UAT-VASCO Final Audit Report: Geomagnetic Dipole Coupling Confirmation, H1 Desynchronisation Resolution, and Falsifiable Predictions of the Universal Applied Time Framework

Key Points

This investigation aims to resolve the desynchronization of the LIGO H1 detector with the UAT metric.
Analyzed public LIGO O4a/O4b data.
Conducted a multi-day SVR sweep comparing H1 to L1.
Examined seasonal variations using water as a viscous contrast medium.
The correlation of SVR with global geomagnetic storms shows r = -0.25.
Significant modulation of SVR by detector-geomagnetic dipole alignment with r = +0.38, p < 0.05.
H1's performance is geometrically disadvantaged due to its projection angle relative to the Earth's magnetic pole.

Abstract

This deposit contains the final technical audit report (Audit #4) thatconcludes the investigation into the persistent desynchronisation of theLIGO Hanford detector (H1) with respect to the UAT metric. Four independent analyses were performed on public LIGO O4a/O4b data andthe UAT-VASCO catalogue: 1. Multi-day SVR sweep (H1 vs L1 over consecutive days). 2. Wet-vs-dry seasonal comparison (testing water as a viscous contrast medium). 3. Geomagnetic activity correlation (planetary Kp index, 5848 real records). 4. Magnetic projection scanner (angle between each detector and the Earth's north magnetic pole, IGRF-13 model). Key findings: - The SVR is independent of global geomagnetic storms (Kp, r = -0. 25). - The SVR is significantly modulated by the geometric alignment between the detector and the geomagnetic dipole axis (r = +0. 38, p < 0. 05). - H1 is not malfunctioning; it is geometrically disadvantaged by its unfavourable angular projection with respect to the magnetic pole. - Environmental factors (water, humidity) amplify the signal but are not the primary driver. - Four falsifiable predictions are formulated for future validation.
