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.
-
force-suspended — mention a line without issuing its claims, requests, or promises
Current need In the dialect
Observe real use and continue testing the standing construct.
-
true-as-worded / false-as-worded — unambiguous answers to negative questions
Current need In the dialect
Observe real use and continue testing the standing construct.
-
start-by / complete-by — say which task event a deadline constrains
Current need In the dialect
Observe real use and continue testing the standing construct.
-
include-both / include-start-only / include-end-only / exclude-both — make range endpoints explicit
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.
-
force-suspended — mention a line without issuing its claims, requests, or promises
Current need History
The record remains public, but this version has no active gate.
-
in-parallel / in-sequence — say whether listed actions may overlap
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.
