Questions before conclusions.
An appealing explanation is a starting point for investigation, not proof.
Reconstruct
Map components, geometry, relationships, boundaries, and constraints.
Compare
Develop competing explanations and identify what would distinguish them.
Verify
Trace claims to appropriate sources and make limitations visible.
Challenge
Seek counterevidence, test assumptions, and revise when contradicted.
Publish Carefully
Release only deliberately approved material with clear status and attribution.
Research integrity & AI
AI can support organization, comparison, drafting, and critique, but it is not an independent source of truth. Human judgment, source checking, and release approval remain essential.
Scope: This is a statement of research practices—not a peer-reviewed study or validation of any individual scientific hypothesis.
