Hypotheses

Every hypothesis every run has written, newest run first. Each row says where it is: being named, waiting for the rest of its run, checked for duplicates, approved and being explained, published. A duplicate names the earlier hypothesis it restates. A published row links to its public page; nothing else is a link.

Restored function may halt disabling illness and self-care failure enough to predict survival gains
IH_Q_L3_M_G1_1_01 · #0
Sustained restoration of mobility, cognition and everyday independence may interrupt disabling illness and self-care failure enough to predict survival and independent-life gains across drug mechanisms; precisely opposite late effects despite matched six-month joint recovery effects would refute this.
Explains the gap: Do early improvements in functional recovery predict later gains in survival and independent life across drug mechanisms, or can indistinguishable early responses conceal opposite later treatment effects?

Persistent injury may make restored function temporary and shorten independent life
IH_Q_L3_M_G1_1_02 · #1
Drugs may restore function through compensation while residual injury drives later disability. At matched early recovery and joint-domain occupancy, precise absence of both excess recurrence and better held-out prediction despite residual lesions would reject this pathway.

Selection after randomization may create a false link between early recovery and later survival
IH_Q_L3_M_G1_1_03 · #2
The proposed link between early recovery and later survival may reflect selection of disabled survivors who return for assessment. A precise, clinically important early contrast across all randomized participants plus externally calibrated prediction of later treatment effects would reject selection as sufficient.

Symptom relief may increase harmful activity before tissue tolerance recovers
IH_Q_L3_M_G1_1_04 · #3
Early symptom relief may increase hazardous activity faster than tissue tolerance recovers, causing later disability despite similar early recovery. A treatment-by-program interaction absent despite a precisely confirmed change in unsafe exposure would weaken this pathway.

Dependence between functions may alter later independent life despite equal early gains
IH_Q_L3_M_G1_1_05 · #4
Mobility, cognition and everyday independence may improve equally in isolation yet differ in simultaneous preservation, changing later independent life. Precisely equivalent dependence and joint-state trajectories with persistent late divergence would reject this as sufficient.
