title

Global Fine-Tuning is a keystone synthesis node, not an extra scored proof.

text

This row helps readers understand the fine-tuning root-metaphysics family, but it should not be treated as independent BF pressure on top of its child or sibling rows. Fine-tuning evidence is cumulative and dependency-capped. Selection effects, deeper physical law, multiverse proposals, and measure problems must stay in view.

path

Use it to orient the question and then move to the scored rows that carry the evidential weight. Use it to ask why the physical order is intelligible and life-permitting at all, then keep it with sibling fine-tuning rows rather than counting it as an independent proof of Christ as Logos.

Caveats / Notes

Cap notes

This row summarizes the fine-tuning family for audit context. It remains unweighted and does not add an independent BF on top of active child fine-tuning rows.

Scoring note

Unweighted parent summary. Child fine-tuning rows carry score unless a future capped parent-as-replacement synthesis is explicitly approved.

Governance note

Unweighted synthesis parent; children carry any scoring.

Disposition note

Conservative calibration pass 2026-05-17: kept as an unweighted fine-tuning parent summary so it does not stack on top of active child rows.
