A 2025 QED analysis shows that Lorentz-violating parameters introduced in one sector of a theory can spread to other sectors through quantum corrections — and that resonance-based experiments may be sensitive enough to constrain those effects.

Community-funded science pools are reaching scale in 2026, offering independent experimental projects new pathways to support that do not depend on institutional grant cycles.
A 2026 NIST-led study on acoustic resonators above 100 GHz demonstrates a stacking approach that dramatically improves figure of merit — with implications for any experiment that depends on resonant frequency as a primary observable.

A practical guide to separating measured frequency changes from drift, calibration limits, and environmental effects in a proposed resonance experiment.
Status: proposal stage. No experiment results, community opinions, installed-hardware claims or production submissions. These additions do not amend the current draft LOC-1 protocol.
Where this fits
The project’s first experiment, LOC-1, compares a moved test sphere with a fixed reference. The pages here examine whether measuring several objects in the same time window would make that test more diagnostic, and what it would cost in calibration. They are proposals for review; the LOC-1 draft remains the reference design. For instruments and budget, see the equipment procurement plan and budget and transparency.

Proposed architecture: concurrent readout paths → calibrated common timing / DAQ → aligned observation windows → blinded analysis. A device count alone is not a synchronization specification.
