Physics experiment design v1
Purpose: Design a controlled discriminating experiment with calibration, uncertainty, stop, reproducibility, and safety controls.
Updated
Input
Required fields: question, candidate_models, constraints. Additional bounded context may be supplied according to contract.json.
Output
{ "experiment": <object> } where the payload validates against schemas/physicsgenesis/experiment-card.schema.json.
Substrate reuse
Compose Forge LCDL tasks: decompose_problem, llm_multi_label, llm_boolean_gate, plan_decision_pack. Use standard operators for guarded sequencing, fallback, and bounded repair.
Failure modes
- no discriminating prediction
- missing calibration route
- post-hoc analysis masquerading as plan
- unsafe apparatus detail
Verification
- JSON Schema
- hypothesis discrimination
- confounder coverage
- safety gate
The task never self-promotes, invents receipts, or upgrades empirical status without authenticated evidence.
