Science
What can you deterministically perceive as the truth?
The scientific method is the discovery language of the knowledge stack. Every hypothesis that survives experiment becomes a principle — an irreducible truth that protocols, standards, and platforms are built upon.

Protocol
The practice of discovering repeatable protocols that consistently deliver predictable results.
| Practice | Habit |
|---|---|
| Make an observation | Develop curious attention |
| Ask a question | The best you can think of |
| Research | Learn about the subject |
| Hypothesis | A testable explanation |
| Make predictions | Make predictions of expected outcomes |
| Experiment | Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis |
| Data/Analysis | Record observations and analyze the meaning of the data |
| Conclusion | How accurate was your prediction |
| Iterate | Ask an evolved question |
Today's facts are tomorrow's fiction.
Hypothesis
A good hypothesis includes four attributes:
- Can be disagreed with
- Subject can be improved and quantified
- Clearly expresses one main idea
- Has potential for a clear conclusion
Observer Effect
The observer effect: observing a situation inevitably changes it. Fundamental in quantum mechanics, but also present in sociology, psychology, and computer science. Ignoring it leads to errors interpreting results.
Problems
| Problem | Current State | Decentralized Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Funding centralized | Only 2% goes to researchers under 35 | Token-gated grants, IP NFTs |
| Replication siloed | Hard to reproduce across institutions | Open data, on-chain proofs |
| Data paywalled | Lives behind institutional access | Open access incentive models |
| Incentives misaligned | Publish or perish, not discover or validate | VitaDAO, Molecule, AthenaDAO |
Rapidly validating with unbiased, replicable results — that's what decentralized science (DeSci) is building.
