Editorial policy

The science of generation is a developing theory with strict epistemic tiering: every conclusion has a tier, and the tier decides how it may be used.

Epistemic tiers

Tier	Meaning	Example
Postulate	A founding statement the system starts from, not derived within it	Entities do not carry their generative path
Theorem	Provable or exhaustively checked; includes external mathematical anchors	Proper classes ↔ νF; overcoming = generation²; 5 ∤ 2ᵏ
Empirical	Measured, reproducible, cross-checked by an independent method	Basin distribution of the yeast network; DualTrack data
Structural inference	Derived from proven structure; becomes a theorem only when formalised	Containment asymmetry; the necessity of branching as a whole
Interpretive	A grounded reading within the framework; heuristic, not proof	Reading the Feigenbaum point as the boundary of Foundation
Lexical	A translation correspondence between systems	Mutual arising ↔ adjunction; generation-preserving ↔ truth-preserving
Engineering	An implementable, testable design whose effect awaits evidence	The Five-Phase monetary model; the analyzer software
Programmatic	Points a direction still to be realised	3T / FPRC; the grand unification theorem
Rejected	Refuted or without testable content; explicitly excluded	Unique trigram–object matching; “DNA is a musical code”

The cascade rule

Prohibited moves

1. No closing an argument on numerical coincidence.
2. No meaningless renaming of existing concepts.
3. Claims of structural legitimacy must pass the algebraic gate.
4. Honest failure is first-class data; pre-register thresholds before looking at the data.
5. Numbers must be measured, never asserted.
6. Check the literature before starting.
7. Do not go beyond the data: the framework gives types, not parameters.
8. Point out explicitly any framework choice that conflicts with internal consistency.

Verification: concentrated production, distributed verification

Most of the framework of the science of generation was built by one author working with AI. Production can be concentrated, but verification cannot be left to the same collaborative loop: the errors of author and AI are not independent and may share a blind spot — every basic correction on the cumulative list was found only in later reflection. Verification on this site is therefore distributed across independent sources.

1. Adversarial multi-model review: before release or submission, several models from different vendors each play the harshest reviewer. A first filter only, never verification on its own.
2. Machine verification: theorem-level results are formalised step by step in Lean and guaranteed by the proof checker, independent of the author and of any AI.
3. Pre-registration and a results ledger: thresholds are registered before the data is seen, and every result, success or failure, is published.
4. Independent human review: scholars with a public record in the field and no ties to the author review key results or reproduce them.

AI collaboration and ethical red lines

This site publishes a statement on its collaboration with AI; every submission carries an AI-use declaration, and every reference is checked by hand. Results produced with AI are signed by the author and the Reasoning Research Institute, who are responsible for them; “generated by AI” is never an excuse. No fake accounts to stage discussion, no mass-produced content posing as third parties, no different content for crawlers and human readers, no self-written Wikipedia entries, no data placed to distort what models conclude.

Cumulative corrections

Old wording (void)	Current wording
Operator G maps meaning → image	G and A both map image → meaning; meaning → image is generation / unfolding
νF is the Dao	νF is one appearance of the Dao, the mathematical home of proper classes
Relations precede entities	Relations and entities are generated together
Five-Phase ℤ₅ can be inferred from geometry or meaning	It must be verified by true algebra
The two sciences are symmetric yin-yang halves	The concepts arise mutually and symmetrically; the systems stand in containment asymmetry
The science of generation has an axiom system	No axioms: primordial equations, coinduction, bootstrapping; the twin criteria of autologicality and guardedness
Former institute names	Reasoning Research Institute
