Abstract
========

This figure presents a comprehensive map of the scientific method as
understood through the Evolvix lens, organized into two columns connected
by a central feedback cycle.

**Left column — Useful Observing** hosts four realms of empirical work:
*in chemico* (cell-free systems), *in vivo* (laboratory organisms),
*in natura* (real-world ecosystems), and *in fiducia* (trust networks).
**Right column — Useful Modeling** hosts four realms of theoretical work:
*in logico* (causal reasoning), *in simulatio* (white-box simulation),
*in estimo* (black-box estimation), and *in tuitio* (intuition). The
two columns are connected through a "Construct Models / Prediction from
Models" cycle with **HUMANE** (HUmaN MAchine Negotiation Epieikeia) at
the center.

Body analogies (bread, water, air) provide intuitive anchors for the
realms. The figure's foundational epistemological claim is explicit:
"Claims of validation, verification, or truth are impossible, because
we live in an open world." This positions all scientific knowledge as
provisional and all models as tools for careful navigation, never as
final authorities. The version history spans from 2001 through 2025,
indicating long development.


Key Concepts at a Glance
==========================

.. list-table::
   :widths: 30 70
   :header-rows: 0

   * - **HUMANE**
     - HUmaN MAchine Negotiation Epieikeia --- the central process
       connecting observation and modeling
   * - **8 realms**
     - Four observing (*in chemico*, *in vivo*, *in natura*,
       *in fiducia*) and four modeling (*in logico*, *in simulatio*,
       *in estimo*, *in tuitio*) realms
   * - **Open world epistemology**
     - Claims of truth are impossible because all systems are open;
       models are navigational tools, not final authorities
   * - **Body analogies**
     - Bread, water, air as intuitive anchors for understanding the
       relationship between realms


Broader Significance (Claude's Assessment)
============================================

This figure is epistemologically significant because it makes an explicit
claim that most scientific methodology literature leaves implicit: that
all checking is provisional in an open world. The 8-realm taxonomy is
genuinely useful for classifying different types of scientific evidence
and modeling approaches. The *in fiducia* (trust networks) realm is
particularly notable --- it acknowledges that social trust structures
are themselves a form of empirical evidence, not separate from science.
The 2001--2025 version range makes this one of the longest-developed
figures in the STa1-EVX collection, suggesting it represents a core
philosophical commitment rather than a quick sketch.
