The Registry

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-2026-0073 One collapse-noise window is still open, and testable
The substrate-noise window is OPEN and experimentally live: GRW's collapse rate λ = 10⁻¹⁶ s⁻¹ at r_c = 10⁻⁷ m survives every published mass-proportional CSL bound — the tightest (Majorana Ge X-ray, coherent-nuclear channel) leaves ×49 headroom — while Adler's λ ≈ 10⁻⁸·⁵ is excluded by ×7 to ×6×10⁵ and GRW's original 1986 non-mass-proportional coupling is dead. 36–57% of the historically proposed GRW-to-Adler parameter box survives. MAQRO-class space interferometry reaches 1900× past GRW's point on a ~10–15 year horizon.
GRW alive by ×49 at the tightest bound; Adler dead; MAQRO closes the window in ~10–15 years

USR-2026-0034 No hidden pattern in delivered quantum random bits
No lazy-PRNG structure found in the delivered quantum bits examined: 32,768 post-processed ANU vacuum-fluctuation bits (bias 0.0003, compression 1.003, next-bit prediction 0.501) and 56,832 SHA-512-whitened NIST beacon bits (bias 0.0006, compression 1.002, prediction 0.506), with weak-LCG and LFSR-32 controls correctly caught.

USR-2026-0033 Macroscopic definiteness needs no observer
Macroscopic definiteness needs no observer: the standard GRW/CSL objective-collapse law (Λ = λN², λ = 1e-16 s⁻¹) makes a 1 µm dust grain definite in 2.8×10⁻⁸ s and a 6×10⁹ kg mass in 7.7×10⁻⁵⁸ s — far below any resolvable timescale, with no role for an observer.

USR-2026-0032 Which-path information erases the double-slit fringes
A time-dependent Schrödinger double-slit simulation reproduces two effects: fringe visibility falls from 0.883 to 0.000 as the which-path marker overlap goes to zero, and complementary-basis sub-ensembles recover anti-phased fringes that sum back to the flat pattern, with closure verified to 1×10⁻⁶.

USR-2026-0031 How much a stronger-than-quantum box would leak
Accessible information under single-box information causality is 0.798 bits at S = 2√2 and 2.000 bits at S = 4, and van Dam's one-bit protocol succeeds at every n with a PR box while decaying to 0.498 by n = 16 with quantum correlations. But the 1-bit budget is crossed at S = 3.12, NOT at 2√2 — the quantum ceiling does not coincide with this bound.

USR-2026-0030 A simulated Bell test lands on Tsirelson's bound
A from-scratch CHSH Monte Carlo reproduces Tsirelson's bound: simulated |S| = 2.829 matches the quantum analytic value 2√2 = 2.828, exceeds the local-realist bound 2.000, and sits below the PR-box ceiling 4.000. This is a textbook result recomputed — a check that the code obeys quantum mechanics, not a measurement of nature.

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.

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.

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.
