Theorist / Hypothesis Engine

Overview

coreason-episteme is the engine of Scientific Intuition within the CoReason platform. It acts as the "Theorist" that automates the "Eureka" moment by systematically scanning for "White Space" in the Knowledge Graph. It synthesizes weak signals from disparate papers into coherent, testable hypotheses (e.g., identifying a novel genetic target for a disease based on pathway adjacency).

Crucially, it implements a "Null Hypothesis First" architecture. Every generated hypothesis is treated as false until it survives a rigorous adversarial review process involving causal counterfactuals and patent whitespace analysis.

Core Philosophy

"Identify the Void. Bridge the Gap. Propose the Novel."

1. Gap Scanning (Negative Space Analysis): Identifies disconnected clusters in the Knowledge Graph that share high semantic similarity but lack connections.
2. Latent Bridging (The Leap): Finds "Latent Bridges"—genes or proteins that are structurally or functionally connected to the conflict but rarely mentioned in the context of the specific disease.
3. Causal Simulation (The Test): Runs a counterfactual simulation using coreason-inference to validate the hypothesis.
4. Adversarial Review (The Council): Convenes a virtual "Review Board" (The Toxicologist, The Clinician, The IP Strategist) to attack the hypothesis for safety risks, clinical redundancy, or patent infringement.

Installation

pip install coreason-episteme

Features

• Gap Scanner: Detects inconsistencies or missing links in the Knowledge Graph and literature.
• Bridge Builder: Formulates novel hypotheses by exploring the "Neighborhood" of conflicting entities and proposing valid genetic targets.
• Causal Validator: Validates proposed mechanisms using counterfactual simulations (A -> B -> C).
• Protocol Designer: Designs the "Killer Experiment" (PICO) to prove or disprove the hypothesis in a wet lab.
• Adversarial Reviewer: Critiques hypotheses using multi-perspective strategies (Toxicology, IP, Clinical, Scientific Skeptic).

# 2. Instantiate Clients

# 3. Run the Engine
