THEORY OF OBJECTS. ARTICLE 24. METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING THE DENSITY OF OBJECTS (P) TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE VECTOR OF PARAMETERS: CLASS-SPECIFIC THRESHOLDS, LEVELS OF EVIDENCE, DEGRADATION KINETICS, AND VALIDATION

This article presents an open, reproducible, and scientifically sound methodology for calculating the density of subject balls (PP), the first of the two indices of the theory of subject balls. The PP is defined as the number of unique bioavailable beneficial molecular species in 100 g of product or 100 ml of liquid in a specific state. The methodology proceeds from the central ontological position of the theory: a product is not a category, but a vector of parameters, including the name, variety, origin, method of production, condition, freshness, and storage conditions. Only the totality of these parameters determines the metabolic profile. The methodology introduces a formula for calculating PP as a function of a vector: the basic value of PP for the variety and region, multiplied by the coefficients of production, freshness and storage, taking into account the bioavailability of each compound. Three coefficients are introduced: K-production (artisanal, industrial, refined), K-freshness (kinetics of polyphenol degradation), K-storage (temperature, light, oxygen, packaging). In addition, class-specific concentration thresholds, a four-level proof system A/B/C/D, a category of dose-dependent molecules, an interexpert reliability procedure with a threshold κ ≥ 0.7, bootstrap-confidence intervals and validation through metabolomic markers are established. Not single numbers, but ranges for typical vectors and examples of specific batches are published.
