Experiments held to a validation protocol.

Personal research where a claim has to survive ablation and reproduce bit-for-bit before it is allowed to be true.

Petri: a deterministic simulation trap with a hard validation protocol

Test whether the precursors of a complex ability can appear under ecological pressure alone, with claims drawn from internal probes, not behavior.
