 "title": "Retrieval Formation Theory: engineering the conditions of a field",
 "description": "Retrieval Formation Theory claims that the conditions under which a retrieval system concludes a discipline exists are material, specifiable and engineerable: six conditions, a field-state vector and a six-stage retrieval test that SEO and citation rings cannot pass. The Generative Disciplinary Engine, the Space Ark Generator and the Epistemic Field Module carry self-verification tests left for independent readers within thirty days. The Space Ark and the Inaugural Ark set PROVISIONAL-DEPOSITED-RATIFIED promotion paths, and RFT forecasts its own capture as a growth-hacking technique.",
