Testing the EPO Framework Against Observational Data
Quantitative analysis of EPO predictions versus current observations
Analysis of 2,693 data points across 153 galaxies shows a tight correlation between observed and baryonic acceleration, challenging traditional dark matter models.
Where $g_0 = 1.2 \times 10^{-10}$ m/s² is the universal acceleration scale
Lower temperature variance indicates higher thermal organization
Coherent motion patterns over large scales
Shannon entropy plus pattern complexity measure
Weighted combination optimized for gravitational correlation
JWST data shows massive galaxies (log M*/M☉ > 10) at redshifts z > 10, challenging standard structure formation timescales.
Where N ≈ 1.4 for typical spirals
Information complexity enhances star formation efficiency
Prediction: Early galaxies with high information complexity should show enhanced star formation rates, explaining rapid mass assembly observed by JWST.
Mass defect per bit of information erased
Integrated Information Theory Φ measure
EPO framework is falsified if: (1) Gravitational lensing shows no correlation with information complexity (r < 0.3), (2) No detectable mass-information equivalence in precision experiments, (3) Galaxy formation timescales match ΛCDM predictions exactly.
Analysis scripts, datasets, and prediction frameworks are available for independent verification and collaborative research. The EPO framework welcomes empirical testing and peer review from the scientific community.
