A QRFT--APM Framework for Gravitational-Wave Coherence Analysis: A QMU Translation and Coherence-Channel Study of LIGO Strain Data

This work presents a deterministic framework linking gravitational-wave strain data to Aether Physics Model (APM) quantities using Quantum Measurement Units (QMU). The approach integrates a QRFT-based signal analysis pipeline with a ledger-consistent mapping from detector strain to magnetic-charge flux amplitude and closure-coherence observables. Gravitational-wave strain $h(t)$ is interpreted as a fractional deformation of Aether-unit geometry. The central result establishes a direct mapping from strain rate to magnetic-charge flux amplitude:\[\mathrm{mflx}_h=\frac{m_e {\lambda_C}^2}{{e_\mathrm{emax}}^2}\frac{dh}{dt}.\] This defines a deterministic transformation chain:\[h(t)\;\rightarrow\;\frac{dh}{dt}\;\rightarrow\;\chi_h\;\rightarrow\;\mathrm{mflx}_h,\]where $\chi_h$ represents normalized closure excitation. The QRFT analysis pipeline is reformulated using fixed structural parameters derived from Aether closure geometry:\[p_{\mathrm{cl}} = 2,\qquad\delta = \frac{8\pi}{3},\qquad\tau_{\mathrm{QRFT}} = 10^{-25}\ \mathrm{s}.\] Chronovibrational delay is defined as\[\Delta t_{\mathrm{chrono},h}=\frac{1}{{F_q}^2}\frac{dh}{dt},\]providing a closure-response proxy derived from strain-rate dynamics. Worked examples using GW190521 and GW170817 demonstrate the strain-to-QMU mapping and the behavior of cross-detector coherence observables under a fixed-parameter pipeline. Subsequent off-source comparisons show that mean phase coherence and resonance-density measures alone are weak discriminators in interferometric strain data. Accordingly, this work is presented as a translation and methodology framework rather than a completed observational validation. It establishes a reproducible bridge between gravitational-wave observations and Aether closure variables while identifying transverse-rotational observables, such as inter-detector phase acceleration, as promising candidates for future investigation. All source code and analysis scripts are included to ensure reproducibility of the QRFT--APM pipeline and its application to publicly available gravitational-wave datasets.
