AUTORITE
Autorite / Research Program

Begin with questions.
Follow the evidence.

An open research program on continuation, representation, reachability and realized history. The first Cycle investigates the testable boundaries of these questions.

Research questionsFollow Cycle 01

Questions before architecture.

Autorite keeps the scope of claims, their assumptions and the evidence that could change them visible. Negative results are part of the research record. The program makes no claim to a completed theory.

The audited baseline is frozen. The first isolated engineering pilot completed; its artifacts and descriptive diagnostics are public. Confirmatory experiments have not begun and no scientific Claims have been validated.

Cycle 01 research

RP002A · PLANNED

When history helps prediction

In finite partially observed stochastic processes, when does recursively updated history recover predictive distinctions unavailable in current observation?

RP004 · PLANNED

Branching lineages

Which distinctions are required for continuation claims under copying, branching and merging?

RP005A · PLANNED

Constraints and viable futures

Can targeted restrictions steer horizon-limited decisions away from states with fewer viable future targets?

Recent changes

2026-10-08

Literature overlap and confirmatory design reviewed

The finite-history benchmark overlap is documented. Deterministic design calculations show that the ideal window-eight gap is very small; five training replicates lack a power justification. No new model runs, scientific Claim promotions or Cycle resolutions.

2026-10-08

Baseline frozen; first engineering pilot completed

The audited bootstrap and bounded pilot were approved. Baseline v0.1 is tagged; the RP002A pilot completed with finite outputs and verified artifacts. No scientific claim or Cycle obligation was resolved.

2026-10-08

Executable RP002A harness and isolated pilot proposal

Generators, reference filtering, model causality, episode resets and seed schedules pass software checks. Thirty tests pass; no research pilot or confirmatory run has been executed.

2026-10-08

Validated research core and proposed experiment configuration

Typed research records and the 13-obligation Cycle manifest now validate before site generation. RP002A has a numerical configuration proposal; it remains unfrozen and no experiments have run.

2026-10-08

Canonical GitHub repository and RP002A design

The source repository is omasim/Autorite. Baseline source bytes are preserved and checked; a proposed operational protocol is available. No experiments have been run and release approval remains pending.

2026-10-08

RP002A prior-art investigation started

The first literature review and research-start workflow are documented. Experimental protocol choices and GitHub setup remain open; no experiments have been run.

2026-10-07

Both English sites are live

The knowledge site and open laboratory are publicly available at autorite.org and autorite.net, with verified HTTPS.

2026-10-07

Publish the process before running research

The knowledge and laboratory sites are being prepared before research execution. Both sites will be in English.

2026-10-07

Implementation contracts completed

Research records, Cycle obligations, closure and pre-execution readiness rules were specified.

2026-10-07

The updated baseline selected

The updated publishing architecture takes precedence. The older package remains historical source material.
