QVCSR Three-Regime Galaxy Observational Classification and Technical Guide (v1.0)

This document provides an introductory classification guide and technical overview for applying the Quantum Vacuum Composite Stiffness Response (QVCSR) to observational galaxy data. It outlines how to estimate the baryonic acceleration (g_bar), the external-field acceleration (g_ext), and the total effective acceleration (g_tot). It also presents a practical decision tree for identifying which of the three QVCSR regimes a galaxy occupies: Suppression: g_tot >> a_QV Shallow activation: g_tot ≈ a_QV Full activation: g_tot << a_QV This Version 1.0 release is a placeholder intended solely to reserve the DOI and allow immediate referencing in publications. A fully expanded Version 2.0 guide — including flowcharts, worked examples, falsification tests, and a technical appendix — will follow. This Zenodo resource serves as the official companion to the QVCSR observational framework presented in Simpson (2025), providing researchers with a clear, reproducible, and falsifiable method for testing the vacuum-stiffness interpretation of low-acceleration galaxy dynamics.
