An experimental protocol is proposed for direct laboratory testing of the hypothesis of a fundamental yield limit of the physical vacuum — a critical value of gravitational self-energy E_max ≈ 2.05 × 10−32 J at which the reversible elastic deformation of the vacuum (GR metric) transitions to irreversible plastic flow. The protocol is based on measurements of the free oscillation ringdown of the center of mass of levitated fused silica (SiO2) microspheres in a diamagnetic trap at cryogenic temperatures. A precision scanning grid of eight steps is constructed in the diameter range 1.0–5.0 μm with a critical point D_crit = 2.863 μm and critical mass M_crit = 27.04 pgThe central goal of the protocol is to investigate the birth of the arrow of time at the transition point.
