Pre-registration

The programme's theory-level registration is on the public registry. DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/P8CKQ, record at https://osf.io/p8ckq/: twenty-two conditional and severable propositions of the framework, registered on 8 September 2026 at version 1.100, and updated at version 1.102 on 13 September, at version 1.103 on 15 October 2026, which registered Laws IV and V, and at version 1.104 on 29 October 2026. Read the full registered text at the registration, and the propositions one by one at the twenty-two registered predictions.

Pre-registration means writing down what would prove you wrong before you look. The registration above was timestamped before any of its propositions was tested, so its predictions cannot be edited after a result and every one of them names the observation that would retire it.

The study registrations are a different object, and all but two are not yet filed. Each is a study design written to test a single proposition, prepared and populated on OSF as a private draft and awaiting the author's review and submission, except Unit 06 and Unit 83. Unit 06 was registered on OSF on 1 October 2026 and became public on 4 October 2026, at the end of OSF's approval period (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/RV2B5). Unit 83 was registered on OSF on 22 October 2026 and became public on 25 October 2026 (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/MN73W). The programme's rule is that only the author submits a registration. The state of each study unit, one row at a time and in the registration's own status vocabulary, is at the preregistration status page; the evidence column there reports no result until a registered test has an admissible result. Filing is not the same as dating: where a unit's row says PREREGISTERED BY TIMESTAMP, the design was lodged privately on OSF, dated 24 August 2026 in all but four of those rows, and its bytes anchored in Bitcoin block 965152 of 2 September 2026. The census that counts the study registrations, with the theory-level registration on its own line, is at the registered programme.
