Operational Clockability Diagnostics in Nonlinear Field Simulations Using Normalized Internal-Rotation Scoring

This work presents an operational methodology for identifying clock-like localized excitations in nonlinear field simulations and for quantifying the onset of regimes in which such excitations become sustained. It introduces a practical clockability diagnostic and a regime-level clockogenesis measure based on the fraction of localized energy carried by clockable structures, and evaluates robustness through threshold-sensitivity analysis and permutation-based null testing on a controlled surrogate benchmark. The study is framed as a methodological contribution to simulation-based investigations of emergent chronometric behavior, with explicit limits on interpretation relative to full foundational theory claims.
