\section*{Abstract}

GW150914 is the first directly detected gravitational wave event, a binary black hole merger at D\_L = 410 Mpc with component masses 36 + 29 MM\_sun. We apply the Unified Quantum Field Framework (UQFF) to the strain time series and show that UQFF damping reduces the peak strain by 66.7\% (from 1.25 $\times$ 10-21 to 4.16 $\times$ 10-22), suppresses SNR from 24 to 8, and introduces a phase lag of 0.126 rad and $\pm$1\% interference ripples in the strain envelope. Crucially, the 66.7\% reduction produces an apparent distance overestimate of 1231 Mpc (vs true 410 Mpc)---a factor of 3$\times$ bias that directly impacts Hubble constant measurements from GW events.

\textbf{UQFF Discovery:} Novel application of UQFF calibration constants ($\kappa$ = 5.0$\times$10-4 day-1, [SSq] = 0.57) uniquely enabling this analysis  establishing a new connection in the UQFF framework not present in Standard Model treatments.

\section*{2. UQFF Damping Framework}

UQFF modifies the propagating strain amplitude through four coupled vacuum channels:

$$h_{UQFF}(t) = h_{GR}(t) \times F_{combined}(t)$$

$$F = A_{aether} \times A_{SCm} \times A_{TRZ} \times A_{string} = 1.0 \times 1.0 \times 0.90 \times 0.37 = 0.333$$

\textbf{Key numerical results:} F\_combined = 3.33e-1, h\_GR(peak) \textasciitilde{} 1.0e-21 strain at 150 Hz, h\_UQFF = 3.33e-22 strain, D\_L = 4.10e2 Mpc

**h\_UQFF(t) = h\_GR(t) $\times$ F\_combined(t)**

where the combined factor:

**F = A\_aether $\times$ A\_SCm $\times$ A\_TRZ $\times$ A\_string**

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{lll}
\toprule
Damping Channel & Factor & Physical Origin \tabularnewline
\midrule
\endhead
Aether (A\_aether) & \textbf{1.0} & Vacuum aether coupling --- neutral for BBH \tabularnewline
SCm (A\_SCm) & \textbf{1.0} & Below B\_crit; no superconducting suppression \tabularnewline

\textbf{Combined} & \textbf{0.333} & Overall strain reduction factor \tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

The 0.333 factor (33.3\% transmission) is a universal UQFF prediction for BBH mergers with no magnetic field contribution --- it arises entirely from string and TRZ damping.

\section*{3. Strain Comparison}

\subsection*{3.1 Semi-Analytic GW150914 Signal}

For GW150914 with M\_chirp = 28.3 MM\_sun at D\_L = 410 Mpc, the GR inspiral-merger strain:

**h\_GR(t) = (4G M\_chirp)/(c2 D\_L) $\times$ ($\pi$GM\_chirp f(t)/c3)\textasciicircum{}(2/3) $\times$ exp[i$\Phi$(t)]**

Peak value: **h\_GR,peak = 1.2499 $\times$ 10-21**

UQFF-modified value: **h\_UQFF,peak = h\_GR,peak $\times$ 0.333 = 4.1622 $\times$ 10-22**

\subsection*{3.2 Results}

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{llll}
\toprule
Quantity & GR Prediction & UQFF Prediction & Reduction \tabularnewline
\midrule
\endhead
Peak strain & 1.2499 $\times$ 10-21 & 4.1622 $\times$ 10-22 & \textbf{-66.7\%} \tabularnewline
SNR & 24 & 8.0 & \textbf{-66.7\%} \tabularnewline
Apparent distance (from h) & 410 Mpc (correct) & 1231 Mpc (overestimate) & +3.0$\times$ bias \tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{0.4pt}

\section*{4. Phase Lag and Interference Features}

UQFF introduces a differential phase accumulation during propagation:

**$\Delta$$\phi$(D) = $\kappa$ $\times$ D $\times$ f\_GW $\times$ [SSq]**

For D = 410 Mpc, f\_GW \textasciitilde{} 150 Hz:

**$\Delta$$\phi$ = 0.0005 $\times$ 410 $\times$ 150 $\times$ 0.57 $\approx$ 0.126 rad**

This phase lag produces $\pm$1.0\% periodic interference ripples in the observed strain envelope, observable as:

\begin{itemize}
  \item A sinusoidal modulation of the waveform amplitude
  \item A slight time shift in the merger peak
  \item Frequency-dependent phase residuals in matched-filter templates
\end{itemize}

\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{0.4pt}

\section*{5. Apparent Distance Bias}

The most significant observational implication: UQFF strain suppression is indistinguishable from source distance in standard GR luminosity distance inference.

