New entries and improvements are welcome. This site’s credibility rests on strict epistemic tiering, so every substantive conclusion must be marked with its tier.
Process
- ProposeTopic noteSay what you want to write and which existing entries and claims it relates to.
- WriteFollow the style sheetUse the sample entry: abstract, definition and theorem boxes, references.
- ReviewEditorial checkEditors check the tier, grounds and sources of every conclusion.
- Publish and reviseKeep it currentSubstantive revisions are dated; important corrections are logged publicly.
Rules
- Whenever you state a substantive conclusion, give its epistemic tier (postulate, theorem, empirical, structural inference, interpretive, lexical, engineering, programmatic, or rejected).
- Follow the cascade rule: the tier of a conclusion = min(tier of the premises, rigour of the inference). Anything derived from an interpretive correspondence is at most interpretive.
- Never close an argument on numerical coincidence: equal numbers (64 = 64, 60 = 60) are not evidence; a structural reason is required.
- “This domain is Five-Phase” must pass the algebraic gate; report failures honestly and look for the right structure.
- Numbers must come from actual runs, never from assertion; distrust surprising results and cross-check them by an independent method.
- Use the corrected wording (see the editorial policy), never superseded phrasing from older drafts.
