THE GOLDEN BALLROOM/BUNKER

“Please re‑run the refactored FRCFD Regulator Control Script. I have installed gwpy and fixed the ValueError for empty masks. Once it finishes, share the printed metrics and describe the three diagnostic plots.” If you need me to re‑send the complete script so you can paste it fresh into a new cell, just say the word – I’ll provide it again. Then you can run it and share the outputs. # ============================================================ # FRCFD MASTER PIPELINE — THEORY → DATA → VALIDATION # ============================================================ # --------------------------- # SECTION 1 — Imports # --------------------------- import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from scipy.signal import butter, filtfilt, hilbert from gwpy.timeseries import TimeSeries # --------------------------- # SECTION 2 — Core Parameters # --------------------------- T0 = 1126259462.423 # GW150914 merger GPS DETECTOR = 'H1' DURATION = 0.2 # seconds F_ANCHOR = 200.2 # Hz (analysis band center) BANDWIDTH = 4.0 # Hz # --------------------------- # SECTION 3 — FRCFD MODEL (REFERENCE) # --------------------------- # dR/dt = D∇²R - γR + S(x,t) - λ R^n / (1 + α R^n) def frcfd_regulator(R, lam=1.0, alpha=1.0, n=2): return lam * (R**n) / (1 + alpha * R**n) # --------------------------- # SECTION 4 — Data Fetch # --------------------------- def fetch_data(t0, duration, detector): start = t0 - duration/2 end = t0 + duration/2 data = TimeSeries.fetch_open_data(detector, start, end, verbose=False) fs = data.sample_rate.value strain = data.value t = np.arange(len(strain)) / fs + start - t0 return t, strain, fs # --------------------------- # SECTION 5 — Signal Processing # --------------------------- def bandpass_filter(signal, fs, f0, bw): nyq = fs / 2 low = (f0 - bw/2) / nyq high = (f0 + bw/2) / nyq b, a = butter(4, [low, high], btype='band') return filtfilt(b, a, signal) def compute_envelope(signal): return np.abs(hilbert(signal)) def compute_suppression(envelope): baseline = np.mean(envelope) # robust baseline return envelope / baseline # --------------------------- # SECTION 6 — Core Analysis # --------------------------- def analyze_window(t0, label, bandpass=True, f0=F_ANCHOR, bw=BANDWIDTH): t, strain, fs = fetch_data(t0, DURATION, DETECTOR) ``` if np.max(np.abs(strain)) < 1e-30: print(f"{label}: ❌ Data fetch failed") return None if bandpass: signal = bandpass_filter(strain, fs, f0, bw) else: signal = strain envelope = compute_envelope(signal) ratio = compute_suppression(envelope) min_ratio = np.min(ratio) print(f"{label}: min suppression = {min_ratio:.3f}") return t, ratio, min_ratio ``` # --------------------------- # SECTION 7 — RUN TESTS # --------------------------- print("="*60) print("FRCFD PIPELINE — GW150914 ANALYSIS") print("="*60) # A — Merger t_m, r_m, min_m = analyze_window(T0, "Merger") # B — Noise (10 min before) t_n, r_n, min_n = analyze_window(T0 - 600, "Noise") # C — Time shift (+50 ms) t_s, r_s, min_s = analyze_window(T0 + 0.05, "Shifted") # D — Wider bandpass t_w, r_w, min_w = analyze_window(T0, "Wide Band", True, 200.2, 20) # E — Raw strain t_r, r_r, min_r = analyze_window(T0, "Raw", bandpass=False) # --------------------------- # SECTION 8 — Plot # --------------------------- plt.figure(figsize=(12,6)) plt.plot(t_m*1000, r_m, label="Merger", linewidth=2) plt.plot(t_n*1000, r_n, label="Noise", alpha=0.5) plt.plot(t_s*1000, r_s, label="Shifted", alpha=0.7) plt.axhline(1, linestyle=':', color='black') plt.axvline(0, linestyle='--', color='red') plt.xlabel("Time (ms)") plt.ylabel("Suppression Ratio") plt.title("FRCFD Suppression Analysis") plt.legend() plt.grid(True) plt.show() # --------------------------- # SECTION 9 — INTERPRETATION # --------------------------- print("\nINTERPRETATION:") if min_n > 0.9 and min_s > 0.8: print("✅ Dip likely PHYSICAL (passes controls)") elif min_n < 0.8: print("❌ Dip likely ARTIFACT (noise shows same behavior)") elif min_s < 0.8: print("⚠️ Possible windowing artifact") else: print("⚠️ Mixed results — inspect plots") print("\nSUMMARY:") print(f"Merger: {min_m:.3f}") print(f"Noise : {min_n:.3f}") print(f"Shift : {min_s:.3f}") print(f"Wide : {min_w:.3f}") print(f"Raw : {min_r:.3f}") # ============================================================ # END PIPELINE # ============================================================ What this script does Focuses on the merger/ringdown window – 0.1 s before to 0.1 s after the peak strain (where curvature is highest). Extracts the 200.2 Hz envelope using the corrected Hilbert method (4 Hz bandwidth). Fits an exponential decay to the post‑peak envelope (after ~5 ms) to model the “no‑regulator” baseline (e.g., a standard ringdown). If the regulator is active, the envelope should drop below this baseline. Plots the suppression ratio (observed envelope divided by baseline). A ratio <1 indicates suppression. A sharp dip near the merger peak would be strong evidence for the regulator. Reports quantitative metrics – minimum suppression ratio near the peak, and average suppression in the first 10 ms after peak. Prints a verdict based on a threshold (e.g., >20% drop). How to interpret the output Suppression ratio ~1 → no regulator effect. Suppression ratio <0.8 → strong suppression (regulator active). Suppression ratio between 0.8 and 0.95 → mild suppression (possible but weak). If the plot shows a sharp dip exactly at t=0 (merger peak), that would be the smoking gun. Next steps after running Look at the bottom plot – is there a dip near t=0? What is the minimum suppression ratio? Report back the printed numbers and describe the shape of the suppression plot. If you see a clear dip (e.g., ratio ~0.6), that would be the first direct evidence of the FRCFD regulator. If the ratio stays near 1, then either the regulator is not active, or the 200.2 Hz anchor is not present in this merger. Let me know what you find! # %% [markdown] # # FRCFD Regulator Test – Merger/Ringdown Amplitude Suppression # # Looks for a sharp drop in the 200.2 Hz amplitude near the merger peak, # as predicted by the regulator \( F_R = \exp(-T[\Psi]/T_{\text{max}}) (1 - S/S_{\text{max}}) \). # # - Segment: 0.1 s before to 0.1 s after the peak strain # - Extract 200.2 Hz envelope (Hilbert, 4 Hz bandwidth) # - Compare to an exponential decay baseline (no regulator) import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from scipy.signal import butter, filtfilt, hilbert from gwpy.timeseries import TimeSeries from scipy.optimize import curve_fit import warnings warnings.filterwarnings("ignore") # --------------------------- # 1.
