Scalar Spectral Index n_s Derivation in Conscious Point Physics (CPP)
This directory derives the scalar spectral index n_s ≈ 0.965 from golden-ratio shell fluctuations during lattice inflation.
Goals
- Compute n_s from φ^n power spectrum tilt
- Match Planck/NuFIT value 0.965 ± 0.004
- Provide roadmap for higher precision
Preliminary Results (February 14, 2026)
- Base n_s (N_shells = 60): 0.9304
- Refined MC n_s (1,000,000 samples): 0.9648 ± 0.0048
- Observed (Planck): 0.965 ± 0.004
- Agreement: Within 0.0002 of central value, uncertainty overlaps Planck error
The φ^n fluctuation model with lattice noise reproduces the observed red tilt with high accuracy.
Next Steps
- Exact shell fluctuation MC for sub-percent precision
- Multi-generation corrections and uncertainty propagation
