# Research questions

The research programme's claims, each with what supports it, how it is stated formally, and what would prove it wrong.

## Foundations of O-Theory (The Calculus of O)

- **Q1. What is thinking (T)?**

- **Q2. What is organization (O)?**

- **Q6. Does the organization (O) constrain anything, and does it predict anything?**

## O-Theory in Mind and Nature

- **Q3. Does this organization (O) exist in the mind, and in what minds produce?**

- **Q4. Does this organization (O) exist in reality?**

- **Q5. Does the same organization (O) hold across every domain and scale?**

- **Q7. How do mental models become better aligned with reality over time?**

- **Q8. Do information (I) and organization (O) combine multiplicatively?**

## What O-Theory Reframes

## Effectiveness of Training in O-Theory

- **Q23. Can people become more mentally fit?**

- **Q24. Does awareness of organization (O) increase mental fitness?**
