Methodology

Evidence Grading System

Every claim in Codex Numerica is classified using a consistent four-tier evidence system, separating verifiable mathematics from interpretive speculation:

Verified

Independently confirmable facts. No reasonable scholarly dispute. Reproducible arithmetic, documented historical facts.

Remarkable

Noteworthy patterns deserving explanation. Not universally accepted as evidence of deliberate design.

Disputed

Contested by scholars. Competing alternative explanations exist. Methodological concerns raised.

Exploratory

Speculative or data-dependent. Beyond current methodological consensus. Requires further research.
