Prospective Predictions: Barrier Universality in Spin Ice and Structural Content of Newton's Constant from Information Geometry

Key Points

This research aims to explore barrier universality in spin ice and to examine the structural content of Newton's constant using information geometry.
Utilized pre-registered predictions from the Void Framework.
Tested barrier universality in specific spin ice materials: Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7.
Conducted a structural test of Newton's constant under registered protocols.
Barrier universality was confirmed for spin ice with 4/4 tests passing.
Structural test for Newton's constant passed with all 4 conditions met and noted remaining issues.
Total success of 7/7 kill conditions in the predictions.

Abstract

Pre-registered predictions from the Void Framework: (A) barrier universality extended to spin ice (Dy2Ti2O7, Ho2Ti2O7) — 4/4 PASS, new domain, mean barrier/d = 2. 272 (+2. 26% from pi/sqrt (2) ) ; (B) Newton's G structural test — G4 = alpha/ (2K²) passes 4/4 structural kill conditions with honest accounting of what remains open (hierarchy problem, physical interpretation) ; (C) registered protocol for future strong-coupling systems. Total: 7/7 kill conditions PASS.
