# Incoprea Theory — 24 original scientific theories

Built 30 October 2026. Self-contained: relative links, inline CSS, no external assets.

**These are hypotheses, not findings.** Each begins from published evidence, proposes a
causal explanation, commits to three numbered predictions, and states the result that would
refute it. None is peer reviewed. Several are likely to be wrong, which is the format.

## Anatomy of an entry

1. **The claim** — one sentence, boxed, stating the causal proposition.
2. **The evidence** — published results, cited, that the theory must explain.
3. **The tension** — what the current explanation cannot absorb.
4. **The theory** — the mechanism, in enough detail to argue with.
5. **What this is not** — the nearest existing idea and how this differs.
6. **Predictions** — three numbered commitments, each falsifiable.
7. **What would refute it** — the cheapest decisive result.
8. **What it would change** — the consequence if it survives.

## Honest limitations

- Evidence is cited but not re-analysed. Some sources are preprints or institutional
  releases rather than peer-reviewed papers, and are labelled accordingly.
- Several theories are extensions of existing programmes rather than ex nihilo inventions.
  The originality claimed is in the causal ordering and the discriminating prediction.
- Predictions are qualitative or order-of-magnitude. None has been costed or powered.
- The format rewards sharpness; a specialist will find simplifications in every entry.
