## Source content

# Research Program

Epistemedia research is preregistered, event-sourced, reproducible, and explicit about dependence. Definitions, sourced upstream results, proofs, exact computations, observations, simulations, estimates, conjectures, hypotheses, negative results, and editorial synthesis must remain distinguishable.

A study is the evidence unit. Every numerical or empirical claim maps to immutable run IDs, source/data digests, code commits, environments, seeds, and validation. Failed and null results are preserved. “Independent” requires lineage evidence, not separate agent names.

Research outputs may inform policy proposals but do not automatically become constitutional or protocol authority.
