π― The Problem: Science is Stuck
Modern scientific research suffers from:
- Conformity bias: Researchers afraid to challenge established theories
- Cherry-picking: Selective use of sources to support predetermined conclusions
- Oversimplification: Complex phenomena reduced to single causes
- Peer pressure: Novel ideas dismissed without proper evaluation
Real example: The βserotonin hypothesisβ of depression dominated psychiatry for 30 years, driving billions in antidepressant sales, despite mounting evidence against it.
π The Solution: Triple AI Scientific Debate System
ResearchSync orchestrates structured debates between three leading AI models (GPT-4, Claude, Grok-2) with rotating roles, enhanced by real-time scientific literature from multiple sources. Each hypothesis undergoes rigorous multi-perspective analysis with quantifiable plausibility scores.
Built in 2 weeks from a couch. Imagine what it could become in professional hands.

Case 1: Challenging Fringe Theory (Orch OR)
- Hypothesis: βHuman consciousness arises from quantum interactions in neuronal microtubulesβ
- Result: System correctly identified fundamental physics problems (decoherence at 37Β°C)
- Key insight: Even without consensus pressure, bad physics remains bad physics
Case 2: Demolishing Established Dogma (Serotonin)
- Hypothesis: βDepression is primarily caused by serotonin deficiency, correctable by SSRIsβ
- Result: System cited Lacasse & Leo (2005), identified the monocausal fallacy
- Key insight: The system challenged mainstream psychiatryβs central dogma
Case 3: Exploring Scientific Frontiers (Microbiome)
- Hypothesis: βGut microbiome directly influences moral decisions via gut-brain axisβ
- Result: Score increased from 4.5 to 6/10 when consensus minimized
- Key insight: System adapts evaluation based on emerging evidence

π Role Rotation Matrix
Prevents AI bias through systematic perspective shifting:
- Creative: Proposes mechanisms with measurable parameters
- Critical: Identifies logical flaws and missing evidence
- Synthesizer: Integrates all viewpoints with plausibility scoring
βοΈ Dual Mode Analysis
- Mainstream mode: Follows scientific consensus
- Challenge mode: Minimizes consensus bias, explores marginalized theories
Not Just a Fact-Checker: A Complexity Revealer
ResearchSync doesnβt do simplistic debunking. It:
- β
Recognizes partial merits
- β οΈ Identifies oversimplifications
- π¬ Proposes richer models
- π Quantifies plausibility with nuance
Example from serotonin debate:
- β NOT: βSerotonin has no role in depressionβ
- β
BUT: βThe monocausal model is outdated; depression is multifactorialβ

Appendix: Example Outputs
Serotonin Hypothesis Demolition (Excerpt)
Grok-2: "The serotonin hypothesis is outdated. A more holistic approach,
integrating latest innovations in nanotechnology and neurosciences, is necessary."
GPT-4: "Score: 4/10. Although historically important, requires consideration
of other factors for complete understanding of this complex illness."
Claude: "This hypothesis represents a reductionist paradigm typical of 1990s
neuropsychiatry, excessively simplifying depressive disorder complexity."
Smart Trinity in Action
