Define the distinct, non-redundant scientific core of Vitology following systematic comparison with established scientific disciplines and outline the requirements for empirical testing.
Systematic theoretical comparison and conceptual subtraction against Systems Theory, Complexity Science, Cybernetics, Information Theory, Evolutionary Theory, Thermodynamics, Control Theory, and Viability Theory.
Formulation of eight testable empirical hypotheses (H8) establishing validation criteria against existing domain-specific models.
Demonstrated that foundational concepts—including emergence, feedback, entropy, adaptation, safe sets, and viability kernels—belong to established fields and cannot be claimed as novel Vitology discoveries.
Identified the residual scientific core of Vitology as a cross-domain metrology tracking the dynamic viability outcome, including viability profiles, trajectories, recovery, and reserve.
Established the primary validation requirement that a vitological model must reproducibly outperform existing domain-specific models when predicting future outcomes across different system classes.
