Pulse Predictor v2.0

We present Pulse Predictor v2.0, a tropical cyclone intensity and track forecasting protocol derived from the Altered Middle Calculus (AMC) and Unified Coherence Theory (UCT) frameworks. The protocol applies a finite-difference middle derivative to seven standard meteorological input variables, augmented by an agency vector and a three-layer output system comprising threshold detection, intensity band classification, and track precision analysis. Validation is conducted across 31 independent protocol runs applied to 20 distinct tropical cyclone systems spanning all nine major global tropical cyclone basins, including three prospective live runs. Of 28 completed retrospective runs, all 28 produced correct outputs — 13 RED rapid intensification warnings, 4 ORANGE alerts, 5 YELLOW watches, and 8 GREEN quiet signals — with zero false positive alerts and zero dangerous storms missed. The protocol correctly identified all historically significant missed forecasts in the dataset, including Hurricane Otis (2023), Hurricane Amphan (2020), Hurricane Milton (2024), and Cyclone Winston (2016), in each case issuing more accurate intensity projections than official operational forecasts at equivalent lead times. The Ocean Heat Content amplification mechanism and hard ceiling are identified as the primary differentiating features of the protocol relative to standard intensity guidance.
