experiments:
- id: em-test-parallel-moving-charges
  name: Parallel moving charges
  category: REINTERPRETED
  observed: No new two-charge data or apparatus-response fit is included.
  asd: LVE plus the true inverse-square law gives FT/F₀=1−β² and a magnetic correction −β²F₀.
  established: The standard co-moving transverse laboratory total force is F₀/γ; the leading low-speed magnetic
    coefficient agrees.
  numerical_difference: Differently defined total forces scale differently; Fr=F₀/γ matches numerically. Reading
    definitions must be aligned.
  interpretation_difference: True-space interaction precedes transverse field representation.
  distinguishes: Undetermined; matching leading magnetic terms settles neither total-force degeneracy nor discrimination.
  current_status: Derivation complete within the configuration; observational mapping open.
  evidence_status: UNTESTED
  required_precision: To be determined from apparatus, background velocity and readout mapping; no uncalculated
    threshold is assigned.
  source_reference: Chapter 3 / 第三章 · §I.1–4; (3.3)–(3.10)
- id: em-test-current-current-force
  name: Current–current force
  category: REPRODUCED
  observed: Known long straight steady-wire behavior is the comparison target; no new experimental replication here.
  asd: The chosen effective sources and coupling give F/L=μ₀I₁I₂/(2πd).
  established: Parallel currents attract and antiparallel currents repel, with the same long-wire formula.
  numerical_difference: No numerical difference within the same effective model and conditions.
  interpretation_difference: True-space interaction precedes transverse field representation.
  distinguishes: Not distinguishing here; a microscopic multicomponent derivation is a separate closure task.
  current_status: Mathematical reproduction in the effective model; microscopic coarse graining remains open.
  evidence_status: CONSISTENT
  required_precision: No nonzero ASD difference is defined, so no discriminatory precision is assigned.

- id: em-test-moving-charge-field
  name: High-speed moving-charge field
  category: POTENTIALLY DISCRIMINATING
  observed: Ota et al. published electro-optic spatiotemporal field measurements; raw observations have not been
    imported here.
  asd: Candidate reconstructions and flux checked; high-speed source and crystal-response mapping incomplete.
  established: The paper provides a standard retarded-potential comparison with bunch and detector conditions.
  numerical_difference: No closed quantitative ASD difference is available.
  interpretation_difference: True-space interaction precedes transverse field representation.
  distinguishes: Potential direction, not present validation.
  current_status: CASE STUDY — OPEN; complete comparison pending.
  evidence_status: UNTESTED
  required_precision: Determined by detector response, beam properties and calibration uncertainties.

- id: em-test-synchrotron-orbit
  name: Synchrotron orbit
  category: POTENTIALLY DISCRIMINATING
  observed: Curvature, field calibration and beam momentum are target quantities; no new measured dataset is selected.
  asd: Chapter 2 supplies mechanical momentum; Chapter 3 requires a common source field, response and coordinate
    mapping.
  established: For a specified transverse magnetic field and circular orbit neglecting radiative loss, p=|q|BR.
  numerical_difference: No nondegenerate difference derived; an additional γ factor is not imposed as an established
    correction.
  interpretation_difference: True-space interaction precedes transverse field representation.
  distinguishes: Pending calculation; kinematic scaling alone does not decide.
  current_status: EVALUATE; an apparatus-specific orbit model remains incomplete.
  evidence_status: UNTESTED
  required_precision: To be calculated after field, trajectory, momentum and radiation treatment are aligned.
  source_reference: Chapter 3 / 第三章 · §I.3, §III, §VIII.3; Chapter 2 momentum
- id: em-test-directional-electrostatics
  name: Directional electrostatic test
  category: POTENTIALLY DISCRIMINATING
  observed: Research proposal; no measurements in this module.
  asd: Investigate whether directional interactions leave a readout residual; not a calibrated prediction.
  established: Compute the standard expectation for the same shielding, grounding, mechanics and sources; do not
    assume every real apparatus has zero signal.
  numerical_difference: Amplitude, direction and background-velocity mapping undetermined.
  interpretation_difference: True-space interaction precedes transverse field representation.
  distinguishes: Only a nonzero measurable difference for the same apparatus can decide.

## Evidence Scope

This matrix separates mathematical reproduction in a specified model, physical interpretation of known phenomena and discriminating proposals requiring source and apparatus calculations. **Website construction is not counted as new experimental validation.** The REPRODUCED category identifies a formula reproduced within an effective model; observational evidence has a separate label.

## From Calculation to Evidence

First fix a common measurand, source parameters, boundaries and background velocity. Calculate ASD and standard-model responses separately and use the same detector calibration and uncertainty budget. Name physical force, coordinate generalized force and instrument signal separately. Compare magnetic terms and total forces at the same approximation order.

The [Ota high-γ case](/en/tests/case-studies/high-gamma-charge-field) remains open research. Directional electrostatics and synchrotron orbits are task entries, not established predictions with calculated amplitudes and sensitivity budgets. See [Ota et al. (2022)](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-022-01767-w) for the experiment and [Fitzpatrick](https://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/jk1/Electromagnetism/node151.html) for the standard moving-charge comparison. Neither supplies hidden premises to the ASD derivation.

## Review and Source

<div id="review-notes" />

This matrix follows the current Chapter 3. Special high-speed corrections, a unique synchrotron cone, the Schwinger limit, anomalous magnetic moments and strong-field QED topics are not established predictions here.
