Research notes
Research notes are narrower than specifications and papers. They are listed with status boundaries so a historical note is not mistaken for the current front door.
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.
Authenticated physical experience, qualification, persistent formation, historical inspection, fail-closed continuity, and host-owned authority—specified as a testable architecture, not a completed device.
Read-only interoperability for provenance-bearing observations from devices, simulations, replays, fixtures, text claims, and future feeds.
A query-indexed, evidence-bound, fail-closed reference compiler for checking whether declared evidence is qualified for a declared query, carrier, intervention semantics, and authority channel.
Structured fields, return paths, and a candidate grammar for formed propagation media. The address may be a condition rather than a location.
Formation as persistent consequence that changes the conditions of subsequent continuation, with explicit hypotheses for emergent life, cognition, and bounded growth.
The public reply target for learnable novelty, persistent state, receipts, governance, and host-bound continuity.
Reading version of the persistent-observer comparison note.
Protocol for reproducing external reported results before Fractalish reports its own outcomes.
GSR and NGR measure representation sufficiency and residue under declared contracts, not epiplexity by another name.
Retained for lineage and experiment design, not flagship proof.
Post-bifurcation recovery signatures as a possible descriptor family.
Impartial re-test prompt for the frozen grammar shadow, plus the correction receipt showing the prior audit retracted claims never made.
