Scientific Discovery

Programmatic hypothesis generation subject to reproducible verification.

Current scope

Investigating whether verified mutation and provenance discipline can shape a research loop in domains where the verifier is a simulation, experimental protocol, or replay corpus.

Explicitly out of scope
  • No wet-lab or physical-experiment integration is planned.
  • This is not a claim of scientific autonomy — human interpretation stays in the loop.
Research strands informing this scope

Scientific integrity protocol

Falsification-first methodology and honest-limitations clauses are already the norm for Prodia's own experiments.

Runtime verification methodology

The verifier becomes domain-specific (simulation, corpus, protocol) but the gate criteria are preserved.

Open questions
  • What qualifies as a signed dossier when the verifier is a physical protocol?
  • How is reproducibility measured when the substrate is stochastic?
