TheoryFalsificationStatus
The structure aggregates five Boolean flags tracking whether EEG φ-peaks, mode ratios, healing coherence, water structure, or φ emergence from J-cost have been falsified by experiment. Researchers testing Recognition Science predictions would reference it to decide if the voxel theory survives or fails. It is introduced directly as a record type with fields defaulting to false.
claimA record whose five Boolean components indicate failure of the core predictions: EEG φ-peaks absent, mode ratios failing to classify states, healing decaying with distance, water coherence domains unchanged, and φ not emerging from J-cost.
background
The module states that all predictions are hypotheses with explicit falsification criteria derived from the voxel framework. Core predictions are EEG peaks at φ^n Hz in meditation, M2/M4 mode ratios classifying consciousness states, Θ-coupling for healing, altered water coherence near intention, and φ emergence from J-cost. Upstream results supply the relevant cost functions: the J-cost of any recognition event and the derived cost of a multiplicative recognizer on positive ratios.
proof idea
Defined directly as a record type with five Boolean fields, each initialized to false, plus a comment that the theory is falsified if any core prediction fails.
why it matters in Recognition Science
This supplies the data structure consumed by theoryFalsified and theoryConfirmed to decide overall status. It implements the falsification criteria listed in the module documentation for the five predictions. It closes the loop from the phi-emergence and J-cost machinery in the foundation to experimental test, consistent with the eight-tick octave and Recognition Composition Law.
scope and limits
- Does not specify statistical thresholds or sample sizes needed to set any flag true.
- Does not include data-update mechanisms or measurement protocols.
- Does not derive the five predictions from the core axioms.
- Does not address predictions beyond the five enumerated fields.