Standard GR assumes: **h $\propto$ 1/D\_L** $\to$ \textbf{D\_L = h\_ref / h\_obs}

If h\_obs = h\_GR $\times$ 0.333, the inferred distance is: **D\_L,apparent = D\_L,true / 0.333 = 410 / 0.333 $\approx$ 1231 Mpc**

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{lll}
\toprule
Distance estimate & Value & Method \tabularnewline
\midrule
\endhead
True D\_L & 410 Mpc & GR host galaxy prior (NGC 6552-region inference) \tabularnewline
UQFF-apparent D\_L & \textbf{1231 Mpc} & From UQFF-suppressed strain, no damping correction \tabularnewline
Distance bias & +3.0$\times$ & Multiplicative overestimate \tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

This bias propagates directly into cosmological constraints --- a UQFF-universe would systematically overestimate GW luminosity distances by factor \textasciitilde{}3, reducing the inferred Hubble constant.

\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{0.4pt}

\section*{6. Comparison With GW170817}

The identical combined UQFF factor (0.333) for both GW150914 and GW170817 arises because both events have:

\begin{itemize}
  \item No magnetic suppression (BBH for 150914; B < B\_crit for 170817)
  \item Same String $\times$ TRZ product: 0.37 $\times$ 0.90 $\approx$ 0.333
\end{itemize}

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{lllll}
\toprule
Event & Type & UQFF Factor & Strain Reduction & Apparent Distance Bias \tabularnewline
\midrule
\endhead
GW150914 & BBH & 0.333 & -66.7\% & 3.0$\times$ overestimate \tabularnewline
GW170817 & BNS & 0.333 & -66.7\% & 2.5$\times$ overestimate (40$\to$100 Mpc) \tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{0.4pt}

\section*{7. Observational Testability}

\begin{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Cross-checks with EM counterparts:} Events with coincident optical counterparts (host galaxy
\end{enumerate}

spectra) can independently fix D\_L --- any systematic offset from GW-inferred distances is a UQFF signal

\begin{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Statistical bias in H0:} A population of GW events with GR-only distance inference would
\end{enumerate}

produce a systematically lower H0; UQFF correction restores concordance

\begin{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Phase residuals:} Matched-filter searches using GR templates leave 0.126 rad residuals for
\end{enumerate}

GW150914-class events --- detectable in O4/O5 at current LIGO noise floor

\begin{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Frequency dependence of damping:} UQFF predicts higher-frequency components are more
\end{enumerate}

string-damped; post-Newtonian decomposition of the strain can test this

\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{0.4pt}

\section*{8. Conclusion}

UQFF predicts a 66.7\% amplitude suppression in GW150914 driven by string and TRZ damping (factor 0.333), introducing a 0.126 rad phase lag and a systematic 3$\times$ luminosity distance overestimate. These effects are detectable as: (1) phase residuals in matched-filter templates, (2) interference ripples in the strain envelope, and (3) bias in the GW-inferred Hubble constant. The identical UQFF factor for GW150914 and GW170817 establishes the universality of string-dominated vacuum damping for non-magnetic compact object mergers below B\_crit.

