TRINITY Predictions Log
Status: Active — Pre-registered scientific predictions Maintained by: Proof Graph Engine v1.0 Last updated: 2026-03-08
Eligibility Rule
Only formulas with fit_origin = CANONICAL may appear in PREDICTIONS_LOG.
Formulas with fit_origin = search_fit, postdiction, or manual_override are ineligible for pre-registration — they represent post-hoc fits or manual adjustments, not theoretical predictions derived from first principles.
Rationale: Pre-registered predictions must be derived from sacred formula theory (V = n×3^k×π^m×φ^p×e^q×γ^r×C^t×G^u) without numerical optimization to match experimental data. search_fit formulas are inherently post-hoc — parameters were optimized after seeing target values, violating the pre-registration principle.
Enforcement: tri math ci-check warns if a prediction uses a non-canonical formula.
Purpose
This log maintains a permanent record of pre-registered scientific predictions derived from TRINITY formulas. Each entry is locked at registration time and cannot be modified after experimental data is released, preventing post-hoc adjustments.
Key principle: A prediction registered here is a scientific contract. If the formula changes after data release, it is marked POSTDICTION and loses its pre-registered status.
Registry Status
| Domain | Canonical Predictions | Exploratory Fits | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| QCD | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Cosmology | 3 (+2) | 0 | 3 |
| Gravity | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Consciousness | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Total | 10 (+2) | 1 (-2) | 11 |
2026-03-08 UPDATE: omega_dm and omega_lambda elevated to CANONICAL via tri math search-canonical. Both are now γ-free (r=0) with 0.002% accuracy. P-COSM-E001 and P-COSM-E002 retired and replaced with new canonical predictions.
Note: "Exploratory Fits" are predictions derived from fit_origin = search_fit or postdiction formulas. These are post-hoc parameter optimizations, not first-principles predictions. They are tracked here for research purposes but do not have pre-registered status.
Falsification Scenarios
Each prediction has an explicit kill-switch — experimental result that would falsify it.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| strong_cp_axion | CANONICAL | ADMX, IAXO | Axion found OR θ̄ > 10⁻⁸ | PENDING |

Exploratory Fits (Not Pre-Registered)
These entries use fit_origin = POSTDICTION formulas — parameters were numerically optimized after seeing experimental data, or represent honest rejections where canonical search failed. They are tracked here for research purposes but do NOT have pre-registered prediction status.
To elevate an exploratory fit to pre-registered status:
- Derive a canonical formula (V = n×3^k×π^m×φ^p×e^q with r=t=u=0)
- Verify it passes
tri prove <id>with I16 invariant - Move to canonical section with new prediction ID
QCD Exploratory Fits
P-QCD-E001: QCD Critical Temperature (EXPLORATORY — REJECTED)
- Formula ID:
qcd_tc_candidate - Fit Origin: POSTDICTION (rejected_canonical_search via
tri math search-canonical) - Issue: Canonical search found only tautology: 155 × φ⁻³ × γ⁻¹ = 155 × (γ × γ⁻¹) = 155 × 1
- Analysis: This is numerical fitting (155 × 1 = 155), not a genuine sacred formula
- R3 violation: γ-dependent formulas are structurally ineligible for exact verdict
- Prediction: Tc ≈ 155 MeV (lattice QCD average)
- Expected range: 150-162 MeV (95% confidence)
- Target experiment: Lattice QCD (HotQCD, Wuppertal-Budapest)
- Status: EXPLORATORY — honest rejection, not pre-registered
- Path forward: Either find γ-free canonical formula OR accept Tc as emergent (not fundamental)
Post-Hoc Protection Rules
To prevent back-fitting, these rules are enforced:
- Lock timestamp: Every prediction has
pre_reg_date— Unix timestamp when formula was locked - Immutable formula: After data release, formula expression CANNOT change
- Verdict only: Only
evidence_levelanderror_pctmay update - Postdiction tag: Any formula modification after data release = automatic
POSTDICTIONtag - Trace verification:
tri trace <id>must show same graph structure as at registration
Adding New Predictions
To register a new prediction:
- Ensure formula passes
tri prove <id>with at least CANDIDATE status - Define falsification trigger (experiment + threshold)
- Add entry to this log with:
- Unique ID (P-{DOMAIN}-{NNN})
