The question has a shape.

Questions in. Resolutions out. Every rule in the open.

Lower the signal. Keep the question open.

Evidence

The answer is still outside the chamber.

Observation begins before conviction. Every question, every resolution, every record.

The observatory opens before the market does.

Question to evidence to resolution

Three stations on the same axis. None of them close the question on their own.

Question

Questions arrive before certainty.

A published question has a shape: named outcomes, named sources, and a condition that can close it. Until those exist, the chamber stays empty.

Evidence

Let the evidence circulate.

A forecast needs air around it. Sources are listed with a timestamp field so a record can be checked, not merely cited. Calibrate the rift, not the story. Every observation has an angle.

Resolution

Pytho is built for the unresolved.

More than one path can be visible. Settlement is a published condition, not a mood. The answer remains outside the chamber until that condition is met.

Market selection principles

Nothing is admitted because it is fashionable. A question enters only when it can be observed.

Resolvable from published sources

If the observatory cannot name the records it will consult, the question does not enter. Private conviction is not a source.

Outcomes that can finish the set

Outcomes are listed before the question is open. They must be able to stand as a complete set, so resolution does not invent a leftover path.

Sources named first

Source links and timestamp fields are part of the question, not a later appendix. Observation begins before conviction.

Settlement kept distinct

How a market is open or closed is not the same as how it is resolved. Those statuses are labeled separately, always.

Source and settlement

Two definitions, held apart so they cannot be swapped.

Source

The record the chamber consults

A source is a named original record with a place to store when it was observed. Missing is not the same as zero. Stale is not the same as absent. The observatory does not average unlike units.

Settlement

The condition that closes the path

Settlement is the published rule that turns competing outcomes into a resolution. It is written before the question is open. Evidence does not abolish uncertainty; it only makes the close inspectable.

Limitations

No approved market is published. The list, the outcomes, and the source fields exist as structure so they can fill without changing shape.
This site is not a trading interface. It does not quote odds, probabilities, or prices.
Sample method notes on the notes page do not imply prediction-market access, execution, or affiliation.
Evidence does not abolish uncertainty. Pytho is built for the unresolved.

FAQ

What is PYTHO?: Pytho Prediction Observatory. Questions in. Resolutions out. Every rule in the open. Pytho names a historic place of inquiry, not a god.
What is a market here?: An approved question with published outcomes, named sources, a closing condition, and a resolution condition. None are published yet.
How does a question move?: Question, then evidence, then resolution. The stations sit on one axis. Skipping a station does not make a close.
Is this a place to trade?: No. The observatory records questions and the evidence that can settle them. It does not run orders.
What is published versus unpublished?: Until a contract address is printed on this site, treat every figure that is not a chain read as unpublished. Verify the address against this site and the official X account before sending anything.
