Scale-Indexed Drift Geometry in Loophole-Free Bell Experiments: Preregistered NIST Calibration

Abstract

This version reports a preregistered cross-platform calibration of a proposed Bell-functional drift signature on six official NIST loophole-free photonic runs. Under the frozen primary analysis, one run-level slope was positive and five were negative; the median slope was -2.5571 × 10^-6 and the exact one-sided positive-direction Wilcoxon p-value was 0.96875. The preregistered result is therefore fail. The result rejects the narrow prediction that the proposed positive A-coordinate drift transports across platforms under the specified mapping. It does not test the original Bell violation, refute quantum mechanics, establish a universal negative drift, or support a gravity, extra-dimensional, signaling, consciousness-based, or cosmological mechanism. The archive provides the English report, frozen preregistration chain, analysis code and tests, derived block tables, run-level and aggregate results, figures, provenance records, and release checksums. Raw NIST HDF5 objects are not redistributed; official source locations and local integrity identifiers are documented.
