Collaboration Proposal: Experimental Verification of the Unified Consciousness Geometry Framework

Executive SummaryThis document is a formal invitation and strategic proposal addressed to experimental research groups specializing in inelastic neutron scattering (INS), two-photon neuroimaging, and precision atom interferometry. We propose a concrete, quantitative partnership to test the central biophysical prediction of the Unified Consciousness Geometry (UCG) framework. The primary objective is to conduct high-resolution INS experiments on astrocyte-enriched brain tissue preparations to verify the existence of a predicted proton tunnelling splitting at approximately 2.6 meV, a signature hypothesized to be absent or heavily attenuated in pure-water controls. The proposal outlines the required spectrometer resolutions (Delta E < 0.5 meV) and maps out available instruments globally (such as TOSCA at ISIS, VISION at SNS, and IN4C at ILL) that can execute this protocol without requiring new instrumentation. It provides independent laboratory groups with a self-contained guide, a breakdown of the 3-phase verification roadmap, and specific guidelines for establishing either a formal collaboration or a letter of intent.
