H-001..H-005 with explicit falsification conditions, E-001..E-003, the Concept-Implementation Fitness Map, findings log and ID convention. Plain files, no tooling. - fitness map corrects Improvement Loop section 13 levels downward: nothing exceeds C1 without implementation - H-005 (Energy) dormant by decision - events captured, no scoring written - H-001 gets a genuine control arm so the semantic-action thesis is not trivially true - E-003 added: deliberately attacks the safety boundary rather than only sampling benign cases Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Assistant: claude-code Assistant-Model: opus Assistant-Process: 1629012@bnt-lap001 Assistant-Session: 78d4fb13-8a1e-474b-87a3-9b9261c49a39

# Research Control Plane
|
|
|
|
Deliberately small. This directory exists so that claims about test-driver can be
|
|
falsified rather than accumulated. It is plain files — no CLI, no schema, no
|
|
tooling — until there are enough readings to justify tooling.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
research/
|
|
├── hypotheses/ H-NNN — a claim with a falsification condition
|
|
├── experiments/ E-NNN — a planned or executed test of a hypothesis
|
|
├── findings/ F-NNNN — findings about test-driver itself
|
|
├── concepts/ the Concept ↔ Implementation Fitness Map
|
|
└── decisions/ pointers to decisions recorded in State Hub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Identifier convention
|
|
|
|
| Prefix | Scope | Example |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `H-NNN` | Hypothesis | `H-001` |
|
|
| `E-NNN` | Experiment | `E-001` |
|
|
| `F-NNNN` | Framework Finding | `F-0001` |
|
|
| `C-<slug>` | Concept in the fitness map | `C-actor-isolation` |
|
|
| `D-NN` | Decision, scoped to its design note | `D-07` |
|
|
| `TD-WP-NNNN-TNN` | Workplan task (State Hub) | `TD-WP-0002-T04` |
|
|
|
|
Identifiers are stable and never reused. A rejected hypothesis keeps its number.
|
|
|
|
## Hypothesis lifecycle
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PROPOSED → EXPERIMENTING → SUPPORTED → PRACTICALLY_VALIDATED → ARCHITECTURAL
|
|
└──────→ REJECTED
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A hypothesis may be reopened if later evidence contradicts it. Reopening is
|
|
recorded in the file, not by creating a new identifier.
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
1. **Every hypothesis states what would falsify it**, in terms of an observable
|
|
outcome, before any experiment runs. A hypothesis with no falsification
|
|
condition is an opinion.
|
|
2. **Concepts with no supporting evidence are marked as such**, not quietly
|
|
retained. The fitness map is expected to contain unsupported entries; hiding
|
|
them defeats its purpose.
|
|
3. **Subtraction counts as progress.** A rejected hypothesis or a removed
|
|
abstraction is a result, not a setback.
