| contents | <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This document pre-registers three falsifiable observational predictions for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (launch May 2027) derived from the Field Topology Theory (FTT) framework, in which cosmic supervoids are proposed as zones of metric signature transition from Lorentzian (−,+,+,+) to Euclidean (+,+,+,+) character.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The three predictions are: (1) confirmation and void-size scaling of the observed ISW excess amplitude A_ISW ≈ 4–5 in the Roman supervoid sample; (2) an anomalous clock-rate gradient at void boundaries appearing as a multipole signal in the Void-Galaxy Cross-Correlation Function beyond standard redshift-space distortions; (3) a physical minimum void size cutoff in the Roman Void Size Function distinct from survey selection effects.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Each prediction is stated with the required Roman survey mode (HLWAS), data products, cross-correlation partners, methodology, and explicit falsification criteria. No new telescope pointings are required: all tests use HLWAS Level 2 data products already planned for standard BAO, RSD, and void cosmology science.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This summary is positioned relative to Verza, Pisani, Doré et al. (ApJ 2025, arXiv:2410.19713), which forecasts more than 80,000 voids from the Roman HLWAS. The document is offered as a pre-registration in the spirit of falsifiability: Roman will either find the predicted anomalies or it will not.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Predictions are grounded in the published FTT Zenodo catalogue. The ISW and clock-rate predictions draw on published results with existing observational support.
