contents <h1><strong>Electromagnetic Curvature Theory v2.0</strong></h1> <p><strong>Electromagnetic Curvature Theory v2.0</strong> presents a governed, falsifiable, and accelerator‑ready research architecture for probing whether quantum‑coherent electromagnetic systems can generate measurable spacetime curvature signatures, or—if no effect exists—establish the strongest laboratory bounds to date on electromagnetic–gravity coupling.</p> <p>This version introduces major upgrades: • <strong>Expanded theoretical foundation</strong>, including Weyl curvature from electromagnetic fields (Lindgren & Liukkonen 2021), gravitational anomalies in chiral superconductors (Volovik 2021), and rotating‑field Weyl tensor modulation (Qiao 2025). • <strong>New apparatus architecture</strong>, including a dual‑ring HTS toroidal stack, axial superconducting lens, cryogenic vacuum system, and dual‑channel detection (interferometry ~10⁻¹⁵ rad; torsion balance ~10⁻¹² N·m). • <strong>Four‑tier falsifiability and detection ladder</strong>, enabling gross‑anomaly detection through to Tier‑4 null bounds at 10⁻¹⁸ rad/s. • <strong>Critical unknowns table</strong>, addressing amplification mechanisms, material dependence (YBCO vs Nb), coherence volume, detection thresholds, and scaling behaviour. • <strong>Integration of external experimental context</strong>, including Tajmar et al.
