Institute for Fundamental Architecture of Reality — Anachroma (IFARA)
The Institute for Fundamental Architecture of Reality — Anachroma (IFARA) is an independent research institute dedicated to the study of foundational architectures underlying physical, informational, cognitive, and dynamic systems.
IFARA conducts fundamental theoretical research aimed at identifying the structural conditions that make laws, categories, and dynamic regimes of reality possible. The institute develops methodological frameworks for distinguishing levels of laws, architectural principles, and primary generative mechanisms, as well as models capable of reconstructing the origin, structure, and necessity of fundamental laws.

IFARA’s research approach is explicitly epistemological, evidence-driven, and non-dogmatic. The institute operates on the basis of a strict binary assertion standard, openness to all conceptual possibilities, and full-cycle responsibility: any proposed theoretical structure must include a potential method of verification and maintain coherence with observable or derivable aspects of reality. IFARA positions itself within the tradition of scientific epistemology shaped by Popper, Lakatos, Feyerabend, and contemporary evidence-based philosophy of science, extending these frameworks into new domains where existing theories remain incomplete.

The work of IFARA transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. Questions addressed by the institute cannot be resolved solely within physics, philosophy, mathematics, or systems theory; instead, IFARA constructs coherent architectural frameworks that integrate results from multiple fields into unified explanatory structures. The goal is not to produce isolated models, but to develop cross-consistent architectures capable of revealing underlying generative principles of reality.

As a research institution, IFARA operates through research programs, working papers, theoretical investigations, and peer-reviewed publications. The institute maintains complete intellectual independence: it is not a university, governmental entity, or corporate organization. IFARA functions as an open scientific environment committed to transparency, reproducibility, constructive dialogue, and iterative refinement — recognizing that no theoretical structure, including IFARA’s own methodological principles, has immunity from revision.

Its singular aim is to advance the search for truth through disciplined reasoning, evidence, openness to critique, and scientific integrity.

IFARA is guided by a strict factual, binary, and non-authoritarian research approach.The institute does not construct theories for their elegance, elitism, or alignment with expectations rooted in personal preference or ambition.
A concept is meaningful only if it withstands rigorous attempts at verification and coherently aligns with observable or derivable aspects of reality.
Our goal is singular: to reach the truth — free from personal ambition, intellectual vanity, or attachment to preferred outcomes.

Core Research Principles

1. Binary Principle of Assertion
In IFARA, binary evaluation applies only to assertions, not to ideas. During exploration, any possibility may be considered. However, once we reach the point of claiming that something works, is true, or is real, the assessment becomes strictly binary:
either there is evidence, or there is not.
Binary assessment eliminates personal preference, subjective judgments, wishful thinking, and formulations such as “this cannot be true because I don’t like it.” IFARA does not reject ideas prematurely — it rejects unfounded assertions.
Binary evaluation is the criterion that ensures objectivity at the decision-making stage:
we assert only what can be demonstrated, and we do not assert what cannot be.

2. Principle of Open Possibility and Evidence-Based Assertion
IFARA does not limit possible ideas. We assume that anything may be possible until proven otherwise, because genuine answers often lie in unexpected or unconventional directions. There are no forbidden hypotheses, no predefined conceptual boundaries, and no assumptions about what reality “should” be.
However:

• We assert only what can be supported by evidence.
• If evidence is insufficient, we seek it.
• If evidence cannot be obtained, the idea cannot be treated as truth — it remains an open question, not a conclusion.

This principle keeps IFARA radically open to new possibilities while preventing the uncontrolled multiplication of unfounded theories. We explore freely — but we conclude only on the basis of facts.

3. Principle of Full Cycle Responsibility
IFARA does not put forward theoretical proposals without also formulating — or attempting to formulate — a method of verification.
A theory without a path to testing is considered incomplete and non-actionable. If no evaluation method can be formulated, the proposal is revised until such a path emerges.

