If a competing model explains the same data with equal or greater predictive accuracy, fewer parameters, and a different causal mechanism, our model should be replaced. Status: Not challenged.

Final Audit

Every page ends with the same three-part check: what we got right, what we overstated, and what we got wrong.

Epistemic covenant: we present these claims as openly, fairly, and truthfully as we can. The evidence can be checked, the mechanisms can be challenged, the proof burden is named. Where the work moves from how the science behaves to why it means something, the choice is stated. We think the pattern is worth believing, but we will not hide where faith begins.

What We Got Right

  • Load-bearing claims, clear definitions, and the parts that clearly survived the check.

What We Overstated

  • Strong direction, but the language ran ahead of the evidence or the proof.

What We Got Wrong

  • Claims that need correction, tightening, or weaker formulation.
