A GNSS-Based Experimental Test of Thermal Relativity (TR): Direct Measurement of Proper Time Lag as an Ordering Response

This paper presents a GNSS-based experimental test of Thermal Relativity (TR), in which gravity is defined as a measured response arising from spatial gradients in a lattice’s ordering response to free thermal energy forcing. Using existing GNSS clock-comparison infrastructure, the experiment isolates residual proper-time deviations after subtraction of General Relativity predictions and tests whether these residuals correlate with gradients in the ordering response. The work provides a falsifiable observational pathway grounded in a first-principles, capacity-limited lattice framework whose internal consistency has been independently certified by a Boltzmann-style causal solver.
