Stage 6 – Reading the curve you joined

This stage asks what the curve you joined establishes, now that your own dot is on it. Both pages are short, and both are more useful after Task 5 than before it.

Work through	What you do	Timing
The multiverse and its critics	Where the idea came from, the three purposes that a multiverse can serve and why they pull apart, and the critical positions of 2025–26 read against the course grid.	60 minutes
The multiverse: the one-correct-analysis position	Section 4 deserves its own sitting. Grant the argument for a moment and ask what would follow for the specification that you preregistered in Task 5.	30 minutes
Reading a specification curve	Why 840 estimates are not 840 independent tests, what a permutation design would supply, and what stands without one.	45 minutes

By the end of the stage you can say what the curve you joined establishes about the claim, what it does not, and what would have to be run for it to establish more.
