CCEGA Paper 25 v1.1: Erratum and Clarification — Power-Law Coupling as Theoretical Exploration vs. Exponential Framework

Key Points

The paper corrects the definitions and values in prior research to refine astrophysical predictions.
Correction of the critical density ρ_c and its impact on M_max values.
Comparison of values from previous papers and affirmation of qualitative conclusions.
Assessment of tidal deformability in neutron stars.
ρ_c updated from 7.0 ρ_nuc to 7.4 ρ_nuc, impacting M_max from 2.357 to ~2.33 Msun.
No changes to Lambda(1.4 Msun) = Lambda_GR; decoupling prediction remains the same.
All qualitative conclusions of prior papers confirmed.

Abstract

Updates Paper 16 following the correction of ρc in Paper 18 v2. 0. The correct definition ρc = 4B/ (ℏc) ³ = 7. 4 ρₙuc replaces the v1. 0 value 7. 0 ρₙuc. Impact: Mₘax shifts from 2. 357 to ~2. 33 Msun (J0952-0607 remains consistent at 0. 14 sigma) ; Lambda (1. 4 Msun) = LambdaGR is unchanged; the Lambda–Mmax decoupling prediction is unchanged. All qualitative conclusions of Paper 16 are confirmed. The unique falsifiable signature of CCEGA — tidal deformability consistent with GR for ordinary NS while Mₘax exceeds the GR limit — remains intact and testable by LIGO O5 and NICER.
