IF pattern P appears in independent domains, THEN N exists.\n2. IF tier=T0 and independence=1.0, THEN strength=10.\n3. IF tier=T1 and independence=1.0, THEN strength=8.\n4.

IF FEP minimizes surprise and criticality maximizes sensitivity, THEN D2 exists.\n17. IF systems extremize action and emergence produces new minima, THEN D3 exists.\n18.

IF engineering produces exponential scaling and scale invariance requires power-law, THEN D5 exists.\n\n## The Falsifier\n\n1. Derivation independence collapses for any load-bearing node.\n2. A single framework subsumes all nodes with no remainder.\n3. Ostrom's principles fail in controlled studies.\n4. Information erasure falls below the Landauer bound.\n5. All fundamental constants derive from first principles.\n\n## The Uncertainty\n\n1. FEP and criticality: contradiction or subsumption?\n2. Emergence and least action: reducible or irreducible?\n3. Physical laws: necessary or contingent?\n4. Branching: fractal or optimal?\n5. Selection: exhaustive of apparent purpose?\n","ranking":"safety-first (interaction_risk/limitations), then quote-gated effective_weight","claims":[],"sources":[],"anecdotal_sources":[],"scientific_sources":[],"user_reports":[],"related_articles":[],"question_graph":{"slug":"grain-the-convergence-catalogue","questions":[],"evidence":[],"edges":[],"counts":{"questions":0,"evidence":0,"edges":0}},"honesty":{"active_claims":0,"retracted_claims":0,"cut_claims":0,"challenges":0,"scrub_events":0,"note":"Retracted/cut claims stay on ledger but are excluded from ask unless ?include_inactive=1"},"counts":{"claims":0,"claims_total":0,"sources":0,"anecdotal":0,"scientific":0,"user_reports":0,"questions":0,"evidence_ingests":0}}
