Measurement of Solar System Anomalies with the ∆Q Metric

This study applies the ∆Q metric, the central tool of Contextual Identity Physics, to local Solar System scales. By analyzing the Earth–Moon and Earth–Sun systems, we show that observed orbital recession rates systematically exceed the predictions of standard models (tidal friction, solar mass loss, planetary perturbations). The ∆Q metric quantifies these residual anomalies: Earth–Moon ∆Q ≈ 0.27±0.05, Earth–Sun ∆Q ≈ 0.31±0.10. Both are statistically significant and consistent with the anomalies previously measured at galactic scales. This suggests that the ∆Q anomaly is a scale-independent, universal feature
