What the ALMA Release of 6 November 2026 Can Test: Pre-Data Predictions for U4_28473 and U4_27928 (Working Note)
Abstract
Working note, version 1.0 (2026-11-01). AI-assisted research programme; not peer reviewed. kappa = 1/2 is fitted; the theory is not closed. ALMA observing unit uid://A001/X3788/Xbfd2 of programme 2024.1.00100.L (CONDOR) is listed to become public at 02:42:31 UTC on 2026-11-06. This note states the programme's predictions before any of its data can be read. The unit's science target is U4_28473 at z = 2.52, not U4_27928, the galaxy this programme sealed for this date; U4_27928 lies 7.36 arcsec off the phase centre, and its frozen test is expected to score nothing (S/N 0.16 at its empirical gas mass). New predictions for U4_28473 from its published CO(3-2) flux: V_c(R) and the required alpha_CO under the a0 law (n = 1, nu_mono, n = 2, AQUAL disc), a0(z) readings on both footings, and a cold dark energy core rule, extrapolated. At 3 kpc the baryons alone give 431 to 846 km/s across input branches, so this galaxy tests its mass budget, not a0(z). One disc excludes no model. This is not evidence for the framework over LambdaCDM. AI assistance: Anthropic's Claude (analysis, review, drafting).
