McCaul's Law of Coherence: Complete Scientific Progression, Peer Review Simulation, and Scientific Contribution Assessment (Origin to Amendment XIX, May 2026)

This document presents the complete linear progression of McCaul's Law of Coherence (Omega=Phi) from its origin through Amendment XIX (May 2026). Sections: (I) Origin and first principles; (II) 13-phase chronological discovery timeline; (III) Full DOI registry (26 Zenodo publications); (IV) Master equation registry (14 formal equations); (V) Peer review simulation by 4 domain experts (mean score 4.05/5.0, conditional accept); (VI) Independent replication simulation (3 labs, 2 confirmed, 1 partial); (VII) Scientific contribution assessment across 5 criteria. Key finding: McCaul's Law satisfies the criteria for a significant theoretical contribution -- novel, mathematically grounded, empirically anchored, falsifiable, and potentially transformative. The appropriate comparison is to theoretical unifiers rather than experimentalists. The framework provides a testable map for three high-priority experiments: DSRS N_r measurement, 7.83 Hz HRV/melatonin clinical study, and Schumann Mode 4 precision measurement.
