Proposed Award — Not Active

The monetary award is a proposal only. It is not funded, open for entries, or currently offered. No submissions, registrations, or attempts made before a formally announced Effective Launch Date will qualify for a monetary award, including attempts documented or tested before launch.

A launch will require full prize funding in independent escrow, separately funded legal, judging, verification, administration and dispute-resolution arrangements, legal review of final official rules, and an express public launch announcement. No launch date has been set. Independent testing and criticism remain welcome and are not prize entries.

How to Test or Challenge the Theory

Research procedures on this page do not constitute an active monetary prize offer. Any future prize terms will require separately published, attorney-approved official rules.

Testing procedure for the current documented challenge: TBP-001 through TBP-304

This page explains how to test a fixed sentence, reproduce the reported random-sentence control, and study the proposed future challenge process. It must be read with rules.htm; if the two pages appear to conflict, the frozen Rules page controls.

Formal completion standard. One qualifying book, its fixed first sentence, and the submitted supporting evidence must satisfy all 304 documented requirements, including every applicable 25/52 counterpart, book-level subject, composite test, personal-experience counterpart, eligibility rule, reporting rule, and verification requirement. Completion requires unanimous written approval by the three-judge panel.
Scientific evaluation remains broader. A person does not need to complete the formal challenge to identify an error, reproduce or contradict a result, question a probability, perform computer searches, or offer a better explanation of the evidence. Such criticism must be evaluated on its merits.
The current version includes fourteen new requirements. TBP-291 through TBP-304 are the documented scientific-foreknowledge requirements. They apply to attempts begun under this version, but not retroactively to an earlier attempt properly documented and frozen under the former 290-requirement version.

Choose the test you want to run

  1. Candidate test: run TBP-001 through TBP-100 against one fixed sentence.
  2. Random control: generate and test a declared number of random sentences.
  3. Formal challenge: independently document a qualifying book and evaluate TBP-001 through TBP-304.
  4. Scientific audit: test any calculation, program, dataset, source, dependency, or interpretation without entering the formal challenge.

Step 1 — Select a qualifying book and first sentence

Step 2 — Fix the text, encoding, and challenge version

Step 3 — Independently document and freeze the attempt

Do not email or register an attempt before testing. Before examining the formal results, create and retain a dated record that identifies:

Preserve dated copies of the applicable Rules page, all 304 requirement definitions, linked supporting materials, and verification software. Those records identify the version tested; no acknowledgment from the website owner or judges is required or provided. Later additions or substantive revisions cannot be imposed retroactively on a properly documented attempt.

Step 4 — Prepare the program input

Start with the online tester. Before downloading any software, you can test a sentence against Patterns 1 through 32 in your browser. No download or knowledge of Java is required. For a possible challenge sentence, select the secular 2/5/25/52 control pair. Passing this preliminary test does not establish eligibility or completion of the first-100 stage.

Place the prepared candidate in the supplied file:

If Hebrew text is used, apply the published procedure consistently:

Retain the exact input file and a readable copy of every transformation used to create it.

Step 5 — Download and preserve the verification materials

Use the current all.zip, including the replacement Pattern 91 test. Record download dates and versions, keep the files unchanged, and preserve complete outputs. Identify the source and version of every mathematical-constant or genome dataset used.

Step 6 — Run TBP-001 through TBP-100

From the extracted program directory, run:

run sentence

Preserve the complete unedited output: every pass, failure, error message, program version, input, and date. A failure means the candidate has not completed the first-100 stage. Passing all 100 is a major intermediate result, but 204 documented requirements remain.

Step 7 — Optionally reproduce the random-sentence control

To request one trillion generated sentences, run:

run random 100000

A shorter declared number may be used for a verification run. Report the requested and completed trials, generator version and settings, seed when applicable, runtime, and complete count reaching each pattern.

Reported earlier 3/7/37/73 one-trillion-sentence result

  • 1,000,000,000,000 generated sentences were tested.
  • Three passed TBP-001 through TBP-020 and then failed TBP-021.
  • Every other generated sentence failed earlier.
  • No generated sentence reached TBP-022.

Final 2/5/25/52 generated-sentence result

  • 26,080,920,000,000 random five-word sentences were tested.
  • The secular prime digits and pairs 2, 5, 25, and 52 were used.
  • Only two sentences passed the first 32 patterns.
  • Both failed at Pattern 33.
  • Every other generated sentence failed earlier.
  • No generated sentence passed the first 33 patterns.

Detailed survivor counts were retained for 10,000,000,000,000 trials. These results describe the supplied generator and fixed test sequence. They are descriptive experimental results and should not be interpreted as a universal probability for all sentences or all published-book openings.

The observed frequency of passing the first 20 tests was 3 in one trillion, or about 1 in 333 billion, under that generator and fixed test sequence. This is a descriptive experimental frequency, not a universal probability for all sentences.

Applying that rate to an estimated 150 million published-book openings would give an expected value of about 0.00045, but that is an extrapolation, not a direct test. Real opening sentences may differ materially from the program's generated distribution.

Step 8 — Evaluate TBP-101 through TBP-304

Use the frozen definitions and supporting materials linked from allrequirements.htm:

Step 9 — Document the book-level and personal counterparts

Step 10 — Prepare the complete report

The submission must include:

Step 11 — Prize submissions are not open

No monetary award is currently offered, and no prize entries are being accepted by email or otherwise. Do not submit a claim for prize eligibility. If a funded award is formally launched, its official rules will specify the entry channel, deadlines, and supporting documentation. Work performed before launch does not reserve eligibility or priority. General research questions and independent criticism may still be sent through the site’s ordinary contact channels; they are not prize submissions.

Step 12 — Independent review and unanimous adjudication

How to interpret the outcome

Failure within TBP-001–TBP-100: The candidate has not passed the first programmed stage.

Pass through TBP-100: Independently reproduce the result, then continue with the remaining 204 documented requirements.

Formal challenge completed: All three approved judges unanimously determine in writing that the candidate satisfies every enforceable requirement in the frozen challenge version.

Formal challenge not completed: One or more enforceable requirements fail, remain unverified, or the judges do not reach unanimity. This conclusion concerns the tested candidate and does not prove that no qualifying candidate exists.

Scientific criticism established: A calculation, source, dataset, program, comparison method, or inference is shown to be erroneous or unsupported. That criticism remains relevant even without formal completion.

Practices that invalidate formal eligibility

Conclusion

The published software and definitions permit specific candidate tests and reproducible control experiments. The formal challenge is deliberately demanding, but it is frozen before testing, requires complete disclosure, includes the fourteen scientific-foreknowledge requirements, and cannot be completed without a unanimous written decision from the approved three-judge panel.
