Collapsing every AI failure into one phrase obscures more than it explains. The distinctions between reliability, security, privacy, and agentic-systems failures are not academic—they determine which solutions actually work.
A logistic term from preferential attachment on a finite pool, a quadratic term from obsolescence, and a fixed point that matches a simulation to a tenth of a per cent.
Running the pipeline on synthetic nulls and known answers before touching real data, because surprise is not evidence.
A short guide for readers of this archive, so that a benchmark is never mistaken for a derivation.
The distinction that this programme kept blurring, and the checklist I now use to keep them apart.
Prefer the theory that compresses the data and pays for its own parameters. It is Occam with an invoice.
Pointing a different agent at your own framework and telling it to recompute every number from the printed formulas.
Writing down the falsification threshold before running the analysis, so that a null result still counts.
A closed door is a result. Three of the strongest outputs here are proofs that something cannot be done.
Six labels, applied to every claim. The most useful thing in this project is not a result, it is a habit.
An honest map of everyone else working on many worlds, gravity and simulation evidence, with falsification criteria for each.
If the substrate has a discreteness scale, it has a noise spectrum. Deriving the shape is the testable part.
Blinded protocols for surface codes and matter-wave decoherence, written before any data exists.
A likelihood pipeline built so that the framework can lose. That is the point of building it.
Model cost plus residual cost, with a polynomial fit you can reproduce, because the whole plateau argument runs on this.
Where the logistic term in a saturation law actually comes from, starting from individual researchers picking combinations.
A saturated domain does not stop abruptly. It follows a double-damped curve, and later in this archive I derive where that curve comes from.
Shannon counted chess games. This counts possible knowledge states. The gap between the two is the whole reason the plateau matters.
