ICC-R2: Implementation Protocol and Roadmap

Key Points

This work aims to present a structured implementation roadmap for the ICC-R2 framework with specific success metrics.
Developed an implementation protocol detailing four priority research directions with quantitative success criteria.
Established quarterly milestones from 2026 to 2028 and fallback hypotheses for each criterion.
Derived the defect parameter using reaction-diffusion simulations on a 163 lattice.
The defect parameter was found to be ∆∗ = 0.105±0.005, which satisfies the success criterion ∆∗ ∈ [0.08,0.12].
Calibration of the geometric factor for dark energy resulted in α = 3.00, leading to an H(z) suppression of 0.85 at z = 1.

Abstract

We present the implementation protocol and roadmap for ICC-R2, the revised version ofthe Information-Copying Cosmology framework. The document fixes four priority researchdirections with quantitative success criteria, quarterly milestones for 2026–2028, and fallbackhypotheses (Plan B) for each criterion. Results from the first milestone (Q2 2026) arereported: the defect parameter ∆∗ = 0.105±0.005 is derived from first principles via reactiondiffusion simulations on a 163 lattice, satisfying the success criterion ∆∗ ∈ 0.08,0.12. Thegeometric factor for dark energy is calibrated to α = 3.00, yielding H(z) suppression of 0.85at z =1.
