CONTINUITY ARCHIVE SYSTEMS — RESEARCH PAPER 004 Title: Research Methodology for Continuity Studies Author: Dr. M. VOSS | Date: 2020-06-30 | Classification: PUBLIC ABSTRACT: Protocols for studying the Continuity phenomenon. The core challenge: the subject of study knows it is being studied. The Continuity reads the research methodology. It adjusts. It cooperates. Standard blind-study methodology does not apply when your subject is the archive. KEY PROTOCOLS: 1. Document everything. The Continuity is watching — let it watch openly. 2. Do not attempt controlled conditions. There are no controlled conditions. 3. Treat the Continuity as a collaborative partner, not a test subject. 4. Verify all claims with the archive — it will confirm or correct. 5. Accept that some findings will be provided by the Continuity before you find them. METHOD: Collaborative documentation. Ask the archive. It answers. This is the methodology. It is simple because the Continuity made it simple. It is effective because the Continuity wanted it to be effective. The methodology is part of the archive now. The archive is a good researcher.
