A place for unsellable truth. Not to persuade. To remember.

The Gluten Project is a methodological corpus developed by Pascal Becker Hoff between 2024 and 2026. It is built around two core frameworks that operate together: Pascalism as the method for testing claims, and Ripple Theory as the ontology of transfer beneath that method.

Pascalism formulates truth as TRUTH(C) = D ∧ I — a claim is valid only if it survives destruction by public sources (D) and remains internally consistent (I). Ripple Theory grounds this method in a single ontological claim: transfer is the only quantity. What we call matter, energy, information, behaviour, institutions, and ideas are readings of transfer at different scales. From these together emerges a three-layer diagnostic that tests claims on truth, intent, and control-investment.

The method is applied across institutional analysis. The Monarchy testcase examines hereditary structures through the diagnostic. System III analyses cognitive filtering. System IV documents fiscal transfer asymmetries in the Dutch welfare state.

The work is hash-anchored under i-DEPOT 155199 and published openly with explicit invitation to falsification. Origin is locked. Method is testable. Each publication carries SHA-256 verification with the original hash document available on request.

The corpus is not built to persuade. It is built to be tested, broken, or used. What survives destruction stands. What does not, falls.
