Scorecard Performance Evaluation

Measures, metrics, and indicators of progress and status

Nothing beats rigorous, in-depth detailed peer review scrutiny by the respected global experts.

With that in progress, here we present a collective of different ways and means to assess and judge status.

01

Respected Peer Review

The base foundation stone mechanism of GETT has
successfully been accepted into the expert peer review process at the Royal Astronomical Society Montly Notices journal.  Awaiting outcome...

02

Empirical Evidence

There is a growing portfolio of the evidence of density
dependence using respected 3rd party publicly available databases, including ESA GAIA Milky Way and the SPARC galaxy data.  

03

QFT /EFT Compliance

Demonstrates a covariant, gauge-invariant EFT with Higgs-portal scalar coupling, preserving QFT symmetries, locality, consistency, and
correct low-energy recovery of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

04

Scope Applicability

There are acknowledged to be around 126 mass density
orders of magnitude, from the lowest density voids or virtually nothingness to the core of compact objects and ultimately the Big Bang - GETT has full universal scope.

05

Reconstructing Science

Any new theory must successfully complete a full historical correspondence series
reconstruction of all trusted science within its applicable domain limit. 

06

Solving Science Anomalies

Gravity's cause, inertia, dark energy, dark matter, the Hubble tension, the double-slit experiment, the early universe, singularities, black holes, etc. The list grows daily.

07

Falsifiability: Specific Means 

Every GETT paper proposes the tests, observations, and experiments which would falsify the theory, and render it "failed".  There are a range of low tech- low cost experiments available...

08

Distinct Prediction

As GETT estalishes the domain limit applicability of GR, then it must make specific, unique, measureable, and testable predictions beyond that regime: the extreme low- and extreme high-density regimes.

On the 4th December 2025, the GETT core foundation stone mechanism:  "The Gauge-Invariant Singlet Scalar Field and Its Higgs-Portal Coupling" was accepted into the RAS Monthly Notices peer review processes. 

Empirical evidence using publicly available data

ESA GAIA DR3
Milky Way

The onset of Milky Way anomalous vertical velocity is linked to density

Using a random 6-million-star sample from the ESA GAIA DR3 prgramme database, analysing the point of the onset of anomalous unexplained "dark matter" vertical velocity about the galactic mid-plane, shows statistical significance that the answer is density...

Milky Way
Mechanism Bridge

GETT establishes the mechanism bridge from theory to result

This work asks a specific causal question: whether the GETT scalar-field properties necessarily imply a density-triggered change in vertical dynamical response when applied to disk galaxies, such as the Milky Way.

SPARC
Galaxies

GETT density threshold is the onset of anomalous flat rotation speed in SPARC galaxy database onset

GETT scalar field coupling quantitatively reproduces the flat
rotation velocity of Milky Way–type galaxy through its intrinsic coupling modulation. The calculation confirms that a 25–35%
enhancement of the effective acceleration arises naturally from the density-dependent tension gradient of the Holland field Φ.

Validation of the Scalar Field within QFT

The programme establishes a coherent scalar-field framework across three complementary papers: the MNRAS “foundation stone” paper introduces a QFT-permitted, gauge-invariant singlet scalar coupled via the Higgs portal; the covariant EFT paper demonstrates a fully consistent action formulation preserving general covariance, local Lorentz invariance, and Standard Model gauge symmetry while recovering GR and SM in the appropriate limits; and the comparative study systematically evaluates existing scalar–tensor and modified-gravity models, showing that the density-modulated Higgs-portal construction represents a distinct and unified mechanism not captured in prior frameworks.

Reconstucting Science

The GETT Correspondence Series is has tso far achieved 100% success across the first challenges:
1.  Classical kinematics - Galileo, Kepler & Newton
2.  Newtonian Gravity & Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
3.  Einstein's Special Relativity - Lorentz invariance etc
4.1 . General Relativity - Spacetime metric, geometrisation etc
4.2  GR - Dynamics and Einstein field equations

GETT has shown that these are successful mid-density domain
limited mathematical constructs of the deeper GETT physical quantum reality.

A.I. Evaluation of GETT

Grok Expert Scores the Entire GETT portfolio vs. GR.  

Leading A.I. LLM Grok Expert reviewed all 45 published GETT documents, uploaded one by one, over a 7 day period.  With each
paper contributing to a scorecard of Grok's own design - how to rate, rank and score a new physicss theory against GR, and also GR with all of the theoretical mathematical "bolt-on" additions (Lambda, DE, DM etc).   GETT is performing exceedingly well.  ChatGPT5, Claude A.I., Copilot, Gemini, and the number of other leading A.I. LLMs, are reaching veery similar conclusions.
