Between the Baselines: Coherence-Field Residuals Across Collider, Clock, Pulsar, and Cosmic-Dawn Data

This paper presents a residual-audit protocol for General Coherence Field Theory (GCFT). Its central claim is not that GCFT has been proven, but that speculative physics should be judged through dated, public, falsifiable forecast discipline: named sectors, frozen numerical windows, explicit ordinary null models, no post-data knobs, and promotion/demotion rules. The paper argues that modern physics rarely provides “pure raw data. ” Collider measurements, clock comparisons, pulsar timing, gravitational-wave searches, JWST source interpretation, and cosmological surveys all pass through calibration, reconstruction, baseline modeling, and systematic subtraction. GCFT is therefore tested not before these baselines, but between them: in residuals that survive after standard models have taken their first pass. The included audit framework spans mixed-heavy \ (Bc\) spectroscopy, ACES/ISS clock residuals, PSR J0740+6620 timing, JWST cosmic-dawn compact-object residuals, cosmology, lensing, Standard Model gates, and compact-event residual searches. The \ (Bc\) contact is treated as a WATCH row, not as theory confirmation; all other sectors remain PENDING, WATCH, UNDERDERIVED, or FOUNDATION according to explicit rules. This document is intended as a public methods protocol and forecast-ledger integration layer: old physics first, then residuals, then frozen forecast comparison, then promotion or demotion.