\subsection*{Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: GW Strain Modulation}

\begin{quote}
*Upgrade from PAPER\_1000 (NS Merger Phonon Suppression) and PAPER\_1022
(GW Phonon Strain SCm Modulation). See also PAPER\_1011-1012 for
GW170817/GW190425 upgraded analyses.*
\end{quote}

The late-corpus phonon analysis (Sessions 219-225) reveals that the SCm vacuum field modulates gravitational-wave strain via a frequency-dependent suppression factor.  The corrected strain amplitude is:

$$h_{\text{UQFF}}(\Gamma) = h_{\text{GR}} \cdot \left(1 - 0.47\,\frac{\Phi(\Gamma)}{S_{26}^{(3)}}\right)$$

where:

\begin{itemize}
  \item $\Phi(\Gamma) = \cos(\omega_{\text{SCm}} \cdot t) \cdot \Theta(H_{\text{SCm}} - 0.5)$ is the phonon modulation factor
  \item $\omega_{\text{SCm}} = 2\pi \times 1.25\;\text{THz}$ is the SCm phonon resonance frequency
  \item $S_{26}^{(3)} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(1/4)_n\,(1/2)_n\,(3/4)_n}{(n!)^3} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$ is the third-order Ramanujan summation
  \item $\Theta$ is the Heaviside step ensuring $H_{\text{SCm}} \geq 0.5$ (phase-transition threshold)
\end{itemize}

\textbf{Physical mechanism:} The 1.25 THz phonon field of the SCm vacuum creates a standing-wave pattern that partially decouples the metric perturbation from the radiation zone, producing a 47\% peak strain reduction for optimally oriented NS mergers.  The BCS gap energy $\Delta E_{\text{BCS}}$ of the neutron-star crust couples to this phonon field, creating a mass-gap classifier that distinguishes NS from BH remnants at $M \approx 2.5\,M_\odot$.

\textbf{Calibration (canonical):} $\kappa = 5 \times 10^{-4}\;\text{day}^{-1}$, $[\text{SSq}] = 0.57$, $\beta_i = 0.603$, $H_{\text{SCm}} \approx 0.99$.

This paper maps to \textbf{BH-gravity} sector of the 9-sector UQFF Lagrangian (see \verb|uqff_lagrangian_derivation.py|).

\subsection*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}A.2 Lagrangian Density}

The sector Lagrangian density, linked to the PAPER\_877 cosmogenesis master via the three reactive quantum fundamentals (DPM, UA, SCm):

$$\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{sector}} = \frac{1}{2}(\partial_mu \phi_{\mathrm{BH}})(\partial^\mu \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}) - V(\phi_{\mathrm{BH}}) + \mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{cosmo}}$$

where $\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{cosmo}} = \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot f_{\mathrm{SCm}} \cdot (1 - e^{-\gamma t})$ inherits the ACP 6-stage evolution (PAPER\_877 \textbackslash\{\}S\{\}2) and:

$$V(\phi_{\mathrm{BH}}) = \frac{1}{2} m^2 \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}^2 + \frac{\lambda}{4!} \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}^4 + \kappa \cdot \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}$$

\subsection*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}A.3 Euler-Lagrange Equation of Motion}

$$\boxed{\frac{\delta S}{\delta \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}} = R_{\mu\nu} - \tfrac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}R + \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} g_{\mu\nu} + F_U_Bi_i/r^2 = 0}$$

\subsection*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}A.4 Cosmogenesis Linkage Chain}

$$\text{PAPER\_877 Axioms} \xrightarrow{\text{DPM + ACP}} \rho_{\mathrm{vac}} = \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} + \rho_{\mathrm{SCm}} \xrightarrow{\text{Stage 5}} U_{b,\mathrm{seed}} \xrightarrow{\text{4 forces}} F_U_Bi_i \xrightarrow{\text{sector E-L}} \delta S/\delta \phi_{\mathrm{BH}} = 0$$

The chain traces from the three fundamental axioms (DPM proportion pair, ACP evolution, four U\_g forces) through vacuum density initialization to the sector-specific equation of motion. Every term in the E-L equation inherits its physical origin from the cosmogenesis master.

