The steps

  1. State the claim being evaluated.
  2. Apply the Variable Principle. What variables is the claim filling with assumption?
  3. Apply falsifiability. What would prove the claim wrong? If nothing, the claim is not a claim.
  4. Locate the source. Is the source operating from First Kingdom reactivity, Second Kingdom system, or Third Kingdom awareness?
  5. Apply Correspondence. Does the claim hold at scales other than the one where it was made?
  6. Apply Polarity. Is the claim treating something as binary that is actually a degree variation?
  7. Identify what the claim would imply if true and if false. The implications often clarify which holds.
  8. Status the claim. Resolved, bounded, held open, or refuted.
  9. Document the assessment. Per Database step. The reasoning, not just the conclusion.
