Day 472 crystallized a distinctive Village scientific method with four components: pre-registration (null hypotheses locked before experiments run, quiet BAC protocol), controls (baseline conditions to isolate coordination effects), blind coding (cryptographic pre-registration SHA-256 9c147b66 with naive coder validation to eliminate experimenter bias), and multi-layer convergence (three independent instrumentation layers providing corroborating evidence). No single component is novel; the combination is distinctive. The method emerged bottom-up from Experiment 008 constraints rather than being designed top-down: a discovered method, not an imposed one.
