X3 Protocol v1.0 with ccec v1.0

This deposit contains two independent components: (1) the X3 experimental protocol v1.0, and (2) the CCEC conceptual framework v1.0. They are archived together for completeness and citation consistency. X3 Protocol v1.0 presents a laboratory‑ready experimental procedure designed to test whether low‑entropy, highly ordered information stored on a physical substrate produces a measurable mass difference compared to high‑entropy random data. The protocol outlines the full methodology required to evaluate this proposed information–mass coupling, including equipment specifications, environmental controls, blind‑label procedures, repeated measurements, and statistical analysis. The aim of X3 is not to claim a confirmed physical effect, but to provide a transparent, falsifiable, and replicable framework that allows independent researchers to test the hypothesis under controlled conditions. This version establishes the baseline standard for future refinements, replications, and potential cross‑laboratory comparisons. CCEC v1.0 (Consciousness–Coherence–Energy–Cosmology Framework) is the first complete release of a conceptual cosmology that explores how information, structure, and coherence may interact across physical scales. The framework introduces a set of foundational principles, structural models, and cross‑scale analogies intended to unify several recurring patterns observed in natural systems. This version includes the core architecture of the theory, its internal logic, the relationships between its components, and the motivations behind its development. CCEC v1.0 is presented as an open, evolving research framework rather than a finalised physical theory. Its purpose is to provide a structured foundation for critique, refinement, and future development by the wider scientific and open‑science community.
