At Full Strength · the wave’s portal
Every Claim at Full Strength
The At Full Strength wave took extraordinary claims from the record of science, from a counting horse to faster-than-light neutrinos. For each one it rebuilt the claim from its authors’ own numbers, then tested the test that decided it (or, for a claim still open, the test that would): by planting the claim into the control’s own data where those were released, and by setting it against the control’s printed sensitivity where they were not. This portal reads every page’s machine record and nothing else. Sort the claims by verdict, by what decided them and by how long deciding took; see every cell of every page’s ledger, the false ones included; and read what the wave would not build, and why.
Each page of the wave did four things, in order. It reproduced the claimants’ own headline evidence from their own published numbers, with its own engine, before anything else. It put the test that historically decided the claim (or, for a claim still open, the test that would) in the reader’s hands: rerun on real data where the control’s data were released, and read from the control’s published summary where they were not, which the ledger wall’s control-computed column records page by page. It tested that test: where the control’s data were released, it planted the claimed effect, at its claimed size, into a copy of them and reran the unmodified control (grade A); where the control was published only as a sensitivity, it worked out the control’s power from its authors’ own printed numbers and said so (grade B). And it stated the verdict in one of five words, with a date, its sources and what would change it.
Every page ships a small record of all of that beside it, and a supervisor gate compares that record’s ledger with what the page’s own verifier computes. This page reads those records and nothing else. It cannot say anything about a claim that the claim’s own page did not already stand behind, and it cannot check a claim itself.
Without JavaScript this page shows the claims as one table, written from the records by the index generator. With it, the page fetches every record itself.

The claims, side by side
Each card is one claim: its title, the year it was made, the headline as its authors printed it, and the verdict with the date it was given. Switch the arrangement and watch the same claims regroup.

II · A timeline of deciding
From the claim to its decision
Each claim is a bar from the year it was made to the year its record says it was decided, which is the claim’s year plus the record’s own years to decision. A claim still open is drawn as an unfinished bar that runs to the day of its record’s as-of date and stops there, labelled open. It is never given an end.
III · The ledger wall
Every cell of every ledger
The wave’s CONTRACT gives each page nine yes-or-no cells, each backed by a named assertion in that page’s verifier: did the page reproduce the claim, compute the control, show the control could have confirmed the claim, assert its printed figures, make its choices live, catch a planted fault, assert a refusal, pin its data, and date its verdict. A false cell is the honest thing it is, such as a grade B page recording that its control could not be rerun. None is hidden and none is averaged. There is no score here of any kind, because the CONTRACT forbids one on purpose.
IV · The second layer
What the records say together
These numbers describe this wave’s selection, not science. The claims were chosen by hand from the record of science, and the wave kept only those whose claimants’ numbers, and whose control’s data or printed sensitivity, were public in the same observable. Nothing below is a sample of extraordinary claims, and nothing below is a base rate for how often they come true. Each figure is computed in your browser from the records above and printed with the count it rests on.
How the claims came out
How long deciding took, by what decided it
Did claims settled by a fault in the instrument or by contamination settle faster than claims that needed someone to repeat the work? Each row is one kind of decision, with every claim’s years to decision and their median.
Looking again at evidence already in hand needs no new experiment, and new evidence has to wait for one, so part of this gap is expected by construction. Each kind also mixes verdicts: the comparison says how deciding happened in this selection, not which claims were right.
Could the control be rerun?
Cross any two
Choose what the rows and columns count, then choose a cell to name the claims in it.
V · What the wave would not build
The candidates it killed, and why
The wave screened more candidates than it built. A page could be built only when two things were public in a form it could use: the claimants’ own numbers, enough to reproduce their headline at the strength they printed, and the deciding control’s data or sensitivity, in the same observable as the claim, so that the claimed effect could be planted into it, or set against it, at its claimed size. When either half was missing, or what was public could not carry the test, the spec stage killed the candidate and kept the objection. The screen is itself a finding: each kill names the half of the evidence on which the test broke down, whether because the numbers are not public or because what is public does not measure the claim at its claimed size.
Which side a kill fell on is this page’s own reading of the quoted objection, not the wave’s, and each objection is printed beside it so you can disagree. The claim side means the claimants’ headline could not be reproduced at the strength they printed from what they published; the control side means the claimed effect could not be planted into the deciding control’s own observable, or set against its published sensitivity, at its claimed size. Each objection is quoted word for word from the candidate’s own file in the wave’s directory, which holds the full argument.
First pass, under the strict power rule (before grade B existed)
LK-99
lk99the control side“A large resistance drop is already present in the non-superconducting Cu2S control. Recovering another planted drop therefore cannot show that the control could have confirmed the superconductivity claim.”
specs/KILLED-lk99.md
the Theta+ pentaquark
pentaquark-thetathe control side“The prospect's proposed fallback power test does not plant the claimed physical effect. It transfers 19 detected LEPS events into a different experiment without a justified conversion of production rate, exposure, acceptance, and nuclear final-state interactions.”
specs/KILLED-pentaquark-theta.md
the 750 GeV diphoton excess
diphoton-750both sides“The claimed signal yield is a parameter of a separate signal-plus-background fit, with the background parameters fitted again. A residual above the first curve is not the signal yield from the second fit.”

