Conscious Geometry Theory - Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio Tension: Honest Assessment of r = αY = 0.051

Transparent assessment of the tension between CGT's prediction of the tensor-to-scalar ratio r = αY = 7/137.036 = 0.051 and current observational upper limits of r < 0.032-0.036 (BICEP/Keck + Planck). Documents: when the prediction was made (January 2026, when r < 0.06), how the data has since tightened, the author's pre-registered falsification threshold (r < 0.01, not yet violated), and the timeline for definitive resolution (CMB-S4 ~2028, LiteBIRD ~2032). This note exists because scientific integrity requires leading with weaknesses, not hiding them. The remaining 148 predictions are unaffected by this tension.

Abstract

Transparent assessment of the tension between CGT's prediction of the tensor-to-scalar ratio r = αY = 7/137.036 = 0.051 and current observational upper limits of r < 0.032-0.036 (BICEP/Keck + Planck). Documents: when the prediction was made (January 2026, when r < 0.06), how the data has since tightened, the author's pre-registered falsification threshold (r < 0.01, not yet violated), and the timeline for definitive resolution (CMB-S4 ~2028, LiteBIRD ~2032). This note exists because scientific integrity requires leading with weaknesses, not hiding them. The remaining 148 predictions are unaffected by this tension.
