Research/ai capabilitiesA Universal Bimodal Drift-Rate Ratio in Repeating Fast Radio BurstsA pre-registered cross-source drift-rate ratio in repeating FRBs. CoV 3.8% across 4 sources. F4 null Monte Carlo p ≤ 5 × 10⁻⁴.Blankline ResearchApril 30, 202619 min readRead PaperPDFRead OnlineAcross four independent repeating fast radio burst sources — observed by different telescopes, reduced by different groups — the adjacent drift-rate mode ratio recurs at 2.456 ± 0.094 (cross-source scatter 3.8%). The framework was locked on 26 April 2026 before either of the two largest validating catalogs was inspected, and survived a Monte Carlo unimodal-null falsification test at empirical p ≤ 5 × 10⁻⁴.
