The Replication Crisis as Epistemological Instability — Why Most Published Research May Be Statistically Invalid — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Discovered via YouTube: "Is Most Published Research Wrong?" (Veritasium) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42QuXLucH3Q Derek Muller's Veritasium video analyzes how p-hacking, publication bias, and low statistical power create systemic errors across scientific disciplines. This represents a new finding outside the E8 geometric framework — the crisis is about methodology, not mathematics — but it intersects with Andrew Caldin's work on the validity of scientific epistemology and truth-determination in complex systems.
