Admissibility frontier · Edition 3

Expanded claim page · assertion 2 of 3

the detector has two different jobs

Experiment / protocolBuilder

Defines a measurement, sensitivity calculation or empirical decision rule. constructs a model, mechanism, calculation, protocol or intervention.

Exact assertion

Orientation is part of the measurement. A few degrees of analyser error can leak as much leading response as the entire second mode, and keeping that leakage below ten percent requires roughly seven-tenths of a degree alignment. A scalar sensitivity number is therefore not an adequate detector description; the apparatus must reconstruct the response direction and its covariance.

What this commits us to

The claim concerns a protocol, sensitivity or decision rule. It must be kept separate from a prediction that a nonzero signal exists.

Logical anatomy

Scope

Chapter “The admissibility frontier”, section “the detector has two different jobs”. This is assertion 2 of 3 in that section.

Evidence posture

Separate predicted signal from sensitivity, calibration and decision protocol.

Research move

constructs a model, mechanism, calculation, protocol or intervention.

Verification route

  1. Recover the declared objects and assumptions from the controlling documents.
  2. Check the calculation, construction, obstruction or stopping rule on those same objects.
  3. Compare the source conclusion with the exact assertion above; do not strengthen its verbs or enlarge its domain.
  4. Apply the status rule and retain every named external dependency.

What would move or defeat this claim

Specify the apparatus, calibration, null distribution, preregistered threshold and independently predicted effect size.
