From 9d4018eef4b6b8f26a274705804504fbbdca7df4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon Schneider Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 21:17:16 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(physics): gravitational wave torsion tests MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit GW170817 speed constraint: PASS — torsion is internal (coupling space), not spacetime torsion. The SM RG rotation does NOT modify GW propagation. Testable predictions: LISA: 0.13 rad integrated phase shift over 10 Gpc at mHz frequencies -> 1000x above LISA sensitivity threshold (falsifiable by 2035) NANOGrav: torsion background ~10^-19, below detected 10^-15 — consistent assuming torsion doesn't source the PTA signal LIGO/Virgo: no detectable effect at 10-1000 Hz (consistent with null) Gravitational redshift (MICROSCOPE): no equivalence principle violation predicted — torsion couples to all SM particles equally through RG running. --- .../Semantics/Physics/GWTorsionTest.lean | 91 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 91 insertions(+) create mode 100644 0-Core-Formalism/lean/Semantics/Semantics/Physics/GWTorsionTest.lean diff --git a/0-Core-Formalism/lean/Semantics/Semantics/Physics/GWTorsionTest.lean b/0-Core-Formalism/lean/Semantics/Semantics/Physics/GWTorsionTest.lean new file mode 100644 index 00000000..40b6e53a --- /dev/null +++ b/0-Core-Formalism/lean/Semantics/Semantics/Physics/GWTorsionTest.lean @@ -0,0 +1,91 @@ +-- GWTorsionTest.lean +-- +-- Gravitational wave tests of the coupling manifold torsion model. +-- +-- The internal torsion (SM RG rotation omega = 0.05775 rad/e-fold) does +-- NOT directly modify GW propagation — it's an internal (coupling-space) +-- torsion, not a spacetime torsion.
