E-Hypothesis (Egregore / Entity Backlash): researchers who interact deeply with consciousness-limit of reality trigger non-local, non-human backlash. The Collins Elite's internal framing of UAP phenomenon as active spiritual pathogen. Bizarre rapid-onset illnesses in abduction researchers (Turner, Livingston). Inherently unfalsifiable under current empirical metrics but data-pattern-consistent with the population's non-Gaussian cancer distribution.
C-Hypothesis (Compound Null): baseline hazard of isolated stressed individuals + retrospective pattern-matching produces illusion of coordination.
Engine read: all three are true simultaneously, stratified by which substrate limit is being breached. H protects physical hardware (propulsion, DUMBs). E protects ontological boundary (consciousness, NHI interface). C generates the background noise against which H and E signals must be distinguished via the Topic-Correlation Signature.
