Study forecasts observational signatures in cosmology, suggesting implications for future studies.
Structural Cosmology v3.3 establishes the observational forecasting layer of the Structural Cosmology framework, connecting the Structural Field Δ(x,τ) to future cosmological observables through scale-dependent Projection Operators Πᵍˣ(k,z). Building upon the Effective Field Theory formulation (v2.x), Cross-Scale Consistency (v3.2), and the Structural Bandwidth Principle (v3.1), this work develops an illustrative forecasting framework spanning six major survey platforms: Euclid, Rubin Observatory/LSST, DESI, SKA, CMB-S4, and LISA. The framework introduces projection-based mappings from structural dynamics to observable quantities including galaxy clustering, weak lensing, 21cm intensity mapping, CMB anisotropies, and gravitational-wave observables. New contributions include the Gravitational-Geometric Perturbation Statistic (GGPS), a full multi-probe Fisher forecast framework, and an expanded falsifiability network containing 55 testable connections (C1–C55), including C33 (Gravitational Slip, η ≠ 1). One illustrative prediction explored within the framework is the Geometry-Growth Projection Test (GGPT), corresponding to a potential suppression of Δ(fσ₈) ≈ −5% to −7% around z ≈ 1.0–1.5 relative to ΛCDM. This prediction is presented as an illustrative forecast and has not been fitted to observational data. The release contains: Full v3.3 observational forecast paper (20 figures) Survey-specific forecast frameworks Multi-probe Fisher analysis Cross-scale consistency diagnostics (CSCI, EG, GGPT, GGPS) Halo mass function forecast framework Detection and feedback pipelines Updated falsifiability network C1–C55 Zenodo-ready reproducible Python demonstration code All forecasts are illustrative and intended as a conceptual framework for future observational testing rather than calibrated cosmological predictions.