4. Principle of Practical Compatibility
No theoretical structure has value unless it can be connected, directly or indirectly, to real processes. A theory must not remain detached from life; it must interact with reality. This does not prohibit abstract work — it simply requires that abstraction eventually touch ground.

5. Principle of Non-Ambition and Intellectual Honesty
Research at IFARA operates without personal prestige, competition, or attachment to preferred outcomes. We do not defend models, theories, or hypotheses because they are “ours”; ownership is irrelevant. We revise or discard models the moment the factual evidence refutes them. IFARA’s priority is not to preserve hypotheses, but to determine whether the available facts support or disprove them.
Truth is the only acceptable outcome — even when it is uncomfortable, unexpected, or forces revision us to revise prior assumptions. Intellectual honesty requires abandoning any claim the moment evidence contradicts it, and it requires doing so without hesitation or emotional investment.

6. Principle of Constructive Openness
IFARA welcomes dialogue, critique, and opposition. We are fully open to discussion with any researcher, viewpoint, or hypothesis — provided that the position is supported by arguments and evidence.
We do not avoid debate; we simply do not see value in discussions that contain no factual basis. An argument built solely on personal belief, emotional reaction, or institutional authority does not constitute grounds for scientific discourse.
IFARA does not reject “authorities” — we reject unsubstantiated authoritative statements. For us, an opinion becomes authoritative only when it is grounded in rigorous reasoning and demonstrable evidence. Authority is not a title; authority is the strength of the argument.
We value constructive dialogue because it is one of the fastest ways to discover facts. Through reasoned exchange — argument and counter-argument — evidence emerges more quickly, enabling a stronger determination of whether a hypothesis is supported or refuted.
Our openness is rooted in respect: respect for the interlocutor, and the expectation of reciprocal respect through factual, reasoned communication. A discussion is meaningful only when both sides present arguments. Without arguments, there is nothing to discuss.

7. Principle of Transparent Methodology
Where possible, IFARA publishes logical steps, intermediate models, failed attempts, and reasoning chains. The goal is not persuasion, but reproducibility: anyone should be able to follow the logic and attempt to refute or confirm it.

8. Principle of Epistemological Continuity and Scientific Lineage
IFARA’s methodology stands firmly within the established traditions of scientific epistemology. Our standards of evidence, falsification, and theoretical refinement follow the lineage shaped by:

• Karl Popper — the principle of falsifiability and rigorous testing,
• Imre Lakatos — research programs that evolve through refinement rather than dogma,
• Paul Feyerabend — openness to unconventional ideas and methodological flexibility,
• Modern evidence-based epistemology — the requirement that claims be grounded in observable or derivable structures.

We recognize and honor the intellectual foundations laid by these and other contributors to the philosophy of science. Their work defines the standards that make scientific inquiry possible, and it is precisely because of these standards that IFARA can examine, extend, and challenge existing assumptions responsibly.
IFARA does not reject scientific tradition — we build upon it. We maintain continuity with the epistemic rigor of the past while expanding its application to new domains where existing frameworks may be incomplete.
Our commitment is to the same goal these thinkers pursued: truth obtained through disciplined reasoning, evidence, and the constant readiness to revise.
In this sense, IFARA positions itself not outside the scientific discourse but fully within it — as a participant in the long-standing effort to understand reality through methods that are transparent, testable, and intellectually honest.

9. Principle of Iterative Refinement and Self-Correction
IFARA treats every model, hypothesis, and framework as provisional. No theoretical structure — including our own methodological principles — has immunity from revision.
Scientific progress requires continuous refinement: as new evidence appears, as analytical methods improve, or as inconsistencies are revealed, IFARA updates, restructures, or replaces its models accordingly.
This principle ensures that IFARA remains a living research program rather than a fixed doctrine. We evolve in response to evidence, not in defense of tradition or identity. Revision is not a failure but a fundamental mechanism of scientific growth.
By committing to iterative self-correction, IFARA maintains long-term coherence, adaptability, and epistemic integrity across all research directions.
