Pre-Registered Eclipse Change-Point Test Under the Total Wave Modified Schrödinger Equation (TWMSE)

This document presents a pre-registered, falsifiable empirical protocol to test whether large-scale Sun–Moon–Earth alignment during a solar eclipse is associated with statistically significant change-points (“kinks”) in selected geophysical time series, including GNSS Total Electron Content (TEC), GNSS scintillation indices (S4 and/or σϕ where available), and ground magnetometer components. Unlike the 1919 Eddington eclipse experiment, which operationalized General Relativity through spatial angular deflection of starlight, the present work defines a distinct measurement axis: time-domain perturbation detection under predefined statistical thresholds and explicit geographic and temporal controls. All observables, smoothing procedures, time windows (baseline, event, recovery), detection criteria, multiple-comparisons safeguards, control comparisons, and a binding falsification clause are fixed prior to analysis to prevent post-hoc reinterpretation. The protocol includes an addendum that locks the primary analysis pipeline, specifies empirical null construction using temporal controls, and explicitly acknowledges conventional ionospheric eclipse mechanisms as a baseline comparison. This study extends the eclipse-testing framework introduced in Eddington 2027: From Curved Space to Collapsed Waves – A Global Eclipse Campaign to Test the Total Wave Modified Schrödinger Equation (TWMSE) (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17068717) by removing fixed positional assumptions and shifting emphasis from spatial deflection imagery to statistically bounded time-series perturbation detection. The outcome will be reported transparently whether supportive or not.
