Findings

Outcomes, with their limits attached

A finding is a checked outcome. A claim is the exact sentence that outcome supports. “Discovery” is only a badge after a fresh novelty review—not a separate pile of content.

Does the matched weather/Kp result replicate on direct station data and held-out dates?

Result: In the full-date Hessdalen event corpus, dated observations behave as an observation-ecology result rather than a physical explanation: event days are not elevated on same-day Kp against matched +/-7/14/21/28 day controls, while precipitation and wind-gust metrics are lower than controls. This claim does not explain what the Hessdalen lights are, does not claim weather causes the phenomenon, and does not refute geomagnetic hypotheses generally; it only says same-day Kp is not elevated in this bridge. Weather evidence is Open-Meteo reanalysis-grid data, not direct station instrument logs for every event.

Claim ceiling: Bounded corpus/measurement result; no mechanism or universality.

Novelty: Aletheia applies matched +/-7/14/21/28-day controls to dated reports and separates same-day Kp non-elevation from lower reanalysis precipitation/gust observation ecology.

Does the LZc effect remain absent after preregistered aperiodic control in new raw EEG?

Result: In two raw psychedelic-EEG datasets (ketamine and DMT), apparent increases in signal-diversity complexity (Lempel-Ziv) are largely explained by flattening of the 1/f aperiodic slope; after controlling for the aperiodic exponent, no separable complexity effect remains in these datasets.

Claim ceiling: Bounded corpus/measurement result; no mechanism or universality.

Novelty: Aletheia tests the specific 1/f aperiodic exponent as the confound in both ketamine and DMT raw datasets and reports no separable drug effect after that control.

Does dream-report linkage generalize to independent open-set contributors?

Result: Closed-set pseudonymous linkage within DreamBank after obvious content clues were removed.

Claim ceiling: Closed-set pseudonymous archive linkage, not real-name identification.

Novelty: Aletheia directly measures closed-set pseudonymous linkage across 20 contributors after removing obvious names and content clues, with an explicit privacy framing.

Does the coarse telling-order gradient replicate in the independently collected NDERF corpus?

Result: Validated markers in 2,192 OBERF narratives follow a coarse order in the telling: onset/body markers early, tunnel and light mid-narrative, felt presence after them, return-to-body last; p=1e-4 in both corpus halves under an event-set-preserving null. Early-cluster internal order is not stable, so the supported claim is a coarse gradient, not a step-by-step sequence.

Claim ceiling: Telling order of validated markers in one corpus; not an experienced-event sequence; early-cluster order unstable.

Novelty: Preregistered, precision-gated marker measurement with permutation nulls and split replication on an OBE corpus; telling-order claim ceiling

Does the database-level structure (robust pooled excess, no decline, weak small-study signal) hold in the independent Tressoldi compilation?

Result: In the public 128-study ganzfeld compilation: pooled excess +376.2 hits over the ~5,459-trial chance expectation (p<1e-5), robust to greedy removal of 46 of 128 studies; decline over time absent at the frozen 0.01 threshold; small-study association suggestive only (p=0.019-0.047). Structure of the compiled file; upstream selection untested; no psi conclusion either way.

Claim ceiling: Structure of one proponent-compiled database; upstream publication/selection effects untested; no psi conclusion.

Novelty: Frozen pre-registered thresholds, greedy fragility count, duplicate sensitivity, and independent exact-tail reproduction on the 2018 compilation
