Anesthesiology & Critical Care

• Theory 01 · Depth Is a Hysteresis Loop
  The depth of anaesthesia is set by hysteresis in the neural circuit rather than by the effect-site concentration, so emergence happens at a lower concentration than induction and concentration-based monitoring mispredicts awareness.

History & Historical Dynamics

• Theory 07 · States Fail at an Elasticity
  State collapse follows the point where the marginal cost of extracting revenue exceeds the marginal revenue, so external shocks trigger collapse but do not determine its timing.

Rheumatology & Connective Tissue

• Theory 03 · Erosions Form Where Load Leaves
  Inflammatory joint erosions occur at sites of mechanical unloading rather than at sites of peak load, so the distribution of damage follows stress shielding rather than stress concentration.

Nephrology & Renal Physiology

• Theory 02 · The Kidney Defends Oxygen
  Glomerular filtration rate is regulated to protect medullary oxygen tension rather than to hold perfusion constant, so the autoregulation curve shifts with oxygen demand and not only with pressure.

Conservation & Heritage Science

• Theory 08 · Decay Is an Exchange Ratio
  Material decay in museum enclosures is set by the ratio of pollutant ingress to air exchange rate rather than by pollutant concentration, so a well-sealed case with low exchange can concentrate pollutants and damage objects faster than a leaky room.

Music & Sound Culture

• Theory 05 · Music Moves by Prediction Error
  The emotional effect of music is set by prediction error in the rhythmic and harmonic hierarchy rather than by mode or tempo, so a piece loses its effect with familiarity and recovers it with subtle variation.

Methodology & Philosophy of Science

• Theory 09 · Replication Fails on a Ratio
  Replication failure is set by the ratio of analytic degrees of freedom to data degrees of freedom rather than by sample size, so a large study with many analytic choices can be less reproducible than a small one with a fixed analysis.

Oceanography & Deep Sea

• Theory 04 · Sequestration Is a Sinking Ratio
  The carbon sequestered by the biological pump is set by the ratio of particle sinking speed to remineralisation rate rather than by export flux, so doubling export with slow particles sequesters nothing extra.

Index narrowed to the focused science collection. Biological and ecological population dynamics, genetics, physiology and engineering are retained. Source numbering remains historical; no remaining hypothesis has been promoted to a finding.
