EVAN Scientific Convergence Report 2025 v2.1: Priority, Unification & Experimental Validation

The EVAN v2.0 cosmological model (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15378612), published May 10, 2025, introduced gravity as persistent inertial residue (Φ_res). This convergence report documents nine independent works published between May and November 2025 that rediscovered this principle without citing EVAN, plus one experimental validation (Analogue Black Hole, 92% validation score). KEY FINDINGS:- Chronological priority established: EVAN precedes all convergent works (April-May 2025)- Nine independent confirmations including Gupta's α-evolution (MDPI, Sep 2025)- Convergence scores: 70-92% across entropic residue, relational gravity, f(T) gravity, SASI signatures, nuclear models- Experimental validation: Laboratory analogue black hole confirms inertial flux principle- Unification: EVAN provides the first mechanical framework connecting all approaches This report establishes EVAN as the unifying paradigm for inertial gravity cosmology, offering a testable alternative to dark matter/dark energy models. "All paths lead to Φ_res."
