TMF Experimental Programme: Three Independent Tests of f(t) Universality Without β or ρ_sun (Q40, NK-2, Casimir)

This document presents three experimental protocols for testing the Temporal Measure Framework (TMF), each structurally independent of the absolute parameters β and ρ_sun (withdrawn in TMF Self-Correction v6.2). Each protocol tests a relative claim — universality across processes, isotopes, or geometries — and each has its own independent falsification criterion. The failure of one protocol does not imply the failure of the others. Protocol I (Q40): Atomic Clock Archive Test. P24 (Process Universality of f(t), TMF v9 Step 11) predicts that annual modulation in atomic clock frequency data should correlate with annual modulation in radioactive decay data at the same institution. Q40 is formulated as a correlation test, not an amplitude test: the absolute amplitude 0.001012 from TMF v5 is withdrawn as circular calibration. The test requires no new experiment — PTB (Braunschweig) holds both Ra-226 decay rate archives and atomic clock frequency archives from the same location. Protocol II (NK-2): Isotope Universality Test. Tests whether the ρ_sun effect, if real, is identical across weak-interaction isotopes Mn-54, Na-22, Cl-36, with Am-241 as null control, three geographically separated laboratories, and GOES X-class flare triggering. One X-class flare is sufficient for 3σ detection. Minimum cost: ~€226,000, 2–3 years. Protocol III (Q45/Q46): Casimir Geometry Tests. Tests whether toroidal geometry modulates σ_vac through the Casimir effect (Q45, 1/d³ scaling) and whether this appears in enzyme turnover numbers (Q46, 1/R_bio³ scaling). A laboratory invitation is included for institutions already measuring radioactive decay. References: TMF Self-Correction v6.2, TMF v9 Step 11, Pommé et al.
