Flux-Associated Luminous Domain Events (2025–2026): A Structured Environmental Flux Index (FEI) Analysis Wherein Results Are Consistent with the SP3 Framework Prediction of Substrate Conditioning and Flux-Associated Memory Effects

This Zenodo-style report presents the results of a pre-registered survey evaluating associations
between luminous orb/ball-lightning events and environmental flux variables. Thirty screened
luminous-domain cases (2025–2026) were compared to 30 matched control observer-opportunity
samples. A Flux Environmental Index (FEI) was calculated using public datasets (lightning
climatology, infrastructure density, aviation/maritime corridors, fault proximity, and transmission
networks). Results demonstrate a statistically significant elevation in FEI among luminous cases
relative to controls (mean FEI case = 8.4 vs. control = 5.7, Wilcoxon p < 0.05), supporting the
hypothesis that luminous-domain events preferentially occur in higher-flux environments.
