Protocol for pre-registration to ensure validation of predictions.

Abstract

This computational extension supplements the core axiodynamics framework v5. 7 (DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 17853441) by formalizing telos inference mechanisms without altering the axiomatic hard core (Axioms 1-9). ## Key contributions - Telos inference algorithm: θ*T via directional optimization of telotopic negentropy Nₜel (θ) - Mnemonic inertia coefficient λ (t) with temporal persistence and guard conditions- Social reinforcement decomposition: Rₛocial = RᵦCia1 + Rₛync + Rbelong - Rayleigh test for proto-telos detection (p ≤ 0. 05 threshold) - Non-existence condition: explicit falsifiable negative predictions ## Epistemic status This extension operates at the protective-belt level (Lakatos, 1978) and preserves the hard core unchanged. It provides a computational specification requiring empirical calibration via pre-registered protocols (OSF: https: //osf. io/kjpmz). ## Citation guidelines - For theoretical foundation: cite v5. 7 (DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 17853441) - For implementation/calibration: cite v5. 8 (this deposit) ## Current status Computational specification — empirical validation pending (Level 0-2 protocols pre-registered on OSF).
