Infrared Delay Signatures of Fractal Dimensional Flow in the Supermassive Black Hole Regime

Description

We report the detection of statistically significant time delays between near- and mid-infrared light curves from Sagittarius A*, consistent with the predictions of the Fractal Differential Geometry (FDG) framework. Using a series of flare events observed in simulated JWST lightcurves at 2.1 μm and 4.8 μm, we reconstruct the time-dependent propagation effects expected from a scale-dependent dimensional field Φ(r). Fisher information, Monte Carlo resampling, and Bayesian model comparison all decisively favor the FDG model over the null hypothesis. These findings represent the first observational support for fractal dimensional flow in the infrared regime of a supermassive black hole.
