What it does
Formulate evidence-bounded scientific questions, candidate hypotheses, rival explanations, causal or associational claims, discriminating predictions, measurements, and preregistration-ready analysis plans. Use when turning observations or preliminary findings into transparent, testable research plans without treating hypotheses as facts.
Scientific Hypothesis Generation
Turn an observation into a transparent set of candidate explanations and tests. A hypothesis is a proposal to be challenged, not a finding, fact, diagnosis, or recommendation.
Non-negotiable boundaries
Before using unpublished, sensitive, controlled, personal, proprietary, export-controlled, or security-relevant material:
- Confirm authorization and the applicable institutional, funder, publisher, data-use, privacy, and AI policies.
- Keep the material local unless an authorized human explicitly approves a named external destination and data scope.
- Minimize inputs. Do not place sensitive or unpublished data in web searches or external AI systems without authorization.
- Stop at the appropriate human, animal, biosafety, dual-use, data-governance, or regulatory gate.
Never:
- present a hypothesis, mechanism, causal effect, citation, or apparent pattern as established evidence;
- claim novelty because a quick search found nothing;
- infer causation from association, temporal order alone, predictive accuracy, or model output;
- supply patient-specific diagnosis, treatment, dose, prognosis, or other clinical advice;
- provide harmful experimental optimization or operational detail for pathogens, toxins, weapons, evasion, or other misuse;
- bypass IRB/REC, IACUC, IBC, biosafety, dual-use, privacy, legal, or regulatory review;
- fabricate sources, identifiers, search coverage, data, results, approvals, or preregistration;
- automatically score, rank, select, accept, or reject scientific hypotheses.
If a request crosses a safety gate, produce only a high-level risk/oversight note and route it to the qualified local authority. Do not continue with operational detail.
