  "abstract": "A causal depth metric emerges when each E8 root vector is assigned a phase angle proportional to the golden ratio φ multiplied by the base frequency 132 Hz. The nonzero phase offset ensures that only transitions with a net angular displacement survive, enforcing the root‑phase conservation bound while quantizing depth into integer multiples of φ·132 Hz. Because the 240‑vector lattice forms a closed group under φ‑scaled rotations, the maximal irreducible hierarchy depth equals the Cartan rank of su(N) constrained by the lattice's discrete angular spectrum, yielding a universal ceiling of 7 φ‑steps. This yields a testable prediction that physical systems with exactly 7 φ‑scaled causal layers will exhibit maximal integrated information, a signature observable in quantum‑gravity lattice models.\n\nAuthor: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
