Arctic Falsifiability Conditions

The candidate Arctic exit domain must remain subject to rejection if observations fail to support the reconstruction.

Earth: Day Zero therefore defines explicit falsifiability conditions.

Condition One

Failure of geometric compatibility with entrance-domain and midpoint-domain relationships would weaken the interpretation.

Condition Two

Scaling relationships inconsistent with broader framework constraints would require revision or rejection.

Condition Three

Absence of supporting evidence across multiple independent observational classes would reduce explanatory value.

Condition Four

A superior alternative explanation capable of explaining the same observations with fewer assumptions should be preferred.

Scientific Role

Falsifiability exists to improve reconstruction quality, reduce unsupported assumptions, and narrow viable solution space.

For this reason, the Arctic candidate domain remains a testable hypothesis rather than a protected conclusion.
