Clear version
Reading a hypothesisalso: the clear version · clear spec · clear blocks · the experiment in time · why it is built this wayA second rendering of an experiment's specification, restructured and glossed by the Protocol Clarifier, that never replaces the original.
One shape, three consumers: the Protocol Clarifier emits it, the worker validates and stores it, and the page renders it. Its blocks answer what it runs in, what is done to it, what is measured and how, what the numbers have to show, what a positive result would change and what a null result would mean, plus a timeline, an open question stating the gap the experiment closes, and the engine's own account of why it is built this way. An experiment with no specification text at all is recorded as skipped for lack of a source, a resting state rather than a failure.
