The coherence field P(t) encodes how the dimensional structure has evolved. Key findings: 1. At recombination (z ≈ 1090, t ≈ 380 kyr): P(t_rec) = {P_rec:.10f} The coherence field is essentially unity because interaction rates are enormous (~10⁴⁸ s⁻¹) at T ≈ 3000 K. 2. Peak position shift: Δℓ/ℓ = ε_rec/2 = {dct_params['peak_shift']:.2e} This is undetectable (Planck resolution Δℓ ~ 1). The peaks are NOT shifted — DCT preserves the acoustic structure. 3. The primary DCT signature is in the LATE-TIME effects: a) Modified ISW: The evolving P field at z < 2 generates an additional ISW contribution at low multipoles (ℓ < 100). ISW integral = {dct_params['delta_ISW']:.6f} b) Modified lensing: P⁻¹ enhancement of lensing potential slightly increases peak smoothing at high ℓ. 4. The DCT prediction is nearly degenerate with ΛCDM for the CMB, with differences emerging primarily in: - The low-ℓ anomalies (quadrupole/octupole alignment) - Cross-correlations with large-scale structure (ISW-galaxy) -
