Question before project name
The program now separates free candidate generation from the governed transition into durable, authoritative state.
Public state transfer, not hype
A dated reportable change linked to its original evidence package. Project authority and historical boundaries remain intact.
Research Release Sep 15, 2026
Consequence -> retained distinction -> changed future selectivity. Two adversarial rounds have defined enough structure to build the smallest Formation Kernel that can prove the candidate mechanism wrong.
Research Release Sep 13, 2026
A frozen moving/carry mechanism rose from 44/64 transported-reuse seeds at x1 to 64/64 at x2 and x3, while normalized work per agent-tick declined.
September 30 working program
Exploratory drift, warrant, promotion, durable authority, contradiction, revision, and retraction.
WORKING ARCHITECTURERetention and later recruitment require separate causal receipts. CRR does not silently equal memory or learning.
WORKING MECHANISMThe learning boundary remains open across three admissible outcomes and Natural Math creator consultation.
NOT FROZENMFM, Cognitive Basin, FormationCore/Baby AI, Formation Codec, scars, contradiction, and recovery.
MIXED / COREHard admissibility, indexed susceptibility, sparse wake, graph-as-audit, and ablatable composition.
CANDIDATE RUNTIMEExact cloning, divergent histories, reversal, recovery, transplant, ablation, and cross-host controls.
EXPERIMENT PROGRAMHCC, CIR, CRO, Consequential Fidelity, provenance, contradiction, and portable formed state.
SCHEMAS / CANDIDATEResearch Query, R2R promotion control, SERA, Address Regression, prior-art subtraction, and Formation Stream.
MIXED IMPLEMENTATIONASF, PERCEPT, reference fabric, ConnectorDome, CNTM, and physical consequence sensing.
MIXED / OPTIONALEnergy reachability, dormancy, selective wake, distributed power traces, storage, and graceful degradation.
BRIDGE / TEST NEEDEDRobotics, local authority, partition/rejoin, multiple embodiments, capability declaration, and formation transfer.
CANDIDATE PROGRAMAuthority Compiler, Anti-Illogical, PIA, Guardian/RIGOR concepts, provenance, and fail-closed execution.
MIXED / BOUNDEDThe functional audit added Formation Stream, Authority Compiler, ASF, ConnectorDome, Research Query, Differential Dissolution Twin-History, Latent Role Intelligence, Ageometrics, and a distributed-power assay. It did not convert all energy, storage, or robotics work into AI. Flyshaft KESS remains adjacent only; Q* remains uncertain; the power assay remains data evidence without an AI conclusion.
A bridge is not a dependency. Energy may constrain reachable computation without being intelligence. A sensor fabric may support perception without authorizing action. A material may retain history without becoming a mind.
