Recent observations uncovering apparent accelerative expansion of space have profoundly challenged our understanding of physics at its deepest foundations. The unknown mechanism driving this major anomaly - typically attributed to an exotic hypothetical "dark energy" pervading the vacuum - signals theoretical gaps at the intersections of quantum mechanics, gravitation, and cosmology that resist easy explanation.

As scientists, our highest principled calling must be tirelessly pursuing deeper truth about nature through applied empiricism, logic, and questioning of even dominant paradigms. This paper aims to contribute constructively to this spirit of sincere curiosity by outlining concrete avenues to rigorously test an alternative perspective theoretically grounded in known physics which derives cosmic acceleration from intrinsic universal mass evaporation over time.

While expansive theoretical problems remain reconciling this fundamentally geometric framework with robust constraints across all epochs, the model makes unique falsifiable predictions not expected in conventional cosmology. These include:

Precisely mapped redshift-distance relationship deviations and signatures in growth of large-scale structures distinguishable in upcoming high-precision galaxy surveys.
Measurable temporal drift over cosmic timescales in fundamental constants including the fine-structure parameter α and proton-electron mass ratio μ accessible to next-generation astrophysical spectroscopy instruments.
Gradual increases in galactic orbital velocities around shrinking central masses detectable in long-term radio astrometry mapping of rotation curves.
Shrinking time delays in flickering signals from gravitationally lensed quasars and supernovae due to weakening lensing mass over time.
Anomalies in cosmic microwave background angular power spectra from modified baryon acoustic oscillations and weak gravitational lensing due to intrinsic mass evaporation dynamics.
Violations of assumed decay lifetime constancy in radioactive isotopes, unstable resonances, and atomic clock frequencies measurable through ultra-precise quantum metrology.

Thorough observational investigation of these unique predictions can provide concrete empirical pathways to assess the validity, refine details, and potentially falsify universal mass evaporation hypotheses. While no panacea, guiding cosmology and fundamental physics more deeply by the light of data aligns with the spirit of sincere rational inquiry uniting us all.

Even evidence conclusively ruling out this particular perspective would significantly advance understanding by eliminating a viably-posed conjecture. Science ceaselessly progresses through earnest questioning, imagination, and dialectic engagement with nature through experiment. The established theoretical landscape assuredly remains incomplete. While major challenges persist reconciling universal mass evaporation with known physics, identifying decisive observational tests pushes forward the unfoldment.

By balancing open-mindedness to new plausibilities with skepticism of untested assumptions, we follow evidence wherever it leads, former certitudes notwithstanding. The hope is that outlining these proposed signatures, surveys, simulations and sensors will help enable thorough objective empirical scrutiny of a radically different intrinsic geometry framework. As we explore nature's mysteries, may our horizons stay limitless, our reason clear, and discoveries ever overturn presuppositions. This spirit of rational inquiry lights our way.
