Confrontations

The scoreboard. Frozen predictions of the founding framework, dated, against scheduled experimental data. Charter rule 2 applies: no prediction is revised after the fact; verdicts are recorded favorable or not.

Open bets

Prediction (frozen) Status vs latest global fit (NuFIT 6.1, late 2025) Decided by Horizon
delta_CP = 197 degrees, operational window 182 to 212 Within about 1 sigma of the best fit (207 to 212 degrees depending on dataset) T2K + NOvA combined analyses, Hyper-Kamiokande, DUNE late 2020s to mid 2030s
theta23 in the upper octant (49.25 degrees) In tension: best fit currently 43.3 degrees (lower octant); the octant is unresolved and has flipped between consecutive fits DUNE, Hyper-Kamiokande, atmospheric data early to mid 2030s
Exactly three fermion generations Standing; any fourth-generation discovery falsifies Collider and precision electroweak data standing

Verdict log

Dated entries, appended as data arrives. Never edited, only appended.

  • 2025 (NuFIT 6.0). delta_CP best fit moved to 177 degrees; the frozen 197-degree prediction sat outside the 1-sigma range. Recorded as unfavorable at the time.
  • Late 2025 (NuFIT 6.1). delta_CP best fit moved to 207 to 212 degrees; the unchanged 197-degree prediction returned to within about 1 sigma. The prediction did not move between these two entries; the data did. In the same release, the theta23 best fit flipped to the lower octant, putting the upper-octant bet in tension. Both verdicts recorded.

Calendar notes

  • Global neutrino fits (NuFIT) have historically been released every one to two years; each release appends a verdict entry here.
  • Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE are the named deciders for both neutrino bets; first decisive oscillation datasets are expected from the late 2020s (Hyper-K) and the early 2030s (DUNE).

K₇ (formerly GIFT) is the founding framework of the Arithmon program.
