Predicted by coherence.

NHC's 5-day genesis probability sits around 50–60%. We validated a coupling-weighted coherence framework on 38 Atlantic hurricane seasons and landed at r = 0.706, p ≈ 10⁻⁵. Not a curve fit — a physics prediction with a single derived equation.

Treat the atmosphere as one coupled system with hydrological, geomagnetic, thermal, tidal, seismic, and heliospheric channels. Compute one scalar. Score a season.

The physics

One equation. Seven channels.

C = C₀ · exp(−α · γ_eff)

γ_eff = Σᵢ wᵢ · γᵢ

Planetary coherence C decays against a weighted sum of decoherence channels. Each wᵢ is a physical coupling weight — not a curve fit — derived from domain-specific threshold conditions (SST 26.5 °C, shear magnitude, Saharan dust, atmospheric moisture, Kp coupling). Output: coherence state C, event probability, null-event probability, and the dominant channel driving either formation or suppression.

Method and System for Multi-Sensor Coupling-Weighted Coherence Analysis for Weather Event Prediction

Covers the coherence decay equation, the coupling-weighted decoherence sum, threshold-gated weight derivation, null-event probability computation, cross-system teleconnection detection, and the 38-season validation protocol as a falsifiability gate.

2026 Atlantic season · prospective.

The framework committed a published prediction on April 8, 2026 — before the season began. This is how falsifiability works: the gate is set, the number is locked, the season will judge.
