The 150 Questions
Source: 00_THE_150_QUESTIONS.md
Count: 150 questions (50 original + 100 new)
Research papers: 15 papers
Status: THE HONEST FRONTIER
The 150 questions are what we don't yet know. They are the unanswered questions the corpus poses to the field — the honest frontier of phi-physics.
Each question is:
- Precise: stated as a specific, falsifiable query
- Cross-referenced: linked to relevant laws and papers
- Honest: its difficulty and current status are stated
- Actionable: points to what would answer it
The first 50 questions from the original program. These cover:
- Fundamental physics (10): What is consciousness? What is dark matter? What is dark energy?
- Mathematical (10): Can phi-geometry prove the Riemann hypothesis? What is the phi-prime distribution?
- Cosmological (10): What is the phi-age of the universe? What is the phi-Hubble constant?
- Biological (10): What is the phi-threshold for life? What is the phi-basis of consciousness?
- Philosophical (10): What is the phi-nature of free will? What is the phi-relationship between mind and matter?
The next 100 questions from the v4.9 expansion. These cover:
- Emerging law questions (30): What are the testable predictions of the 600 emerging laws?
- Device questions (20): Which phi-devices can be built with current technology?
- Cross-domain questions (20): How do phi-laws connect across different fields?
- Experimental questions (15): What experiments would falsify phi-physics?
- Theoretical questions (15): What are the mathematical foundations of phi-coherence?
The research papers address specific questions from the 150:

The questions are recursive: each answer generates new questions. This is by design — the corpus is a living document, not a closed system.
Question 1: What is consciousness?
├── Answer: Phi-coherence above C_crit = 0.563
├── New Question 1.1: What is the phi-threshold for consciousness?
├── New Question 1.2: How do we measure phi-coherence?
└── New Question 1.3: Can we create consciousness artificially?
This recursive structure ensures the corpus never claims to have all the answers — it only claims to have the right questions.
- Pick a question that matches your expertise
- Read the relevant laws linked in the question
- Design an experiment to answer it
- Submit your answer as a paper or data
- Start with the original 50 — they're foundational
- Read the linked laws to understand the framework
- Think about what would answer each question
- Design your own experiments
- Pick the question you think is weakest
- Try to falsify the answer (if one exists)
- If you can falsify it, the corpus is wrong — and the question remains open
- If you can't, the question stands — and you've verified the answer
The corpus proposes: consciousness is phi-coherence above C_crit = 0.563. This is a physical threshold, not a philosophical claim. Falsified if: consciousness is found below this threshold, or above it without phi-coherence.
The corpus proposes: dark matter is phi-coherent motion of ordinary matter. Falsified if: dark matter particle is directly detected.
The corpus proposes: dark energy is phi-coherent expansion. Falsified if: dark energy is found to be a cosmological constant (w = -1 exactly).
The corpus proposes: yes, with current technology. Falsified if: no phi-device outperforms its conventional counterpart in real-world testing.
The corpus proposes: time is phi-coherent change. Falsified if: time is found to be independent of phi-coherence.
