Origin of Life and Abiogenesis
Abiogenesis is a sequence of reproducible, audit-scored transitions—from chance and exogenous chemistry, through stepwise synthesis, to systems integration. Compartmentalization, replication, and information-storage remain central. All claims are star-rated, cross-referenced to LifeScore, and open to audit and continual upgrade.

Life and Evolution
SE Press: Life emerges through adaptive, empirically benchmarked thresholds—originating via stepwise synthesis and emergent chemistry, defined by core functions, and scored with transparent protocol. All claims are star-rated, evidence-linked, and challenge-ready for continual upgrade.

Is Absolute Certainty Attainable?
Absolute certainty is unattainable ★★★★★—solipsism, the map–territory problem, and perpetual protocol audit keep every claim upgradeable. In SE Press, only star-rated, challenge-ready, versioned warrant supports robust knowledge.

Are Constants of Nature Contingent?
Are universal constants fixed, or could they have been otherwise? This SE Press paper star-scores major accounts—necessity, chance, multiverse, and dynamic protocol—showing our “constants” may be spectrum-indexed, emergent, and open to upgrade via live registry and audit.

What Limits Knowledge of the Universe?
What limits knowledge? This SE Press paper maps the sensory, logical, quantum, and cosmological frontiers of what can be known. The Gradient Reality Model (GRM) and SGF show every answer is star-scored, upgradable, and audit-traceable—perfect knowledge is always just beyond the next horizon.

Consciousness: Hard Problems and New Theories
Consciousness isn’t a puzzle—it’s a live protocol of ethical, scientific, and existential urgency. This SE Press paper draws on the OSF repository to show how gradient models, empirical audits, and quantum/ecosystemic theories finally make the “hard problem” of consciousness a testable, auditable domain. With every claim evidence-boxed, versioned, and open to audit, the future of consciousness research is now open, plural, and perpetually evolving.
