kryptorious-qbio-coherence 0.3.0

Bio-Coherence Falsifier: a computational falsification engine for biological quantum-coherence claims, anchored to the Firmenich 2026 HEOM dephasing baseline.

qbio-coherence — Bio-Coherence Falsifier

A computational falsification engine for biological quantum-coherence claims. Every verdict is anchored to the Firmenich et al. (2026) HEOM dephasing baseline (γ_dephase = 7.69×10¹³ Hz → τ_coh ≈ 13 fs at 310 K), which is the rigorous reference for electronic coherence in protein environments and MUST be cited by any claim of functional biological quantum coherence.

Why this exists

Quantum biology has been assertion-driven for 30 years. Orch-OR, "quantum consciousness," and long-range-coherence claims are rarely checked against a real dephasing floor. This package turns those claims into falsifiable computations: feed it a claimed coherence time, declare (or omit) a protection mechanism, and get a verdict — SURVIVES / FALSIFIED / UNTESTED — with the failure mode and the mandatory baseline citation.

Install

pip install kryptorious-qbio-coherence

CLI

qbio-falsify baseline            # print the Firmenich floor
qbio-falsify list                # list built-in claims
qbio-falsify check               # falsify all built-in claims
qbio-falsify check "MT collective-mode protection (N=1000)"
qbio-falsify check --json out.json
qbio-falsify board --summary     # coherence leaderboard summary
qbio-falsify board               # full leaderboard

Run the module with python -m qbio_coherence.cli ... (do NOT use python qbio_coherence/cli.py directly — it imports the package and raises a RuntimeWarning/import-order issue).

Leaderboard (agentic layer)

The leaderboard is a persistent JSON registry of falsified claims — the public asset labs cite. Seed it with the verified built-in library, then append agent- extracted claims:

python -m qbio_coherence.ingest --self-test --path leaderboard.json
python -m qbio_coherence.ingest --claims extracted.json --path leaderboard.json
python -m qbio_coherence.cli board --summary

The agent extracts a claim (claimed τ, temperature, system, mechanism) from a paper; ingest runs the physics-enforced verdict and appends it. The verdict stage is deterministic and never bypasses the Firmenich floor.

from qbio_coherence import falsify, get_claim
from qbio_coherence.claims import get_claim
from qbio_coherence.baseline import FIRMENICH_T_COH

report = falsify(get_claim("MT bare electronic (Firmenich null)"))
print(report.verdict)  # FALSIFIED

NULLIUS: the adversarial truth ledger

NULLIUS ("take nobody's word for it") layers permanent, tamper-evident accountability on top of the falsifier (v0.3.0+). It is the public record that turns one-off verdicts into an auditable scientific ledger.

• Tamper-evident ledger (python -m qbio_coherence.ledger_cli): every verdict is recorded as a hash-chained entry (sha256 of prev_hash || payload). Altering any past verdict breaks the chain from that point forward, detectable by verify. The scientific record becomes auditable, not editable.
• Adversarial attack swarm (ledger_cli attack): probes each verdict across the full literature-supported parameter range and classifies robustness -- ROBUST / FRAGILE / EDGE / RECOVERABLE / FIRMLY FALSIFIED. A claim that "survives" only at the most favorable parameter extreme is flagged before it enters the literature. This is automated adversarial peer review.
• Verdict certificate (ledger_cli cert): a portable markdown attestation a researcher can attach to a preprint, embedding the ledger entry hash so anyone can verify it against the public chain.
• Public board (ledger_cli board): a self-contained, color-coded HTML page (green/falsified/amber) for any lab, journal, or skeptic to audit. Host on GitHub Pages, a static bucket, or IPFS.

python -m qbio_coherence.ledger_cli commit --reset   # seed ledger from built-in verdicts
python -m qbio_coherence.ledger_cli verify           # recompute full chain, report tamper status
python -m qbio_coherence.ledger_cli attack --json attack_report.json
python -m qbio_coherence.ledger_cli board --out nullius_board.html
python -m qbio_coherence.ledger_cli cert "MT Orch-OR functional coherence (naive)" --out cert.md

The certification market (badge API, institutional access, crypto settlement) is intentionally out of scope for v0.3.0: credibility first, monetization second. The ledger, swarm, certificate, and board are the free, reputation-building layer.

Honesty constraints

• Superradiance does NOT protect fidelity. The Dicke bright state is N times more sensitive to uncorrelated dephasing. Superradiance only speeds up radiative propagation. We never count it as a protection factor.
• Protection factors are only valid inside literature-supported bounds: collective √(N), non-Markovian ≤ 5×, entropy-feedback ≤ 50×, structured-bath (ENAQT) ≤ 20×.
• A claim with no declared mechanism that exceeds the 13 fs floor is UNTESTED, not proven — it requires a specific mechanism and experimental confirmation.

Built-in claims

Microtubule bare floor (Firmenich null), Orch-OR naive, collective-mode protection (N=1000), avian radical-pair compass (spin regime), photosynthetic FMO/ENAQT, and a collagen-piezoelectric proton-tunneling speculative claim (flagged as physical possibility, not demonstrated function).
