Worldview Audit Rubric
This document provides the scoring framework for auditing various worldviews against the Theophysics axiom set.
Audit & Scoring Protocol
The audit follows a specific protocol designed to rigorously test the internal and external coherence of each worldview.
- The Gauntlet: Each of the 7 Axiom Domains is treated as a gauntlet that a worldview must pass through.
- The “Clean Slate” Rule: For each new domain, competing worldviews are granted a “clean slate.” Their previous failures are noted, but they are judged on the merits of the current domain independently. This demonstrates that a worldview doesn’t just fail once, but fails repeatedly on separate, independent grounds.
- The “Ironman” Rule: The Theophysics framework does not get a clean slate. It must pass through all 7 domains cumulatively and coherently, without a single failure. Its validity rests on its unbroken consistency.
Scoring System
Each worldview is scored against each of the 7 Axiom Domains on a 5-point scale:
- +2 (Strongly Affirms): The worldview requires the axiom for its own internal coherence.
- +1 (Accommodates): The worldview is compatible with the axiom but does not depend on it.
- 0 (Neutral/Irrelevant): The worldview does not address the axiom.
- -1 (Implicitly Contradicts): The worldview’s other tenets create tension with the axiom, making it difficult to hold consistently.
- -2 (Directly Contradicts): The worldview explicitly denies the axiom.
A score of -1 or -2 on any domain constitutes a failure for that worldview in that gauntlet.
