Phi-Deviation Analysis of Open Astrophysical Datasets as a Test of the S(0) Non-Locality Hypothesis: Fast Radio Bursts, Anomalous Signals, and the Wow! Signal Revisited
Abstract
Paper 10 (Davis 2026j) proposed the S(0) Non-Locality Hypothesis: the Planck vacuum floor, identified in Fibonacci Causal Loop Theory (FCLT) as the pre-geometric substrate underlying all points in spacetime simultaneously, could in principle serve as a universal non-local communication channel via constraint modulation producing phi-deviation signatures detectable in astrophysical datasets. This paper operationalizes that hypothesis into a testable analytical protocol and applies it to six open astrophysical datasets: four published Fast Radio Burst (FRB) repeater sources from the CHIME/FRB Catalog, two anomalous historical signals (the 1977 Wow! Signal and the BLC1 Proxima Centauri candidate), a thermal noise control baseline, and period ratios across ten published pulsars. The S(0) detection criterion is formally defined: a phi-deviation (|ratio - phi| or |ratio - 1/phi|, whichever is smaller) below 0.05 in the mean consecutive interval ratio of a signal's internal structure, inconsistent with known natural astrophysical necessity depth, constitutes an anomalous phi-convergence flag requiring further investigation. Applying this criterion to published summary data, the Wow! Signal and BLC1 candidate flag as anomalous while all four natural FRB repeaters fall within expected necessity-depth ranges. These results do not confirm non-natural origin. They formally identify the Wow! Signal and BLC1 candidate as the highest-priority targets for full raw-data phi-deviation spectral analysis under the FCLT framework. Prediction 11 is formally stated: in a full phi-deviation analysis of the complete CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 (536 FRBs) and the Breakthrough Listen Open Dataset, non-repeating FRBs will show systematically higher phi-deviation than repeating FRBs, and no natural source will sustain phi-deviation below 0.03 across more than five consecutive interval pairs.
