◈ What Is This Framework

The James Orion Report (JOR) Bayesian Fusion Framework is a structured, evidence-based scoring system designed to support the systematic analysis of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) reports. It applies Bayesian inference to combine three independent evidence factors — Witness Credibility, Environmental Conditions, and Physical/Sensor Evidence — into a single posterior probability estimate.

The framework is calibrated to the AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) 2024 uncertainty standards, with a default calibration constant of K=0.20 and a prior probability of 0.20 for the non-human hypothesis. These defaults reflect the current state of evidence and institutional baseline assumptions.

◈ What the Constants Mean
PRIOR_NH (0.20)
The baseline probability assigned to the non-human hypothesis before any case-specific evidence is evaluated. Set at 0.20 per AARO 2024 standards. Increasing Prior NH raises the Posterior NH result; decreasing it reflects greater skepticism and lowers the posterior.
CALIBRATION_K (0.20)
A constant that controls how strongly the baseline observation quality (SOP) offsets the likelihood of the evidence under the conventional hypothesis P(E|H). Lowering K reduces the weight given to the conventional explanation, which increases the Posterior NH. Raising K strengthens the conventional explanation sensitivity and lowers the posterior. Aligned with AARO 2024 uncertainty standards.
WEIGHT_C (0.40)
The proportional influence of Witness Credibility on both SOP and NHP scores. Higher weight increases the role of human testimony in the final posterior.
WEIGHT_E (0.30)
The proportional influence of Environmental and Observation Conditions. Reflects how much observation quality (weather, duration, vantage) shapes the evidence score. Note: the Daytime Clear hard cap for Factor E enforces a minimum floor of 0.60 rather than a ceiling, reflecting that clear daytime conditions guarantee a baseline observation quality.
WEIGHT_P (0.30)
The proportional influence of Physical and Sensor Evidence. Reflects the weight given to radar, video, physical traces, and other instrument-based data.
SOP
Solid Object Probability — the weighted composite score using the pre-flight-modifier Physical Evidence value. Represents the overall quality of the observation baseline.
NHP
Non-Human Profile score — the weighted composite score using the post-flight-modifier Physical Evidence value. Incorporates anomalous flight behavior as an additional signal before Bayesian inference is applied.
◈ Adjusting Constants & Modifiers

The Global Parameters panel allows adjustment of Prior NH, Calibration K, and the C/E/P evidence weights. These adjustments are intended for exploratory and sensitivity analysis only. Changing these values allows analysts to examine how the posterior probability responds to different prior assumptions or evidence weighting schemes — for example, testing how a more skeptical prior (lower PRIOR_NH) or a heavier weight on physical evidence affects the outcome.

For standardized, comparable case scoring, the default values should be retained. Departures from defaults should be clearly documented and justified in case notes.

◈ Important Disclaimer
⚠ DECISION SUPPORT TOOL — NOT A DECLARATION

This framework is a decision support instrument. The posterior probability output represents a mathematical estimate of how consistent the available evidence is with a non-human hypothesis, given the quality and nature of that evidence. It is not a conclusion, a finding, or a declaration of non-human or extraterrestrial origin.

A high posterior probability indicates that the observed evidence, as scored, is statistically unusual under conventional assumptions. It does not confirm the presence of non-human intelligence, extraterrestrial craft, or any specific alternative explanation. All outputs should be interpreted in the context of the broader investigative process and reviewed by qualified analysts.

This tool does not replace rigorous scientific investigation, peer review, or official reporting procedures.
