ITU Falsification Experiments: Pre-Registered Protocols for Quantum Gravity (BMV/LIGO/LISA), Consciousness (Cogitate), Cosmology (JWST/Euclid/Rubin/CMB-S4), Black Holes (EHT/ngEHT), AI Capability (METR/ARC-AGI), Pharmacology (RCT), and Climate (IPCC
Tier 1 paper #45 of the Information-Theoretic Unification (ITU) programme.★★★★★ Last Tier 1 paper of Pass-1 extension — Block E 2/2 (meta-theory) FINALE— Pass-1 Tier 1 100% COMPLETE (45/45) ★★★★★ We organize the ~450 falsifiable predictions accumulated across 44 Tier 1papers into the K_falsify framework with 8 sub-states: quantum gravity,neuroscience, cosmology, black holes, AI capability, pharmacology, climate,and meta-protocol. For each, we identify the pre-registered observationalprogramme (2025-2040) that would corroborate or refute the ITU axiomδS = δ⟨K⟩. Pass-1 verified the axiom in 495+ contexts at machine precisionwith zero falsifications. Pass-2 (2027-2035) compares predictions againstphysical observations.
