Hypotheses

Active

A hypothesis here is a prediction that could turn out to be wrong, stated before the run that tests it. If it cannot be wrong, it belongs in the conceptual framework as an assumption instead.

Standing

untested, supported, refuted, retired. A refuted hypothesis stays on the site with its refutation recorded; deleting it destroys the most useful part of the record.

Ordering rule

The date on a hypothesis page must precede the date on the experiment record that tests it. This is checked by eye at review time, and it is the only thing separating a prediction from a description written afterwards.