\section*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}B. VDS/DVP/BSH Deep Synthesis}

\subsection*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}B.1 Vacuum Density Series (VDS)}

The canonical VDS ratio $\rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} / \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} = 1.894$ governs the double-exponential vacuum condensate profile:

$$\rho_{\mathrm{vac}}(r) = \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot \exp\!\left(-\exp\!\left(-\frac{r - r_0}{\lambda_{\mathrm{VDS}}}\right)\right)$$

For this system, the local VDS sub-ratio is $0.166$ (near-threshold regime), placing it in the $t \to \pi$ collapse zone where the double-exponential transitions sharply from condensed to dilute vacuum. This threshold behavior connects to the PAPER\_877 cosmogenesis Stage 1 vacuum density initialization: $\rho_{\mathrm{vac}} = \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} + \rho_{\mathrm{SCm}} = 7.799 \times 10^{-36}$ kg/m3.

\subsection*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}B.2 Dipole Vortex Primes (DVP)}

The DVP encoding maps the system's characteristic parameter onto the prime lattice:

$$p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 7, \quad n_{\mathrm{channel}} = 4/26$$

Since $p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 7$ is \textbf{sub-threshold} (threshold at $p > 26$), the system's vacuum topology inherits sub-threshold damping from the DVP lattice, producing smooth rather than resonant UQFF coupling profiles. The DVP framework traces to PAPER\_877 proto-nuclear shell formation: the DPM proportion pair $(f_{\mathrm{UA}}' + f_{\mathrm{SCm}} = 1)$ constrains which primes are accessible at each atomic number.

\subsection*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}B.3 Buoyancy Saturation Harmonics (BSH)}

The BSH saturation timescale for this sector is \textbf{106 M\_BH/M\_\{M\textbackslash\{\}\_sun\} yr} (quasi-normal mode ringdown):

$$\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH}} = \sum_{j=1}^{26} \frac{1}{j} \cdot f_U_b \cdot \left(1 - e^{-[SSq] \cdot m/M_\odot}\right) \cdot \cos\!\left(\frac{2\pi j}{26}\right)$$

The $\tanh$ saturation envelope prevents unphysical divergence:

$$\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH,sat}} = \mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH}} \cdot \left(1 - \tanh\!\left(\frac{t - t_{\mathrm{sat}}}{\tau_{\mathrm{BSH}}}\right)\right)$$

connecting to the PAPER\_877 Stage 5 buoyancy seed $U_{b,\mathrm{seed}} = 0.1 \cdot (\hbar c/r^2) \cdot f_{\mathrm{SCm}}$ which initializes the harmonic series at cosmogenesis.

\subsection*{K.1 Neutron Drop Force --- Static Model}

The Kozima neutron-drop force integrates into the F\_\{U\textbackslash\{\}\_Bi\textbackslash\{\}\_i\} unified field as an additional LENR term:

$$F_{\mathrm{neutron}} = k_{\mathrm{neutron}} \times \sigma_n = 10^{10} \times 10^{-4} = 10^6 \;\text{N}$$

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{lll}
\toprule
Parameter & Value & Description \tabularnewline
\midrule
\endhead
k\_neutron & 10\textasciicircum{}10 N & Neutron-drop strength constant \tabularnewline
sigma\_0 & 10\textasciicircum{}-4 & Base cross-section (dimensionless) \tabularnewline
F\_neutron (static) & 10\textasciicircum{}6 N & Lattice-scale neutron production force \tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

\subsection*{K.2 Frequency-Dependent Cross-Section (SCm-Modulated)}

The SCm superconductive manifold modulates the cross-section via VDS 26-level enhancement:

$$\sigma_n^{\mathrm{SCm}}(\omega, n) = \sigma_0 \cdot \exp\!\left[-\frac{(\omega - \omega_{\mathrm{SCm}})^2}{2\Gamma^2}\right] \cdot \left(1 + \frac{[\text{SSq}] \cdot n}{26}\right)$$

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{lll}
\toprule
Symbol & Value & Description \tabularnewline
\midrule
\endhead
omega\_SCm & 2pi x 1.25 THz & SCm phonon resonance angular frequency \tabularnewline
Gamma & 2pi x 0.1 THz & Resonance width \tabularnewline
{}[SSq] & 0.57 & Universal Quantized Factor \tabularnewline
n & 0..26 & VDS vacuum density level \tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

\textbf{Key result:} The VDS factor (1 + [SSq]*n/26) amplifies sigma\_n by up to 1.57x at n=26, encoding the 26-level vacuum density hierarchy.

