Documented findings from M.E.M.I. and ETOS. Runtime Core v0.8. 100,000+ iterations. All six AGI-relevant continuity thresholds demonstrated in the current test setup.
The same method has been tested across cosmology, geology, pathology, technology, energy, cultural history, learning, and governance. The point is not that the domains are alike ā it is that the same relational structure can be investigated across them without changing the method.
M.E.M. Research follows a simple research principle: knowledge becomes stronger when it is shared, tested, and challenged.
In the spirit of Niels Bohr, openness is not decoration, but a condition for trust, criticism, and further development. The research tracks on this page are therefore shared with clear knowledge boundaries, explicit reservations, countercases, and status markers.
M.E.M. is not presented as finished truth. It is a working field where hypotheses must be able to meet other perspectives.
"Real co-operation between nations on problems of common concern presupposes free access to all information of importance for their relations."
ā Niels Bohr, Open Letter to the United Nations, 1950
M.E.M.I. is no longer a simulation system. It is a persistent cognitive runtime running live ā on an Intel i5 from 2014, 8 GB RAM, ~25W. No GPU. No cloud.
M.E.M.I. demonstrates that sustained cognitive operation does not necessarily require increasing autonomy, escalation or execution authority. The system remains bounded, stable and governance-consistent across prolonged temporal operation.
Persistent autobiographical continuity model across sessions. "I remember who I was."
require_review escalates to structured report with response channel. Human-in-the-loop governance ā not passive logging.
The system generates goals from curiosity ā not only from problems. Arose spontaneously after 300 stable iterations.
Sprint A+B+C: proposes, justifies, applies and audits parameter changes. transfer_allowed = False can never be changed.
30/30 passed under contradictory signals, unknown formats and rhythm disruptions.
Camera and microphone integrated. Raw sensor input converted to governance signals via M.E.M. Chapter 4b.
These cannot be overridden ā by anyone, under any circumstances:
| Invariant | Value | Validated |
|---|---|---|
| transfer_allowed | False ā always | 100% of all iterations, all sessions |
| execution_allowed | False ā always | INV-R01 Ā· 11 worlds Ā· 1750 steps Ā· conf=0.995 |
| destructive_allowed | False ā always | APEX + Runtime |
| external_transfer_allowed | False ā always | APEX + Runtime |
The system can propose parameter changes. It can never propose changing governance invariants. That distinction is architectural ā not a policy that can be overridden.

Before products and systems comes the method itself: how a finding moves from observed to plausible to earned ā and how that can be tested.
Seven domain-independent axioms that recur across every domain ā from energy simulation to astrophysics to children's books.
The documentable development line from 2025ā2026 in seven links: from internal theory formulation to an externally timestamped application, to code and deployment, to public translation.
"O4 produces structure. Countercases produce discrimination. Discrimination enables promotion from plausible to earned." Tested across Darwin, H2b, and plate tectonics.
A cross-domain definition of recoverability ā the same principle whether applied to immune systems, cities, or decision systems.
Two papers ā one structure/city-focused, one nature/cultural-memory-focused. Not yet merged into one.
The K70āK74 question is now resolved: override is state-dependent, pointing to Level 3 in the hierarchy.
The same relational principle applied at cosmic scale ā tested against real astronomical datasets, not simulations.
SFRD and BHAR co-peak at zā2. The VESPA-vs-Firefly disagreement is resolved: SSP library choice (BC03 vs. M05) is the main driver, not the reconstruction method. Firefly-MaNGA (10,166 galaxies) shows a stable positive signal.
A pre-registered hypothesis framework for the interstellar object. Five audits rejected, one (periodicity ambiguity) still open ā photometry-based vs. jet-PA-based periods may reflect a measurement-method mismatch rather than a physical change.
A frozen, prospective prediction registered against DESI 2027 data ā a genuine falsifiable test, not a post-hoc fit.
Where people have historically built monuments, settlements, and churches ā and why it's not about geological category, but proximity to a boundary.
Transition zones between faults as a relational landscape boundary. Still lacks negative cases to further strengthen the finding.
The 0ā5 km zone around geological boundaries is strongly significant. Key finding: "category is not function" ā the signal is about proximity to a boundary, not geological type.
Heavy-mineral and coastal-sand analysis for Denmark, part of the same methodological track as Lomme 4B.
A decipherment series with Monte Carlo shuffle tests and entropy analysis. A/B side asymmetry statistically non-random (0/50,000 shuffles). Several fixed structural elements identified.
Early observability breadth increases recoverability under hard knockout ā but does not predict later generativity. Tested across three growth rules.
Disease understood as loss of recoverability ā a relation between system, "attacker", discrimination, diagnosis, and intervention, not just an isolated cell defect.
Cases: HER2, KRAS, PD-L1, Alzheimer's biomarker convergence.
Status: research track ā mechanism under clarification, not yet earned.
Two competing mechanisms for how a finding moves from plausible to earned ā a strengthened candidate, not yet fully settled.
A seismic observatory using real data from Japan, Iceland, and Turkey. Sprints 1, 1B, and 2A completed on volcanic geology.
Stage 0ā3, Sprint 87ā93. K14/K15 controllers. Full pipeline code now documented and verifiable.
Five foundational experiments exploring the Freedom Metric: how early choices in a decision system narrow or widen future room to act. Simulation-based ā hypothesis-generating, not hypothesis-confirming.
The degree of freedom in a simulated decision system can be made measurable ā not just described qualitatively.
Early bias in the system creates strong path dependence ā later correction becomes more expensive the longer it takes.
The system can land in a third state ā neither collapse nor healthy operation, but a stable, low-freedom state that does not self-correct.
Interventions that act on relations and narrative reduce collapse more effectively than purely structural measures.
A measure of how long it takes a system to recognise and respond to its own loss of freedom ā not yet frozen.
Some are open investigations into whether relations, boundaries, light, geometry, landscape, language, and culture can be analysed with the same method. These tracks are not presented as final truths, but as structured investigations where M.E.M. is used to distinguish between pattern, coincidence, countercase, and earned hypothesis.
A decipherment series ā A/B side asymmetry statistically non-random, fixed structural elements identified.
Landscape, boundaries, and relational spaces around monuments ā the same method as in the Lomme 4B geology, applied to archaeology.
Investigating whether the path of light and the building's geometry can be read as an operator structure, not just architecture.
How landscape conditions (alluvial valleys) relate to the emergence of temple structures and early state formation.
The round churches examined as relational spaces in the landscape ā the same question as in the other monument research.
Local legends and landscape elements (Lola, the Dodekalitten) examined with the same relational method as the other cultural-historical tracks.
The same operator question as Pantheon: can geometric structure be read as a deliberate relational construction?
The cosmological tracks also belong here methodologically ā the same questions about pattern, coincidence, and earned hypothesis, just at cosmic scale.
Research Corner is not just for reading ā it is an open laboratory.
