One question. Versioned tests. Honest blockers.

Questions and experiments are stages of one lifecycle. “Ready” means the data, falsifier, boring confound, verifier, and claim ceiling all exist. Today, zero tests meet that full bar.

Needs dataQ-BIOLOGY-RECEPTOR

Do receptor-family bridges survive exact 27-gene identity and provenance checks?

1 linked test · last triaged 2026-07-23

TEST-BIOLOGY-RECEPTOR-V1: test, blocker, and kill rule
Available data
Existing 27-gene ledgers; expression and true receptor-family universes are absent
Blocker
expression matrix and receptor-family annotations
Boring confound
gene-symbol aliases and mixed receptor families
Verifier
Deterministic provenance join plus expression/family-matched nulls with planted controls
Kill rule
Kill any bridge whose members lack exact source-backed receptor-family identity.
Claim ceiling
Dataset-specific provenance result; no biological mechanism.
Needs dataQ-BODY-BOUNDARY

Do G-LOC, syncope, coma, anesthesia, sleep-paralysis, and NDE data preserve trigger-specific body-boundary patterns?

1 linked test · last triaged 2026-07-23

TEST-BODY-BOUNDARY-V1: test, blocker, and kill rule
Available data
Some coded narratives; raw denominators incomplete
Blocker
raw denominators and independent labels
Boring confound
keyword extraction, selected case series, unequal denominators
Verifier
Blinded precision audit followed by diagnosis-matched proportion contrasts
Kill rule
Kill if validated labels or non-selected denominators remove the trigger contrast.
Claim ceiling
Trigger/corpus contrast only; no shared mechanism.
Needs dataQ-CORT-INTERMISSION

Do intermission features survive a source-traceable case-level matrix?

1 linked test · last triaged 2026-07-23

TEST-CORT-INTERMISSION-V1: test, blocker, and kill rule
Available data
Public CORT sources exist; case matrix incomplete
Blocker
case-level extraction
Boring confound
secondary summaries and selected memorable cases
Verifier
Double-entry source verification with blind feature coding
Kill rule
Kill if source-verifiable case rates do not reproduce the proposed subtype.
Claim ceiling
Documented-case pattern only.
Needs dataQ-DREAM-PRIVACY-LINKAGE

Does dream-report linkage generalize to independent open-set contributors?

1 linked test · last triaged 2026-07-23

TEST-DREAM-PRIVACY-LINKAGE-V1: test, blocker, and kill rule
Available data
DreamBank result only; external cohort absent
Blocker
independent consented cohort
Boring confound
recurring content, recorder/transcriber, closed-set advantage
Verifier
Open-set external cohort with contributor and recorder separation
Kill rule
Kill generalization if open-set linkage falls to the frozen null.
Claim ceiling
Current finding remains one-archive closed-set linkage.
Needs dataQ-HESSDALEN-ECOLOGY

Does the matched weather/Kp result replicate on direct station data and held-out dates?

1 linked test · last triaged 2026-07-23

TEST-HESSDALEN-ECOLOGY-V1: test, blocker, and kill rule
Available data
Current dated corpus; direct station coverage incomplete
Blocker
station logs and independent dates
Boring confound
reanalysis-grid error and observer opportunity
Verifier
Held-out case-crossover using station logs and observer-density controls
Kill rule
Kill extension if Kp elevation appears or weather differences vanish.
Claim ceiling
Current finding stays reanalysis-based observation ecology.
Needs dataQ-LZC-APERIODIC

Does the LZc effect remain absent after preregistered aperiodic control in new raw EEG?

1 linked test · last triaged 2026-07-23

TEST-LZC-APERIODIC-V1: test, blocker, and kill rule
Available data
Two retrospective datasets; prospective replication absent
Blocker
independent raw EEG
Boring confound
spectral slope, power, state mixing, and small subjects
Verifier
Person-level preregistered mixed model with spectral-surrogate comparison
Kill rule
Falsify the current claim if a powered drug effect survives slope control.
Claim ceiling
Current claim remains two-dataset measurement result.
Needs dataQ-NDE-LIFE-REVIEW

Is the reported life-review/deceased-relative subtype reproducible from validated NDE rows?

1 linked test · last triaged 2026-07-23

TEST-NDE-LIFE-REVIEW-V1: test, blocker, and kill rule
Available data
Claim summary exists; validated row packet not found
Blocker
recover coded rows
Boring confound
generated labels and denominator loss
Verifier
Blind label validation plus exact denominator recomputation
Kill rule
Kill if 58.14% and 16.279% cannot be reproduced on validated labels.
Claim ceiling
Within-archive co-occurrence only.
