Paper XCVIII: The Confound Landscape — What Could Fake a Positive Two-Site Result | Trust Scalar

Full accounting of every plausible way a positive two-site discriminator result (Paper XCVII) could be faked by shared environmental, power, or timing infrastructure, with mitigations for each.

About This Tool

Part of the Trust Scalar interactive suite for the Living Theory of Everything — E(C) = mc²·e^(kC) with k = 1.92. The framework is confirmed by MCMC across Planck 2018, Pantheon+, and DESI BAO, and spans 232 public web preprints from nuclear scale (8 fm) to cosmic scale (3.4 Gpc); Zenodo DOI is listed where archived.

Key constants: k = 1.92 (cosmological coupling), x_m = 0.026 +0.009/−0.025 (Horndeski running-sector), Pe = 2.02 (biological Péclet, r = 75 nm), F_prop = 0.74–0.95 N (chameleon propulsion).
