A QRFT--APM Framework for Gravitational-Wave Coherence Analysis: A QMU Translation and Coherence-Channel Study of LIGO Strain Data

This work presents a deterministic framework linking gravitational-wave strain data to Aether Physics Model (APM) quantities using Quantum Measurement Units (QMU). The approach integrates a QRFT-based signal analysis pipeline with a ledger-consistent mapping from detector strain to magnetic-charge flux amplitude and closure-coherence observables. Gravitational-wave strain $h(t)$ is interpreted as a fractional deformation of Aether-unit geometry. The central result establishes a direct mapping from strain rate to magnetic-charge flux amplitude:\[mflx_h={m_e {λ_C}^2}{{e_emax}^2}dh/dt.\] This defines a deterministic transformation chain:\[h(t)\;→\;dh/dt\;→\;χ_h\;→\;mflx_h,\]where χₕ represents normalized closure excitation. The QRFT analysis pipeline is reformulated using fixed structural parameters derived from Aether closure geometry:\[pcl = 2,δ = 8π/3,τQRFT = 10⁻²⁵\ s.\] Chronovibrational delay is defined as\[Δ tchrono,h={1}{{F_q}^2}dh/dt,\]providing a closure-response proxy derived from strain-rate dynamics. Worked examples using GW190521 and GW170817 demonstrate the strain-to-QMU mapping and the behavior of cross-detector coherence observables under a fixed-parameter pipeline. Subsequent off-source comparisons show that mean phase coherence and resonance-density measures alone are weak discriminators in interferometric strain data. Accordingly, this work is presented as a translation and methodology framework rather than a completed observational validation. It establishes a reproducible bridge between gravitational-wave observations and Aether closure variables while identifying transverse-rotational observables, such as inter-detector phase acceleration, as promising candidates for future investigation. All source code and analysis scripts are included to ensure reproducibility of the QRFT--APM pipeline and its application to publicly available gravitational-wave datasets.
