a moves from +0.63 to +1.19 while the claim requires about −0.68.

USR-2026-0007 2026-07-26

Sign-switching Λ (Λs-CDM) is NOT preferred by this data: ΔAIC = +1.50 versus ΛCDM with SH0ES included, with the vacuum flip at z = 3.11. The...

Published as weakly preferred at ΔAIC = −2.5; re-runs at +1.50, which is disfavoured. The whole reversal came from one transposed covariance block — the same Lyman-α pairing error that cost USR-2026-0001 a quarter of a sigma. Killed not because the idea is bad but because our own number was wrong, and the corrected number points the other way. The lesson is propagation: this claim sat unchanged for hours after the fix that invalidated it.

USR-2026-0047 2026-07-12

A Gaia wide-binary velocity analysis shows an apparent MOND-direction boost, but only under a clip-biased median estimator (residual 1.167). The...

Killed by its own estimator audit: the MOND boost lived only in the clip-biased median. Under the unbiased mean the wide binaries are Newtonian (0.948). The 28.7% clip rate in the a₀ regime was doing the work.

USR-2026-0023 2026-07-09

The Quaia quasar-dipole excess (raw D = 0.0208, 9.9σ over shot noise) is not cosmological: adversarial magnitude and galactic-latitude cuts...

The adversarial battery did its job: 9.9σ of raw excess collapsed to a kinematic D = 0.0066 under magnitude and latitude cuts. The dipole belonged to the catalog, not the cosmos.
