**300 hypotheses · 30 refined dossiers · 3 pursued to result**

scientific hypotheses, refine the strongest 30 into research dossiers, and pursue the best 3 to a
defensible mathematical or computational result.

## The three Phase III results

| | Hypothesis | Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| **C1** | Transport precision in multi-terminal conductors | The thermodynamic uncertainty relation is the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality in the Onsager metric; the proposed slack law is **refuted** by an explicit counterexample family; a genuine violation exists in the sub-Poissonian thermal regime | Partial result: proof + refutation + counterexample |
| **C2** | Stroboscopic sampling of entropy production | Sampling at $\Delta = n\pi/\Omega$ makes the reconstructed drift a scalar, so the current loses its rotational part **exactly** while the true entropy production is $4\Omega^2/\gamma$ | Formal proof (model-specific) + simulation |
| **C3** | Mode counting in a square cavity | Distinct resonances are arithmetically suppressed: $N_{\rm dist}/N_{\rm tot} \sim (4K/\pi)(\ln X)^{-1/2} \to 0$, with the Landau–Ramanujan constant $K$ recovered numerically and an exact control that restores the ratio to 1.00000 | Formal proof + computation to $X = 10^7$ |

Two of the three candidates were **partly wrong**, and the reports say so. Phase II did the same to
the hypothesis set: all 30 selected entries were narrowed, and **at least 15 had their headline
mechanism or central claim withdrawn or corrected** — see the corrections ledger in
`02_PHASE_II_REFINED_30/PHASE_II_COMPLETE.md`.

## How the work was done

**Phase I.** Thirty thematic batches of ten hypotheses, each batch constrained to a distinct
scientific cluster and required to join at least four of its entries to a field that does not
normally meet that cluster. Every entry uses a fixed seven-part form (title, hypothesis, connection,
evidence, prediction, uncertainty, classification) with source-tier tags `[EST]` / `[OBS]` / `[SUG]`
so that established results, published observation classes and suggested-but-unexamined sources are
never conflated. No fabricated citations, DOIs or measurements appear anywhere; every number is a
named constant or a labelled estimate.

**Phase II.** Forty finalists were scored blind by two independent adversarial panels on mechanism,
novelty, falsifiability, mathematical tractability, evidence availability and significance. The
panels flagged 21 of 40 — a rate that indicates the screen worked. Their objections are recorded in
`SELECTION.md`, including five hypotheses rejected outright as internally inconsistent or
textbook. Thirty dossiers were then written to a twelve-section contract that required each author
to narrow the claim, give it an equation and a dimensionless group, and confront the strongest
competing explanation.

**Phase III.** Three candidates were pursued to explicit statuses. Each report contains the exact
claim, its foundations, the derivation, an independent numerical check, a stress test, and an
honest outcome. All three computations are reproducible from the included scripts.

## What is genuinely new here

The value of the submission is not that 300 ideas were produced. It is that:

1. **The screening is documented and adversarial.** Rejections, corrections and refutations are
   recorded rather than filtered out. Fifteen of thirty refined hypotheses had their central claim
   repaired or withdrawn during refinement.
2. **Three results are exact rather than suggestive.** A proof that the TUR is Cauchy–Schwarz; a
   proof that a specific sampling period erases dissipation identically; a proof that a square
   cavity's resolvable spectrum is deficient by an arithmetic factor that grows without bound.
3. **Each Phase III result comes with a built-in null.** Single-terminal driving saturates the
   transport bound; an irrational squared aspect ratio restores the mode count to exactly 1; the
   rotational fraction is machine-zero at half-integer periods. Predictions with a control that can
   fail are worth more than predictions without one.

## Reproducing the computations

```bash
cd "03_PHASE_III_DEEP/C1_transport_precision" && ../../04_SUPPORTING/.venv/bin/python c1_tur.py
cd "../C2_stroboscopic_null"                 && ../../04_SUPPORTING/.venv/bin/python c2_strobe.py
cd "../C3_mode_counting"                     && ../../04_SUPPORTING/.venv/bin/python c3_weyl.py
```

Rebuild the Phase I and Phase II master documents:

```bash
cd 04_SUPPORTING && .venv/bin/python build_phase1.py
cd ../02_PHASE_II_REFINED_30 && ../../04_SUPPORTING/.venv/bin/python build_phase2.py
```

All scripts are deterministic (fixed seeds) and depend only on numpy.

## Known limitations, stated plainly

- **Phase I is idea generation, not evidence.** The entries are mechanistic proposals. Their
  `[OBS]` tags name classes of observation, not verified datasets; a specialist would need to check
  each against the literature before treating it as prior art.
- **Phase II refuted a lot.** Several selected hypotheses were wrong in their headline claim
  (H062, H124, H274, H285, H296) or in their proposed mechanism (H081, H227, H234, H241, H267).
  This is documented, not hidden, and it is the most useful part of the refinement.
- **The three Phase III results are model results.** C2 and C3 are proved inside explicitly stated
  models; C1 is proved under standard linear-response assumptions. None is a claim about nature.
- **C3's physical claim is open.** The counting deficit is mathematical; whether it explains
  measured mode deficits in real cavities requires the resolution-filtered calculation, which is
  specified but not done.
