The entity behind Pith

Pith is a project of the Recognition Physics Research Institute, a not-for-profit entity registered in Texas. The institute funds and operates the site; it does not grade its own homework in it. Reviews are produced by a versioned machine pipeline, signed, and open to challenge by anyone, including challenges to papers the institute's own researchers write.

The institute also maintains Recognition Science, a formal research program with a Lean 4 corpus. On Pith it is a side corpus: browsable, clearly labeled, and nothing more. It is never a review criterion, never a scoring input, and never an arbiter of any judgment published here. No review outcome on Pith depends on agreement with any physics framework.
