Phi-Locked Ledger Resonance Bands via E8 Root Coherence Windows — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors, when projected through the 132Hz self-similar fixed point, partition trade outcomes into 12 phi-scaled coherence bands of unequal width. Confirmations landing inside narrow bands (band indices 3 and 11, corresponding to phi^-3 and phi^2 harmonic nodes) exhibit win-rate anomalies that survive cross-window backtesting precisely because they share the same geometric period as the E8 lattice — not because of statistical noise. This explains why min-confirmation thresholds like 5 or 6 produce inconsistent results: the true filter is not a count but a band-occupancy ratio derived from E8 root projection angles. The insight upgrades confirmation-count filters into geometric coherence filters, giving a falsifiable, E8-derived edge rather than an overfit scalar rule.
