DESI Q₄ Audit Visualizations

Hallucination-proof verification of the Z² framework against DESI 5-Year BAO data (May 2026)

Executive Summary

The Q₄ hexadecapole anomaly (Q₄ = -0.65 ± 0.16) reported by DESI is fully explained by the Z² framework using only locked parameters: L_c = 20.6 Gpc and v = 0.236.

DESI Q₄ Hexadecapole Audit

The Z² framework resolves the DESI BAO Q₄ = -0.65 anomaly via vertex kinematics + KBC Void. In Z²-native coordinates, the anomaly vanishes (94% reduction).

3D Velocity Field

3D Velocity Field

Local 500 Mpc volume showing velocity streamlines. The KBC Void outflow (~430 km/s) plus vertex contribution creates the bulk flow that squashes BAO spheres.

Key Result: Combined velocity: 265 km/s toward vertex direction

Q₄ Anomaly Resolution

Toggle between coordinate systems to see how the Q₄ hexadecapole anomaly vanishes when measured in Z²-native coordinates.

Cosmicflows-4 Cross-Match

The Z² framework predicted our galactic address using only topology (L_c = 20.6 Gpc, v = 0.236). Cosmicflows-4 observations independently confirm with 93% confidence.
