Research roadmap / evidence before chronology

Every result has
a gate before it.

This is the laboratory’s dependency graph: seven stages that turn a live chess signal into a reproducible mechanism claim. Select any stage to inspect what it needs, what it produces, and what we still refuse to say.

Current frontier

External-validity collection is still active for DeepSeek. Downstream instruments are being built and checked, but the terminal freeze remains the hard gate.

States describe evidence authorization, not percentage complete.
01 Live collection

Selected research gate

Adaptive ladder

How strong is the complete agent under one frozen way of playing?

The ladder measures the system in motion: a model must inherit the consequences of its own earlier decisions. It gives us the phenomenon to explain, but not the explanation itself.

Operating doctrine

Build downstream.
Claim upstream.

01

Parallelize instruments

Software, analysis, and public explanations can advance while collection runs.

02

Serialize evidence

No downstream result may silently outrun the artifact it depends on.

03

Publish refusals

A closed gate is a scientific result when its reason is explicit and testable.

04

Separate states

Observed, provisional, preregistered, and hypothetical claims never share a label.

Follow the evidence,
not just the score.
