Meeting concluded — written summary
The pilot session of 30 September 2026 has concluded. The exchange below was between Osman Yıldız and the AI-supported scientific evidence-check role; it does not constitute independent scientific validation or attendance by invited experts.
- Calculation: AOs is the average interval between consecutive menstrual starts, measured in hours. The proposed center, AOs − 365 hours, must be fixed prospectively before pregnancy outcomes are known.
- Tolerance: ±12–24 hours is not yet a validated exact rule. A first study should record distance from the center continuously and preregister thresholds and analyses.
- Measured exposure: In a natural-pregnancy cohort, the measurable starting point is the date and time of unprotected intercourse; exact fertilization time was not observed. The three-day wait and renewed protection 24 hours before the next expected period are application safety margins, not biological thresholds.
- Cohorts: Natural-pregnancy and IVF/ICSI cohorts must remain separate. IVF/ICSI data may independently test the fertilization-to-birth interval.
- Independence: Eligibility, the primary health outcome, confounders and statistical methods must be defined by independent researchers before outcomes are examined.
- Falsifiability: A verified IVF/ICSI live birth more than 266 days after fertilization would contradict the absolute duration claim. If adequately powered independent studies find no reproducible association between preregistered SCS timing and outcomes, the timing hypothesis should be regarded as unsupported.
Next step: Independent, preregistered research that is equally open to negative findings. The complete written question-and-answer record appears below.
