Summary

How science funding shapes which questions physics is allowed to ask. The cage thesis: no coordinated suppression of the oxygen-in-space fact or the extra-dimension nulls has been found [VERIFIED]; what is documented is a fiscal structure — the money machine funded the measurable at ~260× to ~426,000× the rate of the living questions. The cage is not doctrinal; it is fiscal.

Key claims

• No coordinated suppression [VERIFIED] — oxygen is published NASA science; extra-dimension theories are published with their nulls.
• Fiscal ratios [VERIFIED numbers, INFERENCE reading]: ~260× to ~426,000×.
• NASA share collapse: 4.41% of federal budget at Apollo peak → 0.35% (a ~12.6× collapse).
• Documented absence [VERIFIED]: no budget line, ever, for the vacuum-floor or dimensional-ladder questions.
• Self-reinforcing mechanism: Matthew effect, citation penalty for novelty, declining disruptive science, Kuhn's normal science.
• Falsification anchor: a located, dated NASA/NSF/CERN budget line for the living questions would falsify the thesis.
