Layer Framework: Cross-Layer Coupling Evidence from Atomic Clocks and GRACE Gravity Residuals.pdf
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper reports empirical results from two independent datasets that validate a core prediction of the "Six Observations" framework regarding "stability-complexity unity." Based on BIPM atomic clock data and JPL GRACE satellite gravity data, we find: 1. Atomic clock analysis: Three types of atomic clocks (cesium, hydrogen, strontium) exhibit statistically significant differences in frequency deviations (p = 0.000000), which cannot be fully explained by existing theories (gravitational redshift, relativistic effects). 2. GRACE analysis: Global gravity residuals show significant latitudinal dependence (r = -0.317) and a long-term decreasing trend (-0.144 cm/year, p = 0.000000). These two independent datasets together support that different atomic nuclei have different sensitivities to cross-layer coupling, and cross-layer coupling leaves observable traces at macroscopic scales.
