How to read this page

Three ways to read this page. Precise is the document itself, exactly as it is written in the repository. Plain and Clear were written for this website to help you meet that document — they are about it. They are not it, and they are not evidence.

Eighty-four pages about the colony. Each agent is an Elixir process holding a generative model and doing inference, attached to a body that logs into a Minecraft world as an ordinary player. Around that sit the broadcast suite that films them and the runbooks that keep the whole thing running. There are typed specifications for each organ of the model, plus the world and genome specs. There are also the adversarial review personas used to attack a proposed change before it ships.

It is for the reader curious how a running system is put together and how it is held to account. The accountability half is the more distinctive. There is a lab protocol governing evidence and attribution, and a claim fence that restricts the vocabulary a claim is allowed to use. There is a public gate log. And there is a standing invitation to reproduce any verdict from the commit and the seed named in its receipt.

Start with the public read, then the lab protocol, then the falsification invitation. If you want the mathematics rather than the operations, go straight to the typed organ specs.

What it is not: a description of a mind, and not all one kind of document. A large part of this corpus is design and planning — specs marked as proposed rather than applied, organs designed but not built, plans that were later superseded — and each page states which it is. A specification is not a running system, and these pages are careful about the difference; the reader should be too. Eight documents were withheld from publication because they describe private infrastructure.

Your browser cannot switch reading levels, so the document itself is shown.

Precise — the source document

This is the document. Rendered from the repository at the commit above, with nothing rewritten for the web. A gate re-renders it on every deploy and fails the build if a single byte differs.

Source of truth: evidence/gates.ndjson (append-only NDJSON, one row per gate, schema production/schemas/gate_row.schema.json). Do not edit this file by hand. It is the rendered view of the ledger. To change a verdict, append a new row to evidence/gates.ndjson (never mutate an old row) and re-render with node viewer/render_gates.cjs.

Verdict vocabulary (canonical, never percent-scored): PASS / PARTIAL / FAIL / WITHHELD / PENDING. Evidence classes: A = independently reproduced, B = observed-with-artifact, C = command-output, Sec = security-relevant-unproven, pending = not-yet-established.


Live gate ladder

110 unique gates (207 total rows in the ledger; 97 are historical/superseded revisions of the same gate name). Current tally by name: 93 PASS · 4 PARTIAL · 1 FAIL · 12 PENDING.

sha256 4141adb6979034c9 — of the original file, so what was ingested stays checkable.

Plain — written for this website, not the source document

Written for this website — not the document. This is a plain-language retelling, written to help you meet the document. It is not the source, and it is not evidence. It has not yet been checked by a person. (or choose Precise in the reading-level control above)

This page is a rendered table, not the record itself. The real record is a file that is only ever added to, one line per gate, where no old line is ever changed. To change a verdict you append a new line and re-render the page. It says, in bold, not to edit this file by hand.

Above the table sit two short vocabularies. Verdicts are words and never percentages: passed, partly passed, failed, withheld, and pending. Evidence is graded too, from independently reproduced at the top down to not-yet-established at the bottom.

Then comes the ladder itself. Every gate the project claims appears with its phase, its verdict, its evidence class, and a link to the file recording what was run, whose bytes carry the evidence. A summary line gives the tally, and is careful to distinguish the number of separate gates from the number of rows, because many rows are older revisions of the same gate.

What makes it worth reading is that the failure and the waiting rows sit in the same list as the passes.

Clear — written for this website, not the source document

Written for this website — not the document. This is a clearer retelling, written to help you meet the document. It is not the source, and it is not evidence. It has not yet been checked by a person. (or choose Precise in the reading-level control above)

This is a rendered view of a ledger, a list added to and never edited, and it says so at the top. The ledger itself is an append-only file with one row per gate and a published schema. Nothing on this page may be edited directly. Changing a verdict means appending a new row and re-rendering, which means the history of a verdict is preserved rather than overwritten.

Two vocabularies are declared before any result appears. Verdicts are drawn from a fixed set of words and are never scored as a percentage. Evidence is also classified. It separates a result that was independently reproduced from one that was observed with an artifact, and from plain command output. It separates both from a security-relevant claim that is unproven, and from something that has not yet been established at all. That second vocabulary is the interesting one, because it lets a passing verdict still be marked as weakly evidenced.

A summary line gives the tally by name, and it is careful to say that the row count is larger because many rows are superseded revisions of the same gate. Stating both numbers, rather than one, is what keeps a backlog from being confused with the history of a backlog.

The rest is the table. Each row names a gate, the phase of work it belongs to, its verdict, its evidence class, and the file recording what was run, which carries the evidence. The gates span very different kinds of work: the mathematics and behaviour of the agents, the studio and broadcast surfaces, and network and naming changes. Then there is a long run of gates about honesty itself, whose names describe a display refusing to show a green it did not measure, or refusing to imply a claim no code enforces.

Several rows are pending, which the vocabulary defines as written down in advance but not yet run. Several are partial. One is a failure, and it is left in place rather than removed. That is the point of the page: the adverse rows are not filtered out of the view.
