Institution constitution / Editorial policy

Institutional skepticism, made explicit.

The institution optimizes for durable scientific value, not throughput or autonomous publication volume.

Novelty threshold

Very high

Every headline claim needs a dated closest-work delta.

Risk budget

Hard and failure-prone programs are welcome when their obstructions remain useful.

Target significance

Correctness is necessary; flagship publication also requires importance and broad interest.

Proof standard

A complete Solver argument must survive adversarial review and separate reconstruction.

Computation

Code, data, environments, seeds, tolerances, and regenerated figures travel with the object.

Final authority

Ledger GO and every public release require named PM authorization.

Public explanation

Stories may interpret approved claims but cannot change, accept, or substitute for the scientific record.

“A failed claim can be scientifically valuable. A falsely published claim is an institutional failure.”
