CHRONON-1 — Stage 00 is a fully reproducible, integrity-first analysis of public optical-clock comparisons from the ROCIT campaign (March 2022), conducted in a preregistration-style framework.
\nThe objective is deliberately narrow and conservative:
(1) stress-test the internal consistency of the network using loop-closure (triangle) null tests, and
(2) report a single conservative bound from an endpoint-only residual, without model fitting or speculative interpretation.
Network integrity (primary result):
Loop-closure / triangle non-closure null tests on Ntri = 10 independent triangles.
Robustness matrix:
Nruns = 32 analysis variants (aggregation, trimming, HAC lag choices, veto gates) to ensure the verdict is not a fragile pipeline artefact.
Endpoint-only prototype (exploratory):
Post-GR residual defined on an inter-laboratory same-species baseline, included for operational definition only.
No statistically significant non-closure is observed on the tested loops
(primary verdict: Run 00; multiplicity control: Bonferroni, m = 10).
Conservative global integrity bound:
BoundStage00 (UB) = 4.613 × 10\u207b¹\u2077
Worst-case informative triangle:
INRIM_ITYb1 – PTB_In_CombKnoten – SYRTE_Sr2
(worst run: Run 21)
Stage 00 does not claim a detection.
Public geodesy (U, sigma_U) is not standardized across sites in the ROCIT archive; therefore any physical “signal” interpretation is intentionally out of scope at this stage.
Input data: ROCIT Consortium public archive (Zenodo; see Related Works / References).
This work is an independent analysis and is not affiliated with the ROCIT consortium.
Every reported number is traceable to a machine-generated artifact (report.pdf) and a pinned public input archive.
Cryptographic checksums, a reproduction manifest (MANIFEST.json), and all generated figures and tables are provided as replication artifacts.
Each submission is reviewed by our curators to ensure scientific rigor, thematic relevance, and compliance with Zenodo standards. Authors are contacted for revisions if necessary. Approved contributions are published directly by the curators.
