  • <p>This archive contains the complete, reproducible research package for:</p> <p>“Topological Data Analysis Reveals Low-Dimensional Deterministic Structure in KIC 8462852 Dimming Events.”</p> <p>The study introduces and verifies a rigorous methodology combining Topological Data Analysis (TDA), Iterative Amplitude Adjusted Fourier Transform (IAAFT) surrogate testing, and Transfer Entropy (TE) to detect nonlinear, low-dimensional geometric structure in complex astrophysical time series. Applying this framework to Kepler and K2 light-curve data of KIC 8462852 (“Tabby’s Star”), the analysis reveals statistically significant, non-stochastic topological persistence features (H₁ > 0, p < 0.01) consistent with deterministic dynamics rather than noise or instrumental artifacts.</p>
