EXP — EXPERIMENT
Definition: A controlled experimental result cited as support.
Epistemological Role
- Controlled: Designed to isolate variables
- Replicable: Can be repeated
- Cited: Published in scientific literature
Test for Experiment Status
“Is this a controlled experiment with published results?”
- If YES → Experiment
- If it’s observational → EV (Evidence)
- If it’s proposed → PROT (Protocol)

The Experiments
| ID | Name | Tests | Source |
|---|---|---|---|

How These Support Theophysics
| Experiment | Orthodox QM | Theophysics Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Delayed Choice | Weird but accepted | Observer participation in actualization (A5.1) |
| Quantum Eraser | Information determines outcome | χ carries semantic content (P2.2) |
These experiments are accepted physics — they’re not controversial. Theophysics provides an interpretation of what they mean.
Experiments are the hardest evidence. These two are bedrock.
