#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ DCT Astrophysical Observation Tests ==================================== Dimensional Coherence Theory (DCT) by Nolan G. Parrott Tests DCT predictions against 16 published astrophysical datasets. Core DCT equations (popularisation form used inside this script): Parrott Metric: ds^2_RDC = P(N) * g_uv dx^u dx^v Coherence Function: P(N) = 1 - exp(-N/N0) Galaxy dynamics: g_obs = g_bar / P(N) (reproduces RAR/MOND) MOND critical acceleration: g_dagger ~ 1.2e-10 m/s^2 AUDIT NOTE 2026-05-05 — popularisation P(N) form is non-canonical. The P(N) = 1 - exp(-N/N0) parametrisation used inside this script is the popularisation form (see DCT_10 / DCT_15) and is explicitly NOT in the canonical corpus per CANONICAL_FACTS section 1. The corpus-canonical acceleration-dependent profile is the Avrami P(g) = 1 - exp(-sqrt(g/g_dagger)) from DCT-DM-01; for non-acceleration rows the corpus-canonical position is constant-P_0 = 0.851. Two of the rows below (Test 6 WD-Chandrasekhar and Test 14 mass-metallicity) are SM tautologies and inherit the SM value unchanged; they should be read as NEUTRAL rather than DCT-specific PASSes.
