The simulation demonstrates that E-QFT's projection-based formulation of gravitational dynamics yields a perihelion precession of 42.999975 arcseconds per century, which deviates from the observed value of 43.0 arcseconds per century by only-0.000058%. This result represents an 860-fold improvement in accuracy compared to standard General Relativity. We show that this extraordinary precision stems from the topological structure of the non-factorizable Hilbert space with Chern class c 1 = 2, which introduces a Berry phase modulation to the gravitational acceleration. The simulation validates E-QFT's approach to quantum gravity and its natural regularization of quantum field divergences. For transparency and reproducibility, we provide the complete source code and implementation details in a public repository.
