What the evidence indicates

A concise reading of the source

Retrospective rediscovery can show that a system recognizes useful patterns, but the stronger test is whether a new hypothesis survives pre-registered experiments and independent replication.

FUURAA interpretation

Why this could matter

Credible co-scientist platforms should separate generated proposals, expert selection, experimental tests and confirmed findings in their public record.
