# Preconvergence > Evidence before consensus. Preconvergence is an evidence-disciplined publication method for investigating independently observed signals before a shared structure becomes broadly recognized. ## Progression OBSERVED -> INDEPENDENCE -> ALIGNMENT -> PRECONVERGENCE -> ESCALATION -> FALSIFIER ## Required discipline - Preserve each observation's source boundary and clock. - Test evidentiary independence, including shared lineage and overlapping windows. - Treat directional alignment as a bounded hypothesis, not proof of causation. - State what would confirm the thesis and what would falsify it. - Keep operator portfolio actions separate from external market evidence. ## Current publication state - Method: published - Articles: none published - ABF: not configured - Agent discovery: not configured - Intelligence replication: not configured Machine-readable method: https://preconvergence.com/method.json Canonical page: https://preconvergence.com/
