The Habeas Corpus Field Equation: A Quantitative Framework for Scientific Rigor

This paper introduces the <b>Habeas Corpus Field Equation (H(Φ))</b>, a novel framework for quantitatively assessing the <b>empirical validity</b> of physics theories. The equation measures the <b>evidentiary weight</b> of a theory relative to its <b>theoretical complexity</b>, ensuring that <b>funding and research efforts are allocated based on empirical verification rather than theoretical speculation</b>.By applying this metric to <b>major scientific theories</b>, we classify them into <b>Fact, On-the-Line, and Dictum</b>, providing a clear <b>quantitative separation between proven science and speculative models</b>. This work aims to <b>prevent theoretical dogma</b>, <b>encourage alternative ideas</b>, and <b>redefine funding priorities</b> in modern physics.Future research will refine the framework further, potentially expanding its application beyond physics into other fields of science.
