Independent Replication Plan frontier
Independent Replication Plan: document frontier
Source and coverage
- Source:
research/validation/independent-replication-plan.md - Canonical ID: missing; path-derived frontier identity used
- Lifecycle status:
draft - Artifact type:
research-document - Version: 0.1
- Confidence: not declared
- Inclusion rule: explicit authority/current-state dependency
- Analysis unit: VALIDATION-PROGRAM
Phase 1 — knowledge extraction
- Primary objective: Attempt to disprove or simplify the theory before expansion or publication.
- Primary claims: Independent replication, competing explanations, falsification, and visible limits are publication gates.
- Supporting evidence: The source's declared references and the co-analyzed records listed in the analysis-unit frontier.
- Methodology: Adversarial review standards and proposed replication protocols.
- Accepted/current findings: Internal same-model evidence remains exploratory.
- Rejected or unsupported findings: Publication readiness without independent replication.
- Assumptions: Planned protocols will be executed without outcome-dependent drift.
- Limitations: Much of the validation program is a plan rather than completed evidence.
- Known uncertainties: External replicability; Human agreement; Control adequacy; Stopping rules.
- Declared headings inspected: Independent Replication Plan; Purpose; Replication Levels; FE-008 Identity-Capability Classification; FE-011A Redesign Comparison; FE-012A Primitive Extraction; FE-012B Primitive Synthesis.
Phase 2 — unresolved unknowns
- External replicability
- Human agreement
- Control adequacy
- Stopping rules
Phase 3 — adversarial challenge
Repository process maturity is high relative to its completed independent validation coverage.
Evidence that would materially change this assessment includes a completed independent replication, a preregistered negative control, a matched causal comparison, a governance disposition, or a demonstrated failure of the measurement and integrity instruments relevant to this source.
Top five traceable opportunities
| Rank for this document | Record | Opportunity | Category | Frontier score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RFR-2026-001 | Negative non-isomorphic control benchmark | Measurement | 495 |
| 2 | RFR-2026-016 | Complete blinded mechanism-boundary adjudication | Validation | 492 |
| 3 | RFR-2026-002 | Independent human procedural-extraction baseline | Human Factors | 491 |
| 4 | RFR-2026-003 | Matched incremental-utility experiment | Experimentation | 490 |
| 5 | RFR-2026-004 | Recognition-control replication | Validation | 394 |
The opportunity records contain source sections, challenged assumptions, supporting evidence, dependencies, methodology, outputs, and success criteria. Repeated opportunities are semantic links to one repository-wide record rather than duplicated records.
