A Falsification Sheet for the Finite-QEC Substrate Programme: Sharp Empirical Ways to Kill, Demote, or Constrain the Framework

Abstract

A deliberately adversarial map of the simplest empirical ways to kill, demote, or constrain the framework. Near-term kill switches: a confirmed primordial tensor signal at r ≳ 10⁻³; a dark-energy reconstruction excluding w(a) = −1 + a/28; a scalar tilt excluding n_s = 27/28; a secular drift in G or α; a neutron EDM far above 10⁻³¹ e·cm with no extra CP source; or dark matter shown to be a freely streaming particle gas. Several tests are branch-level (the 17.7 keV sterile neutrino, the R4/MOND line law, the K04 debris walls) and would retire a branch without collapsing the matter sector.
