Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
I. Lakatos, 1970. Criticism and the Growth of Knowledge.
Lakatos's account of science as competing research programmes, each with a hard core and a protective belt of auxiliary hypotheses, judged progressive or degenerating by whether their changes predict new facts.
What it's used for here
The inquiry-framework report uses the progressive/degenerating distinction to track whether a Voynich hypothesis gains confirmed predictions or only ad-hoc patches.
