Falsification, Replication, and Avatar Evaluation in the UFT Research Programme

This article proposes an auditable test protocol for speculative cross-domain physical frameworks and applies its vocabulary to the Unified Flow Theory (UFT) research programme. The protocol distinguishes implementation checks, robustness analyses, empirical tests, reproduction, independent reimplementation, replication, and confirmation. A test is represented as a versioned object containing the claim, dependency graph, theory-to-observable mapping, parameters, data, preprocessing, null and rival models, uncertainty model, endpoints, thresholds, target-access record, and outcome-dependent action. Confirmatory evaluation requires a frozen mapping and protected evidence, such as untouched held-out data, a blinded target, or genuinely future data. Separate reporting rules are provided for negative, null, equivalence, and inconclusive outcomes. Failure-reach analysis determines whether an adverse result bears on code, a mapping, an avatar application, a derivation, or the wider framework. The accompanying historical language audit does not constitute empirical validation. No UFT empirical result, independent replication, confirmation claim, or completed final empirical gate is asserted.
