MorrowResearch discipline / Insight audit
The right to be wrong.
An insight is not an insight merely because the analogy feels illuminating. It must allow a source to refuse the interpretation and the world to correct the theory.
Eight gates / No automatic certification
Every exchange must answer.
Concept origin: borrowed, adapted, coined, extended, unresolved, restricted or superseded
Concrete scene, historical institutions, mechanism, context and appropriate evidence class
Reciprocity: outside scholarship can correct or reject the Negromantic extension
Genre, body, form, performance, affect and mediation where applicable
Opacity: classify uncertainty; protect consent, archival absence and authorship
Bearing: who pays, works, risks and benefits; distinguish conversion from real repair
Independent audit: objections, replicability, operator conflicts and versioned correction
A gate may be recorded as not applicable only with a reason. A proposal starts with every gate pending; an independent review has to actually occur before a review badge is earned.
A historically situated method
How to read a scene.
- Encounter
- Genre and installed human
- Embodied pressure
- Material compartments
- Relational circuits
- Mediation and repertoire
- Sacred experience and limits
- Opacity and testimony
- Burden, intervention and impacts
- Re-witness and correction
These are historically useful diagnostic operations, not a renewed ten-step creed. The October 7 audit takes priority when a June or July formulation has been restricted.
Evidence discipline
No sovereign interpretations.
Distinguish source, observation, scholarly interpretation, Negromantic proposition, speculation, outcome, and audit. Maintain exact provenance and an opportunity for source-specific dissent.
Use evidence appropriate to the claim; experience does not alone prove causality, ritual accounts do not alone establish spirit as an external entity, fictional work is not archival evidence, policy success needs measured outcomes.
