FORGE Scientific Discovery Engine

FORGE operates a continuous scientific reasoning loop. Initial implementations will be entirely simulated. Autonomous scientific discovery will not be claimed until demonstrated.

Target Architecture Loop

1. OBSERVE
2. QUESTION
3. HYPOTHESIS
4. SIMULATE
5. EXPERIMENT DESIGN
6. HUMAN / AUTHORIZED EXECUTION
7. RESULTS
8. ANALYSIS
9. VERIFICATION
10. KNOWLEDGE UPDATE
11. NEW HYPOTHESIS

Benchmark Tasks

• Hypothesis generation
• Experiment design
• Simulation execution
• Result interpretation
• Competing hypotheses
• Evidence evaluation

Note: Every scientific claim must have exact provenance tracing back to the raw data and the agent that generated the hypothesis.
