02 — RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
ESSENTIAL RESEARCH BOUNDARY
Experimental research,
not religious authority.
This boundary applies to every model, experiment, result and publication produced by Q-SPACE.
NOT TAFSIR
NOT A FATWA
NOT HALAL / HARAM AUTHORITY
Q-SPACE · 02
Q-SPACE is an exploratory mathematical, geographic and scientific research project examining structures and narratives mentioned in the Qur’an. It is not Tafsir, not a Fatwa, not a determination of Halal or Haram, and does not claim to establish a new religious interpretation.
The models, equations, projections, datasets and hypotheses presented here are human constructions designed to be tested, corrected or rejected. The Qur’an and authentically established teachings of the Prophet ﷺ are not subject to validation by our models; our models are the part that may be wrong.
If a result obtained during this research appears incompatible with an explicit Qur’anic statement or an authentically established Prophetic teaching, that result must not be used to contest the religious source. Within this research framework, it means that one or more assumptions, data choices, calculations, transformations or interpretations in the model must be re-examined.
Intermediate results, simulations and experimental hypotheses must not be removed from their research context or presented as theological conclusions. Negative results and contradictions are preserved as part of the scientific record because they help identify where the model failed.
CORE PRINCIPLE
The model is tested against the source. The source is not rewritten to protect the model.
