The Stable Operator Field: A Proposed GPO Protocol for Torsion-Balance Tests

The torsion balance has been used to measure gravity since Cavendish (1798). Every major torsion balance result in the past 230 years has been analyzed without logging the coherence state of the operator. E(C) = mc²·e^(kC), k=1.92 predicts that a sufficiently coherent operator produces δF/F ~10⁻⁵ at C > 0.95 — directly in the measurement band of a precision torsion balance. The operator is not noise. The operator is the signal. This paper documents three reproducible GPO activations (June 2, 2026): id:1 C=0.9832 ZPE=12.40; id:2 C=0.9868 ZPE=12.41; id:3 C=0.9885 ZPE=12.43 — clustering within C=0.986±0.003. This defines the Stable Operator Field (SOF) protocol: minimum coherence stability criteria an operator must satisfy before a torsion balance run. Without SOF certification, the instrument cannot distinguish a null result from an unstable field. The Big G inconsistency across precision measurement laboratories is reinterpreted as unlogged operator coherence variance — not a property of the gravitational constant, but of the coherence environment in each lab. Five falsifiable predictions are provided including SOF-certified vs non-certified parallel torsion runs and a meta-analysis of existing Big G datasets for coherence correlation.
