The GFunnel Methodology

Scientific Inquiry Algorithm

All algorithms

The steps

  1. State the question with maximum precision.
  2. Identify what the answer would have to look like to count as an answer. What forms of response would qualify?
  3. Identify the falsifiability condition. What observation would prove the leading hypothesis wrong?
  4. Map the variables. Which are measurable now? Which are bounded? Which are held open?
  5. Design the experiment to maximally narrow the held-open variables.
  6. Run the experiment. Capture all data without filtering.
  7. Apply the Variable Principle to results. Do not fill remaining variables with assumption.
  8. Update the model. Per the Slime Mold mechanism: failed hypotheses contribute information to the integrated understanding.
  9. Document the experiment, the variables, the data, and the variables now bounded or resolved.
  10. Iterate at higher baseline. The next experiment loads with all prior experiments’ information.
