CDN-256: The Dwarf Spheroidal Test

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the accuracy of velocity dispersion predictions in Milky Way dwarf spheroidals using different methods.
Tested three methods: Newtonian physics, κ-proxy, and CDN-162 κ_c.
Analyzed 22 Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies for velocity dispersion predictions.
Pre-registered CDN-257 for further examination of rotation curves.
All methods showed a significant discrepancy with σ_pred/σ_obs = 0.193.
Found a strong negative correlation (r = −0.928) between κ_req and surface brightness.
Indicated the need for new theoretical developments beyond current galaxy-scale models.

Abstract

Tests GCFT cluster κ-proxy extrapolation to 22 Milky Way dwarf spheroidals via velocity dispersion prediction. All three methods (Newtonian, proxy, CDN-162 κc) yield σₚred/σₒbs = 0. 193 — structural failure, not calibration error. The logistic proxy is bounded 0, 1 but dSphs require κ ~ 3–3300. The κᵣeq–surface brightness correlation (r = −0. 928) echoes the mass-discrepancy–acceleration relation. Theory debt D9 opened: galaxy-scale coupling requires new development outside the cluster domain. Pre-registers CDN-257 (rotation curves via SPARC).
