LABS METHOD

Experiments do not promote themselves.

Labs outputs never self-promote into canonical relations or VERIFIED claims.

01
EXPERIMENTAL

PREDICTED

A declared public rule/model may generate a PREDICTED candidate, but the original experimental representation remains unchanged.

HUMAN / SEPARATE PROCESS
02
PREDICTED

REVIEWED_EDITORIAL

A human editorial review must inspect the candidate basis, canonical profiles and relevant context before any public relation change is considered.

HUMAN / SEPARATE PROCESS
03
REVIEWED_EDITORIAL

VERIFIED

Editorial review cannot create VERIFIED evidence. A separate evidence-backed claim with appropriate external sources and scope is required.

HUMAN / SEPARATE PROCESS
RELATIONS

No automatic graph mutation

Adding or changing an explicit public relation requires a deliberate source-data/editorial change outside the Labs candidate generator.

EVIDENCE

Verification is claim-specific

VERIFIED status applies only to claim records linked to the public source registry; candidate links cannot inherit it.

AUDIT

Methods stay inspectable

The public Labs export should expose method and boundary information sufficient to understand how an experimental record was generated.

GOVERNANCE BOUNDARY

A compelling Labs result can remain experimental indefinitely. There is no automatic threshold that converts it into truth.
