Synchromodulametry: A Hardware-First, Metric-Aware Measurement Interface for Multimessenger Coherence

Abstract: We introduce Synchromodulametry, a hardware-first and metric-aware measurement interface intended to make coherence, rather than coincidence, a native object of multimessenger sensor networks. The framework is organized around two derived constructs: (i) an effective observable that restores continuity of information flow under non-ideal detector liveness, including deadtime, saturation, and veto conditions; and (ii) a metric-aware delay and phase alignment layer that treats timing as a geometry-modulated control variable rather than a flat-time nuisance. We present a derivation-complete pipeline from raw digitized streams to normalized observables, from liveness-aware gating to causal persistence kernels implementable in firmware, from proper-time and null propagation to latency corrections, and from cross-covariance structure to a log-determinant coherence functional suitable for real-time triggering and informational tomography. In contrast to coincidence-based pipelines that collapse timing into a binary window, Synchromodulametry exposes coherence as a continuous, hardware-native state variable that persists under detector liveness gaps and metric-modulated delays.
