Before We Build is the universal research core. Christian Before We Build is its first developed worldview and relationship application. Cognitive Matchmaker is a possible later dating track. An application may specify commitments and language, but it must not silently redefine the core.

Definition and scope

The core owns the ontology, four-level map, evidence rules, context and safety constraints, and validation programme. An application owns its domain, normative sources, audience, practices, and decision boundaries.

Shared example

In relocation research, the universal core asks how to distinguish obligation, direction, action, and information. A Christian application may additionally ask how Scripture, vocation, church community, and mature counsel inform the obligation. Those answers are explicit specialization, not universal premises.

What can be observed

A repository page can be classified by the questions it answers, the sources it treats as normative, and the population for which its guidance is intended.

What remains a hypothesis

The four-level architecture and typological mappings remain research proposals even when an application uses them confidently as conversation prompts.

Alternative explanations

Other worldview or professional applications may operationalize the foundation differently while preserving dignity, consent, responsibility, and safety. Different commitments need not be treated as interchangeable or equally true.

What must not be inferred

Universal does not mean value-free. Christian does not mean that the entire repository is a church or dating product. Application guidance does not become empirical evidence merely by being useful.

Questions for conversation

  • Is this claim universal, worldview-specific, or domain-specific?
  • Which authority or evidence supports it?
  • Would the statement remain meaningful for another kind of pair?
  • Is the reader being asked to investigate, believe, or act?

For a researcher

Keep project definitions, normative rules, hypotheses, source attributions, and application guidance separately labelled. See Epistemic Status and Inference Limits.
