To evaluate the operational validity, robustness, and event-discrimination capacity of the Chronos change-clock framework across atomic, civil, planetary, and pulsar timing systems.
Evaluated 1,952 shared daily events across atomic, rotational, and orbital data split into chronological calibration, validation, and untouched test periods.
Tested pairwise clock transformations, three-clock closures, and nanosecond reference-clock responses using frequentist and Bayesian pulsar reconstructions.
Applied a state-plus-change coordinate system to discriminate historical leap-second periods and prospective IERS decisions.
Recovered predetermined reference-clock transformations on held-out pulsar epochs with subnanosecond closure error.
Distinguished leap-second periods from no-event periods with a held-out ROC AUC of 0.9881 (exact permutation p=0.000445).
Correctly classified three subsequent prospective IERS no-leap decisions using the unchanged coordinate framework.
