Definitions and boundaries
Research FAQ & Glossary
A plain-language reference for GreenTheDream terminology, research stages, evidence labels, publication status, software status, and validation boundaries.
Clear language prevents overclaiming.
This glossary exists so readers can separate what the lab is proposing, what has been simulated, what has been published, what is ready for prototype planning, and what would require direct experimental validation.

Core rule: ambitious ideas are presented with their assumptions and limits visible.
Core evidence terms
Research Status Labels
Theory
A formal or developing model with stated assumptions, definitions, and mathematical structure. Theory is not automatically a measured result.
Simulation
Numerical behavior produced under selected assumptions, parameters, and boundary conditions. It is evidence about the model, not direct proof that nature behaves that way.
Experimental Validation
A result supported by reproducible physical measurement. This label is reserved for direct measurement evidence, not inference from publication or simulation alone.
Common Questions
Does publication mean the claim is proven?
No. Publication creates a citable scholarly record. GreenTheDream still labels whether a result is theoretical, computational, software-based, prototype-ready, or experimentally validated.
What is scalar-torsion cosmology?
It is a theoretical modeling direction where scalar dynamics and torsional geometry contribute to the effective description of cosmological evolution. On this site it remains theoretical and computational unless stated otherwise.
What does auxiliary scalar-like coupling mean?
In the plasma-resonator study, it is a phenomenological model channel used inside the control framework. It should not be read as discovery of a new fundamental scalar field.
What would make the work stronger?
Independent replication, corrected derivations, parameter sensitivity studies, comparisons to established models, clear failure criteria, hardware-in-the-loop tests, and direct measurement where applicable.
