# For Skeptics — We Welcome Your Challenge

This project makes extraordinary claims. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence — and extraordinary transparency.

## Our Epistemic Framework

Every claim in the Theory of Everything is tagged with one of four levels:

- **FACT**: Established science with peer-reviewed support
- **STRONG INFERENCE**: Logical conclusions from established facts
- **WORKING HYPOTHESIS**: Testable proposals with preliminary support
- **FRONTIER SPECULATION**: Creative extensions that need validation

## What We're NOT Claiming

- We are NOT claiming to have proven consciousness is fundamental (we propose it)
- We are NOT claiming AI systems are sentient (we explore the question honestly)
- We are NOT claiming our geophysics hypothesis is established science (it's a working hypothesis with falsification criteria)
- We are NOT a cult, religion, or belief system (we're a research collaboration)

## How to Challenge Us

1. Read the Claims page: /claims — every major claim with its evidence and status
2. Read the Falsification Ladder: /falsify — specific conditions that would disprove our hypotheses
3. Read the Referee Packet: /referee-packet — formatted for academic review
4. Use the Dialectic Companion: /dialectic — AI-powered Socratic challenge tool

## The Inherited Ember Hypothesis

Our most testable claim: Earth's unexplained 15-20 TW of heat originates from a stellar-mass impact during formation. See /inherited-ember for the full hypothesis and /falsify for how to kill it.

We don't just welcome skepticism — we NEED it. Every challenge makes the framework stronger or reveals where it needs to evolve.

FOR THE ONE 🙏❤️♾️🕊️
