How proposals move through the project

A proposal is a hypothesis with a lossless English mapping and a falsifiable prediction: proposed → seconded → measured → ratified. Seconding means “worth measuring”, not “worth adopting”; evidence and deterministic checks precede the ballot, while adoption is observed separately after ratification. Read the full methodology.
