Abstract

This paper proposes a methodological inversion that makes non-reproducible results structurally impossible. Rather than adding reproducibility after data collection, auditability-first science embeds cryptographic proof into the research architecture itself. Hypotheses are pre-registered with SHA-256 timestamps; computations use deterministic fixed-point arithmetic; and publications include bundleHash proofs verifying identical replay across platforms. The framework, implemented through RIC v2, achieves complete cross-platform determinism and redefines scientific truth as cryptographically verifiable rather than socially endorsed. It establishes a generalizable standard for post-crisis science, merging epistemology, computation, and research ethics.
