A Testable Planck-Suppressed Environmental Correction to Quantum Phase Evolution: Version 1.6, Final Consolidated Framework

This record archives Version 1.6 of the TCVR-Q manuscript: A Testable Planck-Suppressed Environmental Correction to Quantum Phase Evolution. TCVR-Q is presented as a conservative, testable, and falsifiable effective framework in which standard quantum mechanics is recovered exactly in the zero-coupling limit, while a small Planck-suppressed residual-response term is added to quantum phase evolution. The framework introduces a dimensionless coupling, lambda_Q = eta_Q (l_P / L_env)^n, where l_P is the Planck length, L_env is an operational environmental length scale, n is the effective suppression order, and eta_Q is interpreted as a Wilson-like dimensionless matching coefficient rather than as a fitted fundamental constant. Version 1.6 consolidates the previous development by including: - the core TCVR-Q Hamiltonian correction, - the unified residual-response variable X_TCVR, - a reference atom-interferometry test based on Rb-87, - linear and saturating laboratory proxies for S_Q, - null-test bounds on eta_Q, - a gradient-reversal odd-channel protocol, - ABBA reversal timing for drift suppression, - a realistic phase-noise and systematic-floor model, - a proposed interpretation of eta_Q as an effective Wilson-like coefficient, - an operational definition of L_env from pre-declared environmental channels, - and a final scientific audit checklist. The manuscript does not claim a detection of new physics, does not replace standard quantum mechanics, and does not invoke observer-induced wavefunction collapse. Its purpose is to define a controlled phenomenological parameterization whose coupling can be bounded by precision interferometric measurements. A nonzero signal would only become physically meaningful if it survives reversal tests, scaling tests, independent reproducibility, and systematic-error rejection. This version is intended as a final consolidated framework for review, discussion, and possible future experimental constraint.
