The Foxworth-Pulse Predictor is a deterministic, field-executable protocol derived directly from the middle-derivative formalism of Altered Middle Calculus (AMC). It detects informational coherence thresholds and phase-transition pulses in dissipative systems by tracking a fixed-lattice m-Derivative weighted by an AgencyVector, gated by structural coherence (Cₒ), and scored via a Probability Index. This paper presents the locked v2. 2 protocol and demonstrates its systematic portability through 3-run backtests in seven distinct physical media: tropical cyclones, black-hole accretion flares, solar flares, magnetar giant flares, neutron-star Type I X-ray bursts, lab plasma instabilities, and EEG pre-ictal neuronal bursts. Across all domains the protocol consistently identifies pulse onset, predicts peak timing and amplitude, and flags coherence and redistribution signatures with high skill and low false-positive rates. These results establish the Foxworth-Pulse framework as a general-purpose diagnostic for self-organized critical events in bounded dissipative systems, providing empirical validation for key elements of AMC and Unified Coherence Theory (UCT)
