Guided pathways

Where to start

Two routes through the site depending on what you're here for. Each step builds on the last — follow the chain, or jump to any step directly.

New visitor · student

I want to understand the evidence from scratch

Start with the story, then work through the tools that quantify it.

1

Narrative · scrollytelling

Is There an IMBH?

The full argument in five sections — anomaly, kinematics, energy, detectability, verdict. Live tools embedded as you scroll.

2

Dashboard · live

IMBH Evidence Dashboard

Adjust mass, spin, and magnetic field once — all seven observational indicators update simultaneously.

3

Tool · kinematics

IMBH Constraint Stacker

Toggle published measurements on and off to see how the allowed mass window changes. The tension is visible here.

4

BZ–Kardashev Power

If the IMBH is spinning, how much energy can it extract? Slide spin and field strength to see Blandford-Znajek power in real time.

5

Falsification & Observational Roadmap

What observations would prove or disprove each claim? The instruments, timescales, and predicted signatures — if it has no entry, it isn't science yet.

Researcher · scientist

Show me the evidence and the open questions fast

Start at the constraints, work toward the formal proposals.

Dashboard · live

IMBH Evidence Dashboard

Multi-constraint overview — BZ power, radio flux, gamma signal, Penrose reservoir, spin-up timeline, mass tension. Adjust parameters directly.

2

Tool · kinematics

IMBH Constraint Stacker

Full published constraint landscape — kinematics, proper motions, pulsar timing, accretion, N-body, M-σ. Stacked on a single mass axis.

3

Falsification & Observational Roadmap

Structured map of every testable prediction — the instrument, expected signal, and timeline. Covers IMBH, MTH, and Fermi claims.

4

Workflow · staged

Closing the Constraint Window

Multi-stage calculator that walks through how each upcoming observation narrows the allowed mass range — outputs carry forward between stages.

5

Proposals · formal

Observational Proposals

Eleven working-draft proposals — neutrino, gamma-ray, radio, infrared, astrometric, and gravitational-wave channels. Each links to its relevant tools.

6

Tool cluster · CNS

Civilisational Cosmology

Three linked tools — Cosmological Natural Selection (Smolin & Vidal), MonkeyGod Monte Carlo (Stenger), and the CNS Fitness Landscape (hyperfecundity search) — plus Gough's JWST prediction tracker. Where does OC's IMBH fit in the reproductive history of the multiverse?
