1. Although it seems clear that we must expand our standards of proof, no single person can make an effective proposal for doing so--this interdisciplinary task must be a collaboration among theorists, philosophers, forecasters, and scientists in all fields. To facilitate such collaboration, we have created PredictionScience.com, an open community improving decision-making and strategy world-wide by developing, explicating, and/or evaluating practical predictive logics, software, formal methods, and expectations about the future. Please visit this site and consider contributing testimony or perspective to a discussion group listed there, lemmas to our predictive deduction library, development of open-source software for decision-making, or just join our mailing list to stay in touch with our progress. 

 2. It is difficult for a single author to recognize all of the issues that must be addressed to make a proposal of this scale useful and compelling. Your comments and suggestions are extremely valuable in gathering the depth of perspective that this task demands. If you can point out any weaknesses in this proposal or opportunities to improve it, please click here to email the author.

 3. Finally, you can help by bringing this proposal to the attention of other leaders in diverse fields who might offer endorsements or criticism. You can:

• Link your site to http://philosophy.wisc.edu/lang/pd.htm
• Recommend it to your on-line friends and newsgroups, and/or
• Print out Predictive Deduction: Expanding the Arsenal of Science for your off-line friends.
