A Pre-Registered Identification Study of the Channel-Number Coordinate (n_chan) in Gravitational Manipulation Theory v2.9 (Rev.P)

Abstract

This record contains the full preprint, figures, tables, and reproducibility package for GMT v2.9 Rev.P, a pre-registered identification study examining whether the channel-number index n_chan constitutes a recoverable operator-complexity coordinate or instead acts as a proxy absorbed by other frozen descriptors. The study was conducted entirely using synthetic representative apparatus configurations. It contains no experimental measurements, no physical apparatus data, and no hardware claims. Under the pre-registered decision rule, both qualifiers were false: Q_T = False for topology recovery and Q_N = False for channel-number recovery. The resulting adjudication was Outcome D, sublabel D-irred, representing an irreducible null identification within the frozen study design. The official one-shot execution used K = 1000, with no mock or reduced mode, and produced scientific_result = true. The terminal SHA-256 chain head is: 1fd0c523749786fe206d9f08c029be19fb807983e059a93fe3c9407367baa9e1 Reproducibility and temporal provenance are supported by two externally hosted, timestamped, versioned SHA-256 hash-anchor records. These records are not digital signatures. Internal consistency alone does not establish external authenticity.

No conclusion establishes extrapolation beyond the observed range n_chan ∈ {1,2}. The study concerns synthetic representative apparatus configurations only and reports no experimental measurement.
