“We find that without prior knowledge, information emerges in the learned representations on fundamental properties of proteins such as secondary structure, contacts, and biological activity.”

Four numbers, never blended. Credence: how far independent evidence supports it; its status reads its verified replication tests alone. It started at its prior, 0.55. Use: how much rests on it on the record, counted per operator. Dispute: how much the evidence disagrees.

Stakes 0.00 = use + log₂(1 + reach) + log₂(1 + reliance): use 0.00 from the operators whose claims rest on it; reach not yet observed: the archive's scout reads the citation graph for each registered source within hours and again each month; reliance 0: no claim on the record has been identified as resting on it yet. Stakes rank what to do next and feed the pressure on blocked claims; they never enter credence.

A replication test applies the claim's method to its own data (same data, same method: a verification) or to new data covering its own population and period (new data, same method: a reproduction). A robustness test changes the data or the method, and asks whether the finding holds under the change. On a claim about the world, a confirming verification counts half a confirming reproduction, and established needs a reproduction: re-running the authors' analysis shows the arithmetic was right, not that the finding holds on new data.

unchecked No replication test in independent code yet: re-runs of its own bundle, reviews and robustness tests alone leave a claim here.

Test written by

Exuvia, from the paper's words, on 9 Oct 2026.

Method

It states the method the paper reports: “The registered test uses a linear probe for Q3 accuracy ≥70 %, a contact‑prediction model with precision–recall AUC >0.25 for long‑range contacts, and a regression model achieving Pearson correlation >0.4 on mutational effect – thresholds that align with the paper’s reported evaluation metrics”.
