A Falsification Protocol for Ze Theory

I present a Popperian falsification protocol for Ze theory, a framework that derives the Minkowski metric ds2 = Zs2 - k2*Zt2 from a dual-channel binary event counter. Five ordered kill criteria are defined: (Kill-0/1) the normalized Euclidean invariant I_norm = (Zs2+Zt2)/(N-1)2 must be stable across window sizes with std ~ 1/sqrt(N); (Kill-2) the Minkowski form must be preserved under the Ze Lorentz transform; (Kill-3) the Ze velocity limit k = / must be consistent within the same physical stream; (Kill-4) the Lorentz gamma-factor must be recoverable from counting data; (Kill-5) Ze-derived ds2 must agree with relativistic time dilation from atomic clocks or GPS. Kill-0 through Kill-4 are run numerically on N=10^6 event streams. Ze passes all four: I_norm is flat to <0.6% across window sizes, ds2 is preserved to <5x10^-13%, and gamma is recovered to <3x10^-13%. Non-stationary streams correctly fail Kill-1. Kill-5 remains open. Two errors in the original falsification theses are corrected: the invariant must be normalized by (N-1)2, and the kill condition must compare std(I_norm) to the 1/sqrt(N) baseline.
