General Theory of the Coherence Field (GTCF)
Introduction
We are sharing a draft of a scalar–tensor framework (GTCF v3) that We have been developing as a public-good theoretical construct. We introduce a new scalar–tensor framework in which a non-local, kernel-smeared kinetic term drives both cosmic acceleration and the MOND-like phenomenology observed in galaxies. The theory is defined by a single shift-symmetric scalar field with a purely derivative action, supplemented by a covariant smoothing kernel of fixed physical width.
This framework is exploratory and intended as a theoretical construct in the public-domain open to modification, falsification, or extension by others.
Foundations of the GTCF
Foundations of the Coherence Field Framework (GTCF)
These notes outline the minimal conceptual foundation of the Coherence Field Framework (GTCF). They do not constitute a complete physical theory. Their purpose is to clarify the structural basis from which the framework emerges and to provide a coherent ground for its mathematical formulation.
Scientific Testing Protocol
GTCF v3 – Complete Scientific Testing Protocol
The document presents a complete observational testing protocol for the General Theory of the Coherence Field (GTCF). The protocol includes galactic dynamics, background cosmology, and the growth of cosmic structure. All results are obtained from direct numerical fits to observational datasets, using the theoretical predictions of GTCF without phenomenological modifications.
