Redshift: what is observation, what is postulate
An epistemic audit of the most-cited quantity in modern cosmology — separating what the instrument registers from what the framework asserts.
Read the audit →An institute auditing the assumption stack of modern cosmology — paper by paper. Each volume separates direct observation from postulate, and traces every framework-conditional claim back to the observation that grounds it, or shows that none does.
The Institute studies the mathematical structure of physical reality. Its work concentrates on the cosmology stack: which claims are direct observations of the sky, which are postulates of the chosen framework, and which are residuals defined into existence by a model. The output is exact, source-grounded, and does not advocate alternatives — it audits.
Each folio walks the same procedure. Primary sources are quoted in their publication language. Every claim is tagged: direct observation, lab transfer, framework postulate, residual, theorem, or extrapolation. Postulates are stated explicitly and preserved as postulates. Where a claim is framework-conditional, the conditioning is shown; where the supporting observation is absent, that absence is recorded.
Volumes of the audit. Each is published in six languages; primary references are preserved in their original publication language.
