Project V.E.L.A. (Vacuum Entanglement and Lattice Analysis) provides a falsifiable experimental framework for testing the velocity of light and quantum entanglement synchronization in deep space environments by building upon the foundations of the Unified Fractal Theory (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18152385). This brief proposes that the currently accepted speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s) is a localized phase velocity dictated by the specific gravitational and magnetospheric torsion of the Earth, and derives a Universal Bridge Equation that maps local torsion to vacuum lattice contraction to predict a significant relaxation of the phase velocity limit (c₀ ≈ 328,280,635 m/s) as sensor platforms exit the Earth refractive volume. Key technical contributions include the definition of the Lattice Velocity Equation and geometric constant Φ (≈ 2,390,000 m/s) for calculating vacuum relaxation, the Hydrogen/Helium-3 Envelope Logic providing a technical counter-argument for why current Earth-Moon laser ranging has not yet detected velocity deltas, and specific quantitative mission predictions such as arrival time deltas of 0.1112 s for c¹ and 0.180 s for c⁴ alongside resonance signatures at 7.59 x 10¹⁴ Hz for Lunar and Lagrange point L1 baselines. Intended for mission planners and researchers involved in deep space quantum communication projects such as DSQL and SEAQUE, this document serves as a guide for the calibration of high-fidelity entanglement links beyond localized planetary interference.
