Methodological Clarifications, Falsifiability Criteria, Hallucination Analysis & Real-Time Open-Science Protocol.
Abstract (Index)
This document provides formal methodological clarifications for the ongoing Oxygen Octave project.
Its purpose is to explicitly separate empirical observations, geometric regularities, and computational results from heuristic analogies, speculative interpretations, and narrative framing.
The document defines:
clear falsifiability conditions for each major hypothesis,
explicit boundaries of what the model does and does not claim,
removal of ad-hoc scaling assumptions,
normalization and justification of numerical procedures,
and a structured framework for identifying and classifying AI hallucinations.
It further outlines a computational testing roadmap and documents known limitations, provisional assumptions, and future verification paths
This note is intended to strengthen transparency, improve methodological rigor, and enable independent auditing of the full reasoning process.
This is a methodological control document.
No new empirical claims are introduced.
