# Incoprea Frontier — 24 original ideas from 2026 frontier science

Built 30 October 2026. Self-contained: relative links, inline CSS, no external fonts, images or scripts.

**This is an idea book, not a research paper.** Each entry cites real published work from
2025-2026, then makes an argument that goes beyond it. Every entry ends with the experiment
that would settle it and the result that would kill it. Nothing here is peer reviewed.

## Structure of an entry

1. **What changed** — two or three dated 2026 results, each linked.
2. **The gap** — what those results leave undone.
3. **The idea** — the proposal, in enough detail to argue with.
4. **Why now** — the enabling conditions that did not exist two years ago.
5. **The decisive test** — do this / success looks like / this kills it.
6. **What would break it** — the three failure modes that worry me most.
7. **If it works** — the consequence.
8. **Read the frontier** — every source, numbered, with full URLs.

## Honest limitations

- Sources are linked but not independently replicated. Several are preprints or institutional
  announcements rather than peer-reviewed papers, and are labelled as reported.
- The proposed experiments are sketches. None has been costed, powered or ethically reviewed.
- The ideas are syntheses across fields; a specialist will find each one naive in places.
  That is what a cross-disciplinary idea book is for.
- No idea here is a recommendation to invest, publish, or act on. They are hypotheses.

## Rebuilding

`build/` contains the source: `data_1.py`, `data_2.py`, `data_3.py` (the 24 entries) and
`build.py` (the renderer). Run `python3 build.py` to regenerate `out/`.