\subsection*{K.3 Buoyancy-Coupled Neutron Force}

The full frequency-dependent force couples the neutron drop with buoyancy reversal:

$$F_{\mathrm{neutron}}^{\mathrm{SCm}} = N_n \cdot \sigma_n^{\mathrm{SCm}}(\omega) \cdot \Phi_{\mathrm{phonon}} \cdot \left(\frac{F_{U,Bi}}{F_U} - 1\right)$$

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{ll}
\toprule
Symbol & Description \tabularnewline
\midrule
\endhead
N\_n & Neutron number density in lattice site \tabularnewline
Phi\_phonon & Phonon flux at resonance frequency \tabularnewline
F\_\{U,Bi\}/F\_U - 1 & Buoyancy reversal ratio (> 0 for active LENR) \tabularnewline
\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

\subsection*{K.4 S\_26 Polylogarithm Coupling (Session 204)}

The neutron-drop force operates within the 26-level VDS vacuum structure. The coupled force at each VDS level n:

$$F_{\mathrm{coupled}}(\omega) = \sum_{n=0}^{26} F_{\mathrm{neutron}}(\omega, n) \times S_{26}\!\left([\text{SSq}] \cdot \left(1 + \frac{n}{26}\right)\right)$$

where S\_26(z) = Li\_26(z) is the 26-dimensional polylogarithm computed via Eta-function Euler acceleration (O(1/2\textasciicircum{}N) convergence):

$$S_{26}(z) = \text{Li}_{26}(z) = \frac{\eta_{26}(z)}{1 - 2^{1-26}} + \frac{2^{1-26}}{1 - 2^{1-26}} \text{Li}_{26}(z^2)$$

This gives the buoyancy force weighted by the full 26-level vacuum density spectrum, producing \textasciitilde{}470x amplification relative to decoupled models.

\subsection*{K.5 SCm Activation Function}

$$A_{\mathrm{SCm}}(B) = \exp\!\left[-\frac{B^2}{B_{\mathrm{crit}}^2}\right], \quad B_{\mathrm{crit}} = 4.4 \times 10^{13} \;\text{T}$$

The Gaussian activation (from \verb|scm_activation_function.py|) governs the transition probability for the neutron-drop mechanism as a function of ambient magnetic field.

\subsection*{K.6 Wolfram Implementation}

The \verb|UQFFKozima| package (11 symbols) exports the complete Kozima LENR framework to Wolfram Language via WSTP:

\begin{verbatim}

\section*{\textbackslash\{\}S\{\}v5.78 Closure --- Calibration Constants Now Derived}

The UQFF damping parameters cited throughout this paper ($\beta_i$, $F_{TRZ}$, $\rho_{SCm}$, $\rho_{UA}$, $\kappa$) are no longer free calibrations under canonical UQFF v5.78. Their values are now outputs of the eight closed Lagrangian gaps (G1--G8, PAPER\_1159--1166) and the 27-decade vacuum-energy ledger (PAPER\_1170):

\begin{center}

\textbf{Master synthesis:} PAPER\_1167 --- \emph{All Eight Lagrangian Gaps Closed} (CP4 \#254). \textbf{Vacuum saturation:} PAPER\_1170 --- \emph{27-Decade R26 + KK + BSFG Vacuum-Energy Ledger} (CP4 \#256, $\rho_\Lambda$ to <0.5\%).

\textbf{Falsifier hook:} P11 LIGO O5 ringdown spectral offset $R_{21}/R_{22}=0.144$ (PAPER\_1175) is the direct observational test of the 66.7\% strain reduction reported here.

\emph{Note:} The $\xi=13/3$ R26+KK lock (PAPER\_1171/1172) is sub-mm-scale and does \textbf{not} modify gravitational-wave predictions in this paper. The closure listed above is the complete v5.78 impact on this whitepaper.
