Theoretical Framework and Computational Verification of Engineered Spacetime Curvature Perturbation via Casimir-Driven Warp Ring

This paper presents the first theoretical framework and computational verification of an engineered spacetime curvature perturbation using Casimir-driven metamaterial arrays arranged in a toroidal Warp Ring geometry. We derive a Master Equation (Eq. 2.10) from first principles connecting Casimir vacuum energy density to linearized metric perturbations, and computationally verify a detectable metric perturbation of 5.83e-31 (583,000x above interferometric detection threshold) using the EMT Warp Ring Simulator v3.1. The paper includes complete apparatus specifications (Warp Ring Mk-II), quantitative results for the optimal Combo D configuration, energy analysis revealing a fundamental 10^45 deficit for propulsion, and a dual-axis R&D roadmap separating achievable detection from aspirational propulsion goals. Both English and Italian versions are included.
