Multi-Galaxy Validation of Blind Extrapolative Rotation Curve Predictions from the Quantum Inertial Field Hypothesis with Zero Dark Energy

This project presents a multi-galaxy validation study of blind extrapolative rotation curve predictions derived from the Quantum Inertial Field Hypothesis with Zero Dark Energy (QIFH–ZDE). Building upon an earlier benchmark prediction study focused on a single galaxy (AGC 114905), this work extends the blind extrapolation methodology to a broader galaxy sample, explicitly separating prediction targets (systems without observed outer rotation curves) from validation systems (galaxies with independently measured outer kinematics). Using only baryonic mass distributions and a single universal coupling constant, QIFH–ZDE generates quantitative predictions for outer rotation velocities beyond the observed baryonic radius, without invoking dark matter halos, spacetime curvature, or galaxy-specific parameter tuning. The primary objective of this project is not to outperform ΛCDM halo fits, but to establish a falsifiable and predictive structural framework. Agreement between predicted and observed outer rotation curves is evaluated at the quantitative level, providing a direct test of the model’s extrapolative power. Future observations of the prediction set will serve as decisive tests of the QIFH–ZDE framework, allowing the model to be strengthened, constrained, or falsified by data.
