Entropy Attunement Protocol: QOdata72 Validation and Honest Dimensionality Assessment
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Technical report, originally published April 2026 (v2.1); this is v1.1 of that report, corrected October 2026. We report validation results from applying the Entropy Attunement Protocol (EAP) framework to the complete QOdata72 dataset — 72 question order studies comprising 53,078 participants — provided directly by Prof. Jerome Busemeyer from the Wang & Busemeyer (2014) PNAS article. The quantum model's core prediction (QQ equality) is not rejected across the 72 studies (p = 0.80, bootstrap 95% CI contains zero). We also report an honest finding: when the four-dimensional Ψ composite is applied to static question order data, the effective dimensionality reduces to three independent information sources — base rate probability, joint distribution shape, and interference phase — because Ψ1 and Ψ2 both derive deterministically from the marginal probability. Ψ3 alone is genuinely independent (R² = 0.03 from all other quantities combined). We document the Ψ4 redefinition from |sin(θ)·cos(φ)| to |φ|/(π/2). No raw QOdata72 data is redistributed; only derived aggregate statistics are reported. v1.1 corrections: removed an unsupported reference to unposted RNN/architecture-comparison results; the cited "Yau 2026b" manuscript is marked unpublished; QQ-equality wording changed from "confirmed" to "not rejected / equivalence supported".
