Independent research. Rigorous methodology. Open science.
The framework's known unknowns. What's actively being tested, what's a known mechanism gap, what reach hasn't yet landed cleanly. A framework that knows what it doesn't know is more trustworthy than one that pretends to know everything.
Each question below links to the relevant entry where the question is treated in detail — typically a pre-registered prediction, a research note documenting the gap, or a paper-status entry naming what's pending. Questions are open by definition; their resolution arrives via tests, audits, or new derivations and gets documented in a future entry. The audit trail IS the record.
Predictions with locked confirmation/falsification thresholds. The result lands wherever it lands.
Test JJ Phase 1 currently running on Hetzner. Pre-registered confirmation: cos-distance ≥ 0.15 at boundary drives with non-monotonic signature.
→ Pre-Registered — Test JJ Joint 7-Vector Emergence Criteria
Cheap to test (~$1-3K at any battery-research lab). Confirmation: 6 reduction peaks at 0.45 V ± 0.05 V step spacing, with >10⁸× tunneling suppression vs spherical control.

Decadal timescale (superheavy nucleus synthesis is current-frontier work). Framework's Pentanacci prediction converges with shell-model 'island of stability' conjecture — same integer from two unrelated frameworks.
→ Pre-Registered — Cycle-3 Pentanacci Magic Numbers Beyond 126
Five numerical values pre-registered (bulge 1.29, floor 0.207c, seat angle 137.51°, pitch 0.143, ceiling 0.500). SIM-003 v6c on Hetzner; result gates Paper 3 release.

Sample A with engineered {2,3} void pattern vs Sample B with random voids. Confirmation: A shows 1.7 THz peak ≥4× baseline; B shows no peak.

Specific places where the framework's mechanism is incomplete and the framework operator knows it.
Current cipher reads f (accumulation/peak) cleanly but not |t (cooling/reorganization). This is what limits the framework's energetic-scale predictions (T2 blind test scored 33% within an order of magnitude). Adding the |t read is the next cipher development.

Framework predicts cycle-2 dimensions come in triplets (matter / antimatter / emergent third) per the 24-cell's third-orbit. Candidate identifications: glass, quasicrystals, tunneling intermediate, superconductivity, H-embrittlement intermediate. Not yet pinned down which (if any) is canonical.
Initial FDTD suggests plasma's effective dimensionality (~2.85) needs 0.05–0.1 refinement to match cavity-eigenmode resonance enhancement. Ongoing work.

Dark-matter alternative hypothesis is qualitatively in place (apex-bearing galactic geometries amplify gravitational coupling) but lacks a quantitative formula matching rotation-curve observations.
→ Dark Matter as Geometric Amplification — Conditionally Viable, Needs Quantitative Formula
Where the framework's reach into cosmology has not yet landed cleanly.
Currently at ~4 percentage points without fitting — suggestive but not supportive at the framework's usual precision (1% on magic numbers). Needs cleaner prescription for dimensional read at SH0ES distances.
→ Hubble Tension — Honest Fence-Sit Within ~4 pp, No Fitting
Paper 7 release depends on this. First 256³ run completing in ~2-3 days. Confirmation: 256³ amplitude in (0.8 to 1.2) × 10⁻⁶ and within 15% of 128³ amplitude.

Framework's dark-energy alternative claims acceleration is the cosmic-vs-local framerate mismatch. Specific quantitative prediction of expansion-rate history not yet derived.
→ Cipher v8 — Geometry Rings at Coord/{2,3} (Lattice Resonance Mechanism)
Predictions that need experimental builds, not just theory.
Device concept fully designed (twin cold plasma tori + {7}-fold rotating shell). Construction would require ~$100K-500K. No build has been attempted.
→ Framerate Resonance Chamber — Twin Cold Plasma Tori + {7}-Fold Rotating Shell
Mechanism predicted via plasma-phasing + internal-geometry findings. Synthesis pending collaborator capacity.
→ Plasma Phasing + Geometric Nudging — High-Frequency Cold Plasma in Shaped Cavities
Framework predicts Mn allotropes, Am variants should show wide-liquid-range + contraction-on-melting matching gallium. Quantitative cross-element comparison not yet done.
→ Gallium Framerate Exploit — CN=7 + {7} Boundary = Anomalous Behavior
Where the framework's reach into biology has been claimed but not quantitatively confirmed.
Qualitative connection via HPC-039. Quantitative match (does the rotor frequency match the cavity self-resonance?) is open.
Framework hints at this from {5,7} frustration interaction. Quantitative derivation pending Paper 9 work.
Framework prediction from non-Euclidean measurement discovery. Empirical test against folding kinetics not yet done.
→ The Cipher Reads True Non-Euclidean Geometry — First X-Ray-Less Measurement
Questions about how the framework knows what it knows.
Structures with both 2-fold and 3-fold features need a 'which dominates' rule; currently heuristic. Promoting this to a principled derivation is open.
→ {3} Concentrates, {2} Transports — Factor-3 Concentrator Hypothesis
184 ± 4 — but the ±4 tolerance is justified by Pentanacci derivation specifics. Tighter precision (±1 or ±2) would make falsification cleaner.
→ Pre-Registered — Cycle-3 Pentanacci Magic Numbers Beyond 126
The approximate π scaling between adjacent cycles' analogous slots is empirical. The Tribonacci framework gives sharper per-cycle derivation but doesn't yet derive the inter-cycle π factor.