polywater
polywaterthe control side“The proposed injection changes a spectrum, but the decisive question is chemical identity.”

the fifth force read out of Eötvös
fifth-force-eotvosthe control side“the suggested control's own exclusion figure has contradictory sign labels, and the curve labelled repulsive is clipped at the claimed range.”
specs/KILLED-fifth-force-eotvos.md
the neutron lifetime puzzle
neutron-lifetimethe control side later specified again and built as where-the-missing-neutrons-could-go“Comparing an added line with a published exclusion curve checks the published answer, not whether the control detects the planted effect.”
specs/KILLED-neutron-lifetime.md
the X17 anomaly
x17-atomkithe control side“MEG II uses a likelihood with finite simulation statistics and nuisance parameters. Its displayed central curves do not supply the effective simulation counts, separate component templates, or their changes with mass and calibration.”
specs/KILLED-x17-atomki.md
the Wow! signal
wow-signalthe control side“The proposed replacement power test changes the physical signal while claiming to plant the historical one.”
specs/KILLED-wow-signal.md
the Allais effect
allais-effectthe control side“The public Salva figures contain corrected precession rates. They do not contain the uncorrected azimuth and ellipse measurements required to rerun his control.”
specs/KILLED-allais-effect.md
After the grade B rule was added
Planet Nine
planet-nine-clusteringthe control side“the published 0.007% is a tail probability for an already selected sample, not a specified intrinsic population effect that can be transplanted into a different survey at the claimed size.”
specs/KILLED-planet-nine-clustering.md
cold fusion
cold-fusion-gammathe claim side“The proposed page combines a transformed gamma plot with a neutron-rate headline from a different measurement.”
specs/KILLED-cold-fusion-gamma.md
the fifth force read out of Eötvös
fifth-force-eotvosthe claim side“The reproducible EPF slope does not determine the coupling and range against which the proposed grade B control would be compared.”
specs/KILLED-fifth-force-eotvos.md
the X17 anomaly
x17-atomkithe claim side“The checked claimant record does not specify the actual null chi-square, its degrees of freedom, the exact bins entering that significance, or a complete treatment of fitted background and shared acceptance uncertainty.”
specs/KILLED-x17-atomki.md
L'Anse aux Meadows
vinland-1021the claim side“The earliest complete six-ring fit available from that reference is consequently 1021. A minimum at this boundary cannot establish the reported preference over 1019 or 1020.”

solar neutrino problem
solar-neutrino-problemthe claim side“The published run estimates and the headline fit are outputs of different statistical procedures.”
specs/KILLED-solar-neutrino-problem.md
Stonehenge's Altar Stone
altar-stonethe control side“The proposed power injection checks whether a difference test tolerates a manufactured match. It does not establish sensitivity to the claimed Scottish provenance.”
specs/KILLED-altar-stone.md
the peppered moth
peppered-moththe control side“The proposed instrument cannot test bird-specific predation at the historical claimed size.”
specs/KILLED-peppered-moth.md
the Draupner wave
draupner-wavethe control side“the laboratory result is conditioned on the historical waveform: the experiment adjusts the wavemaker amplitudes and phases towards the Draupner measurement.”

VI · The check
What this page did, and what it cannot do
What it read
The index, claims.json, lists every record.json on this site whose top level has a claim object and a verdict object, with the SHA-256 of its bytes. The page fetches the index, then fetches every record it lists from this site and hashes the bytes it received against the index.
The CONTRACT’s own rules, checked against every record
What it refuses
The timeline refuses to draw a record for any of these reasons, and names each refused record below with its reason: the record gives no whole-number claim year; years to decision is not a whole number of years from zero up; the verdict carries no valid as-of date; an OPEN verdict that also gives a decision year; a settled verdict with no years to decision; a decision year after the record’s own as-of date; a claim year after the record’s own as-of date.
Every free choice it makes
- A decision year is the claim’s year plus the record’s own years to decision. The page never dates a decision itself, and where a record says how it counted its years, the card quotes it.
- On the timeline a year is drawn from its first day, and an open claim runs to the first moment of the day of its record’s as-of date.
- Fields are grouped on the record’s field text up to any parenthesis, lower-cased, so that psychology pages with different subtitles in brackets share a group.
- A median is the middle value, or the mean of the two middle values.
- For one comparison the page pairs the CONTRACT’s words for what decided a claim into two kinds: looking again at the original evidence (the instrument, the analysis, contamination, perception) and new evidence (more data, independent replication). The pairing is this page’s.
- “Settled against the claimants” means DISSOLVED, ARTEFACT or WITHDRAWN.
- The side each kill fell on is this page’s reading, printed beside the objection it reads.
What it cannot do
- It cannot check any claim. A record is exactly as good as its page’s verifier. What stands between the two is the supervisor’s gate, which runs each page’s verifier and refuses a record whose nine cells disagree with what the verifier computes.
- It does not judge between pages. It counts, groups and draws; it never adds cells together, never ranks, and prints no score.
- Its counts describe the claims this wave chose and could build. The kills are part of that choice, which is why they are printed.
