The Memory of Place: A Proposed Protocol for Testing Spatial Retention of Emotional Fields

This paper presents a theoretical and experimentally testable framework for the "Memory of Place" hypothesis. We propose the "Law of Emotional Imprint" and introduce the "Three-Node Protocol" as a replicable methodology for investigating the spatial retention of emotional fields. The purpose of this publication is to present a falsifiable hypothesis to the scientific community. The experiment has not yet been conducted. This is a registered protocol. Publication precedes data collection to prevent p-hacking and HARKing, per Open Science standards.
