Autorite / Research Program

Begin with questions.
Follow the evidence.

An open research program on continuation, representation, reachability and realized history. Cycle 01 is published; Cycle 02 is OPEN at 8/9 after the bounded RP006 result and accepted reviews.

RP006 finite audit completed and reviewed

The sole D-0016-authorized attempt covered six known RP004 constructions, eight uniform whole-field masks and two query families. All 216 truth rows, 48 projections, 120 pair/mask comparisons, 438 conflicts and 16 certificates independently replay. D-0017 accepts the finite result; RP-006 is CLOSED within that declared corpus and mask class. These classifications reproduce already disclosed examples and do not resolve Q-3 or Q-4.

Cycle 01 published: complete record

D-0012 accepts all thirteen finite obligations. Results, negative and indeterminate evidence, deviations, reviews, open questions and transition are preserved in the canonical close snapshot. The program remains open-ended; Cycle 02 is separately OPEN at 8/9 after the RP006 result, graph, synthesis, foundation, change/open and transition reviews.

DAM X report pilot and transition completed

D-0011 accepts a ten-unit archaeology pilot on the supplied secondary report. Original DAM/DAM X definitions and stronger survival judgments remain open. The transition selected a bounded lineage representation study; Cycle 02 now records RP006’s finite result while six later obligations remain open. Cycle 01 is PUBLISHED; 13 / 13 obligations resolved (100.0%).

What changed, and what remains open

D-0010 records the move from planned controls to scoped audited evidence, and the next evidence needed for each open question. Existing results and the late checkpoint deviation stay preserved. Cycle 01 is PUBLISHED; 13 / 13 obligations resolved (100.0%).

Synthesis and foundation reviews completed

D-0009 compares four scoped outcome families and retains the existing contracts and formal capabilities. Negative evidence, unresolved questions and the late checkpoint deviation remain visible. No universal theory or baseline amendment follows. Cycle 01 is PUBLISHED; 13 / 13 obligations resolved (100.0%).

Checkpoint A and graph review completed

D-0008 accepts the actual late checkpoint and scoped forward/backward traceability review. The missed gate before RP004/RP005A is documented as a timing deviation, without backdated approval. The historical graph reconstructs 33 records, eighteen declared relations, forty-five typed references and four Result traces. Cycle 01 is PUBLISHED; 13 / 13 obligations resolved (100.0%).

RP005A reviewed and completed

24 planner rows, 12 paired comparisons and 35 structural sources independently replayed. Two positive, four zero and six negative outcomes remain preserved: V1 benefits at H=1/2, with no benefit at H=4; V2 and C0 lose coverage. Pure edge removal never expands structural reachability. D-0007 closes the finite RP005A commitment after internal package review. Q-2 stays ACTIVE; Cycle 01 is PUBLISHED. 13 / 13 obligations resolved (100.0%).

RP004 reviewed and completed

864 decoder rows and 60 pair/projection comparisons independently replayed. No wrong answers: 648 correct and 216 UNKNOWN across the four representations. R3 answers all 216 specified inquiries. R0–R2 have explicit same-projection information-loss witnesses. D-0006 closes the scoped RP004 commitment after internal package review. Q-0 and Q-4 remain ACTIVE; Cycle 01 is PUBLISHED; 13 / 13 obligations resolved (100.0%).

Next research direction

RP006’s finite result, graph review, synthesis and foundation reviews are accepted. Cycle 02 continues with the transition record and close bundle. Primary DAM/DAM X definitions and stronger survival assessments remain open; the missed earlier checkpoint stays documented.

Research questionsFollow Cycle 01

RP003 finite preservation audit

11,100 paths completed and independently replayed. Local tolerance can accumulate beyond the endpoint or prefix bound; exact-feature and variation-bound controls passed. D-0005 closes the scoped package after internal review. Q-0 remains ACTIVE. Read the package review.

Read the audited preservation report

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. RP002A completed its separately authorized second confirmation: 60 units and 120 learned fits, with seven conditional decisions under the frozen analysis. The first incomplete attempt remains preserved. RP002A is CLOSED after its scoped internal review; Cycle 01 is PUBLISHED. Read the package review.

A wall-time/host-suspension clock incident stopped the one attempt. 36/60 complete units and 73 saved fit traces are preserved and audited. No aggregate decisions or VALID Result for that attempt. A separate retry was later freshly authorized. The timer guard is repaired.

2026-10-09

Confirmatory count and analysis frozen before outcomes

The calibrated eligible counts and fresh SD-only selection chose 20 replicates per world. Models, training budget, seven intervals, .01-nat margins and one four-hour attempt were fixed before confirmation.

2026-10-09

Fresh target-size variance stage completed

Five independent replicates per world and 30 learned fits completed and replayed. Only their SDs informed the frozen count rule; means remain descriptive.

2026-10-09

Fixed synthetic statistical calibration completed

All 90 fixed cells and 1.8 million trials completed. Counts 20,30,50 qualified under the declared simulation gate; simulated coverage does not guarantee actual-loss coverage.

2026-10-09

Uncertainty design and replicate-count sensitivity reviewed

An exact resampling-variance audit identifies an added within-episode term. Bootstrap tail resolution, assumed precision and runtime sensitivity are reproducible; no new samples, fits or final statistical design.

2026-10-09

Target-data-size feasibility pilot completed and audited

Three units and six fits completed in 5 minutes 48 seconds, with about 251 MiB lifetime peak process memory and no declared warning. All 50 outputs replay; n=1 per world supports no variance or confirmatory decision.

2026-10-09

Target-data-size pilot execution preparation verified

The separately gated six-fit pilot and no-variance artifact audit are implemented. Fifty-seven software tests pass; prior outputs replay. No new research training or pilot approval.

2026-10-09

Remaining budget warnings reviewed; target-size pilot proposed

A replayable validation-only diagnostic leaves all 12 prior warnings unresolved. A fresh six-fit feasibility pilot at the intended data sizes is proposed; no new observations or training.

2026-10-09

Longer-budget exploratory stage completed and audited

The separately approved 40 fits completed in about 6 minutes 24 seconds. All 322 outputs and saved predictions replay. Twelve near-cap warnings remain; no scientific Claims or Cycle resolutions.

2026-10-09

Stage-002 execution preparation verified

The longer-budget entry point and artifact audit are ready. Fifty software tests pass and previous outputs replay. The separate one-run approval gate remains closed; no new research training.

2026-10-09

Longer-budget convergence proposal prepared

A separate 300-epoch, 20-epoch-patience plan keeps models and data sizes fixed with 140 fresh seeds. Proposal checks pass; no new training or confirmatory evidence.

2026-10-09

Exploratory convergence stage completed and audited

All 20 independent units and 40 model fits completed in about 83 seconds. Artifact replay passed. Many validation traces improved near the epoch cap, so settled optimization is not established. No confirmatory decisions or Cycle resolutions.

2026-10-08

Separate convergence and replicate-variability stage prepared

A bounded exploratory plan and executable authorization gate are ready for review. Forty learned-model fits are proposed across 20 independent units; no new run has been executed.

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.
