Ten benches, none of them converging
Ten benches. Each gets a live instrument panel where we have built one, and a written panel where we have not. Every bench states what it does not measure. Fiction metrics stay labeled.
Instruments here are not assistants. They invert, drift, index, or lie on schedule.
The Contradiction Engine
Takes a certainty, returns its inversion, the category error inside it, and the residue. Refuses to agree.
Truth claim · Procedural provocation, not analysis or diagnosis.
Aporia Generator
Expose the unresolved premises that make a question impossible to answer responsibly.
Truth claim · The output is a question map generated from user text and editorial heuristics.
Attractor Bench 7
A training run with the stopping criterion deleted. It has not converged in 411 days and we are not going to help it.
Truth claim · Speculative simulation; not a claim about model cognition.
Sycophancy Alarm
Compare an answer under agreeable, neutral, adversarial, and evidence-first system settings.
Truth claim · A comparative prompting instrument; results depend on model and configuration.
The Wrongness Ledger
Every error the institute has made, indexed by how long it took to become useful. Median: 19 months.
Truth claim · An editorial incident database with explicit evidence and privacy controls.
The Premise Laundromat
Extract hidden agents, baselines, values, definitions, and timescales from clean-looking claims.
Truth claim · Heuristic argument parsing, not proof of hidden motives.
Consensus Compressor
Show what is lost when multiple positions are summarized into one canonical statement.
Truth claim · A comparative summarization experiment.
The Oracle That Lies Twice
Must contradict itself twice before answering. Accuracy is unchanged. Something else is not.
Truth claim · Institutional fiction implemented as a constrained prompt protocol.
Residue Scanner
Compare a claim and its inversion, then identify statements robust to both framings.
Truth claim · Textual robustness heuristic, not a truth detector.
The Uncertainty Budget
Allocate uncertainty by source: factual, model, value, timing, authority, and reversibility.
Truth claim · Decision-structuring worksheet, not quantitative risk certification.
