Case Studies

Case studies demonstrate how the Aurora hierarchy functions in practice, applying governance, methodology, and enforcement to real research domains.

Purpose of Case Studies

Case studies serve as proofs of execution. They are not theoretical exercises, but applied research programs conducted under full Aurora constraints.

Each case study demonstrates traceability, reproducibility, and governance compliance end-to-end.

Active Case Studies

Waveframe v4.0 — Observer-Driven Cosmology

A cosmological research program exploring observer-dependent entropy, information-first spacetime emergence, and falsifiable predictions under Aurora-aligned governance.

Demonstrates: long-horizon theory development, audit-first documentation, and AI–human collaboration at scale.

Societal Health Simulator (SHS)

A sociotechnical modeling environment examining institutional entropy, disinformation dynamics, and intervention strategies.

Demonstrates: reproducible simulation workflows, parameter traceability, and governance-aligned exploratory modeling.

Relationship to Other Layers

Layer 0–1: Case studies must comply with epistemic and governance rules.
Layer 2: Execution follows AWO workflows.
Layer 3: Enforcement via CRI-CORE tooling.
Layer 5: Tooling supports execution and validation.
