AEON Drive: Systems Architecture for Candidate Field Coupling, Geodesic-Riding Dynamics, and Experimental Tests

Abstract

The AEON Drive is an exploratory and falsifiable research framework asking whether a controlled, coherent electromagnetic field architecture could produce any reproducible interaction beyond ordinary electromagnetic momentum transfer and the extremely small spacetime curvature predicted by standard general relativity. It does not assume that such an effect exists. Instead, it turns the question into a system that can be calculated, simulated, criticized, tested, constrained, or rejected. The proposed architecture uses one central reference oscillator and eight phase-controlled helical oscillators arranged in a ring. The system is designed to generate measurable electromagnetic modes, selectable azimuthal field patterns, reversible helicity states, commanded null states, and repeatable experimental configurations. The paper integrates this hardware architecture with a phenomenological spectral-anchoring model, candidate geodesic-riding equations, modal-control laws, explicit momentum accounting, and preregistered falsification criteria. No anomalous force, useful metric perturbation, geodesic lock, or propulsion effect has been demonstrated. Standard general relativity predicts that the curvature generated by laboratory-scale electromagnetic energy is real but far too small for propulsion. Any additional AEON response would therefore require an unverified coupling or enhancement that must be measured or bounded experimentally. A clean null result would remain scientifically useful because it would place quantitative limits on the proposed interaction. I have taken the concept as far as I presently can as an independent systems-level investigation and now invite physicists, engineers, mathematicians, and experimentalists to examine it critically. What is the first equation, assumption, coupling, or proposed test that fails? If the framework is wrong, identifying the precise point of failure is part of its scientific value. If any portion survives rigorous analysis, it may provide a clearer foundation for further theoretical and experimental work.
