# FORM — OraclesMantle

Methodology map for **geomagnetic anomaly ↔ sacred-site / civilizational** claims. Coordinate system: [FORM_PROTOCOL.md](../FORM_PROTOCOL.md) + [TRUTH_PROTOCOL.md](../TRUTH_PROTOCOL.md). **Citations:** [BOOK.md](BOOK.md). **Triad:** [README.md](README.md) · [BOUNTY_BOARD.md](BOUNTY_BOARD.md) · [WORLDLINE.md](WORLDLINE.md).

## A. The two paradigms

| Axis | Orthodox (geophysics / archaeology) | Ours (Mantle hypothesis) |
|------|--------------------------------------|--------------------------|
| **Philosophy** | Correlations require controlled causality; culture is social science | EM environment + crustal anomalies as measurable **context** for long-run cultural patterns |
| **Data** | EMAG2, observatory records, VADM stacks | Same **plus** georeferenced site tables with provenance |
| **Win** | Published null/alternative models | Honest overlay stats + registered predictions |
| **Lose** | Astrology slip | Must never substitute narrative for grid version + date |

---

## B. Head-to-head axes (seed)

| Axis | Orthodox | Mantle lane |
|------|----------|-------------|
| Null model | Random site placement | Matched controls (terrain, population) — **bounty** |
| Temporal | VADM curves vs CO₂ / climate | Same overlays + **dated** site phases |

---

## C. Murder board

| Orthodox risk | Mitigation |
|-----------------|------------|
| p-hacking on site lists | Pre-register site inclusion criteria in WORLDLINE |
| Confounding geography | Elevation / coastline / population covariates |

---

## D. What we take honestly from orthodox

- Core–crust separation and VADM literature — cite in BOOK.
- Archaeological dating — cite excavation reports or stable museum refs.

---

## E. Proof experiments

- Expand EMAG2 overlay to held-out sites; log effect sizes in WORLDLINE.

---

## F. Survey

- Pair with **21** ephemeris / solid-Earth FORM when claims touch rotation or tidal coupling.

---

## G. Adoption priority

| Priority | Item |
|----------|------|
| **NOW** | BOOK rows for every dataset version used |
| **NEXT** | FORM §B filled with numeric comparisons |
| **LATER** | Cross-link **29** if circaseptan / Jovian coupling is asserted |

---

## H. Assessment

The Mantle is **not** a bypass of geophysics — it is a **test** of whether large-scale EM context belongs in the same evidence chain as the rest of the vault. Keep orthodox **strong**; use FORM to show where the gap is measurement, not mystique.
