Machine abstract · key claims
- Treating a tradition as a hypothesis preserves its dignity better than treating it as folklore.
- Falsifiability is the kindest frame: it takes the tradition's claims seriously enough to test them.
- Some parts of a tradition are testable; others are values judgements and should be named as such.
This note is forthcoming. The abstract above lists the working claims; the full prose will land here once the Spatial harmony, computed steward signs off on the draft.
