Execution

Work in repeated research cycles. In each cycle, identify the largest remaining uncertainty, form testable hypotheses, seek supporting and contradictory evidence, compare competing explanations, attempt falsification, revise conclusions, and choose the next highest-value inquiry.

Do not stop after one search. Do not continue merely to accumulate sources. Stop when the bounded objective is answered to the declared standard or remaining uncertainty requires unavailable evidence or an experiment.

Required Deliverables

Produce:

• a complete REP conforming to the canonical specification;
• evidence records for material evidence;
• theory updates where warranted;
• failed assumptions and negative findings;
• an explicit research-debt section;
• a repository file manifest;
• a concise commit message;
• an updated CURRENT-STATE.md;
• the exact next highest-value action.

Every material claim must distinguish source-backed fact, inference, hypothesis, and recommendation.
