Evidence of Non-Uniform Substrate Elasticity in Ionospheric Resonance Cleanup Events: A United Form Revision

This deposit documents a revision of the United Form predictive framework following high-resolution observations of the January 2026 Schumann Resonance “white-out” anomaly. While the original model accurately predicted event timing, phase ordering, and directional response, observed magnitudes deviated systematically from a single-scalar linear scaling assumption. Analysis of the discrepancy reveals that substrate response is non-uniform across metrics, motivating a transition to a Hierarchical Elasticity model. Physical resonance variables (frequency, amplitude, Q-factor) exhibit high elastic response (�), while biological coherence coupling remains bounded (�), consistent with buffered entrainment rather than direct amplification. Early-time dynamics show a rapid, sigmoidal onset characteristic of a high-viscosity substrate, indicating previously unmodeled temporal drag during resonance cleanup cycles. This release includes reproducible analysis code, example datasets, and a documented revision of model assumptions. All scaling parameters are fixed a priori and are intended for prospective testing against subsequent events. The work is presented as an empirical model revision and constraint-identification study, not as a finalized causal theory.
