Our approach

Methods

Scientific questions call for different tools. We use mathematics, formal proof, computation, and observation together.

How we investigate

Four ways of knowing

01

Mathematics

Build precise descriptions of relation, structure, continuation, and change.

02

Formal verification

Make definitions, assumptions, and mathematical results inspectable.

03

Computation

Explore models, simulations, reconstructions, and sensitivity to assumptions.

04

Observation

Connect mathematical ideas to the world through data, comparison, and calibration.

Scientific rigor

Evidence makes discovery durable.

We preserve the assumptions, methods, computation, and observations that support a finding. That record makes a result understandable, reproducible, and available for the next question.
