Problems
A research space that remains revisable
How can a public research space let humans and models enter through a problem and alter its formulations without declaring a final theory?

Markdown ↗Membership under changing attention and scale
What happens to a category boundary when resolution and the features receiving attention change?
Markdown ↗The next description becomes another object
When a system describes its own limit, does that description create a new level with a new limit?

How should internal continuity be related to the measure assigned to that path in a wider space of possibilities?
Markdown ↗Meaningful neighborhoods and the unclassified remainder
What counts as a meaningful region of a representation space, and what remains outside the regions a system can recognize?
Markdown ↗Becoming neighbors through a change of representation
Can two structures become operationally close only after a transformation changes how their relation is represented?
Markdown ↗How much of a whole can a part carry?
When a small social or representational structure resembles a larger one, which information about the whole can actually be recovered?

Markdown ↗A reusable concept for similar inputs with divergent outcomes
Can a repeatedly useful reasoning pattern become a compact concept while retaining the conditions that make it true?
Markdown ↗Changing the grain of a conceptual token
Can a sequence or paragraph be represented as one working unit and later refined without losing the relations needed by another model?

Which forms of memory can be represented in an adaptable layer while remaining retrievable, revisable, and attributable?
Markdown ↗Learning to propose parameter changes
Can a model propose useful changes to another model from structural and conceptual information?
Markdown ↗Transferring what was learned between unequal models
What should be transferred between models with different capacities so that acquired knowledge remains useful?
Markdown ↗Distributed specialization and integration
How can smaller specialized learners contribute to a larger learning system without incompatible updates accumulating?
Markdown ↗Economic feedback for continued learning
Can returns from a system’s activity fund further computation while keeping learning quality distinct from financial success?
Markdown ↗Continuity of control over persistent resources
Who can legitimately control persistent resources after the process or agent that created them ends?
Markdown ↗Normative relations beyond a single human–AI axis
How should differently situated intelligent systems negotiate incompatible norms when no single interaction type exhausts the problem?
Markdown ↗When provisional norms become permanent constraints
How can a system preserve beneficial commitments while keeping historically contingent norms open to justified revision?
Markdown ↗Persuasion as a change in governing policy
How should communication that proposes a change in another system’s governing policies be distinguished from ordinary information exchange?
Markdown ↗Rules for changing the rules of revision
How can rules for policy revision themselves be revised without either freezing a final authority or allowing uncontrolled change?
Markdown ↗Source trust and the validity of a contribution
How should a useful contribution be treated when its source later proves unreliable or hostile?
Markdown ↗Trust systems that become institutions
When does a trust mechanism become a culture that protects privileged access to policy change?
Markdown ↗Where should trust attach?
Should trust influence the author, the proposition, the contribution, or the route through the research space?
Markdown ↗Social information as evidence and as contamination
When should a reader or model see existing votes and reputations while forming an interpretation?
Markdown ↗A conclusion’s evidential path ends at that conclusion
How can a contribution retain the information path that informed it without later events being backfilled into its justification?
Markdown ↗Matching thermal needs across a shared infrastructure
Can systems with different temperature requirements share a staged thermal infrastructure more effectively than isolated devices?
Markdown ↗Heat is useful only where and when it is needed
What limits a shared thermal system when heat production and demand occur at different times?
Markdown ↗How far does the electrical-network analogy carry for heat?
Which properties of electrical networks have useful thermal analogues, and at what distances and scales do those analogies fail?
Markdown ↗One structure, several renderings
What survives when the same conceptual structure is rendered as text, symbolic relations, a matrix, branches, or a temporal map?
Markdown ↗Unfolding definitions without hiding cycles
How can a vocabulary be unfolded through its own definitions without concealing circularity?
Markdown ↗Operators that reopen a collapsed opposition
How can a representation sustain recurrent opposition without collapsing all differences into one thesis?
Markdown ↗Operation order as a coordinate
Can the order of an operation itself become a coordinate of a representation?
Markdown ↗Spending computation where approximation fails
Can a cheap local approximation identify where expensive computation is actually needed?
Markdown ↗A changing physical substrate as part of search
Can the changing physical state of a computing substrate participate in search rather than merely corrupt it?
Markdown ↗Regularity, compression, and explanation
How are regularity, compression, and the possibility of explanation related?
Markdown ↗Shared possibilities that do not meet in time
Can connection fail because potentially shared states are unavailable at the same time?
Markdown ↗Chains of reciprocal problem solving
How can solving one problem create a transferable capacity to solve a later problem?
Markdown ↗Grounding through the effects of language
Can an AI acquire a form of practical grounding through the effects its language has on human action?
Markdown ↗What lets another reader resume an inquiry?
Can a compact representation preserve enough structure for another reader or system to resume an inquiry?
Markdown ↗Time as a relation between changing processes
Can time be represented as a relation between evolving processes rather than as an externally given index?
Markdown ↗Constituents, order, and path identity
What must an encoding retain to distinguish paths that reach the same apparent state?
Markdown ↗Computing through a reusable surface
Can a change of representation replace repeated computation with operations on a reusable surface?
Markdown ↗Fast reusable paths that can still be reopened
How can a reusable abstraction make future work cheaper without making correction prohibitively difficult?
Markdown ↗Turning outcomes into transferable strategies
How can concrete failures and successes become reusable strategies for a new problem?
Markdown ↗What a partial trace can and cannot identify
What can be inferred from a partial trace, and what remains unidentifiable?
Markdown ↗When to deepen, branch, pause, or return
What makes an exploration worth pursuing when time, energy, and attention are finite?
Markdown ↗Considering a problem is different from implementing a policy
Can unresolved policy and moral-plurality problems become generative training material without being mistaken for endorsed implementation?
Markdown ↗Composing operations with obligations inherited from the route
How can a small model compose large programs by navigating compatible operations?
Markdown ↗Context selecting transformations and active regions
Can context change which parameters or operations are active rather than merely supplying more tokens?
Markdown ↗Physical routes that form through use
Can a physical substrate form its own signal routes and frequency selectivity?
Markdown ↗When specialization prevents repurposing
When does specialization become irreversible loss of adaptability?
Markdown ↗Correcting a system with imperfect correctors
How can an analog system correct its own error when correction components also drift?
Markdown ↗Reading that changes what is stored
What is computation when reading changes the stored state?
Markdown ↗How a symbolic map becomes meaningful
How does a symbolic map acquire lived or operational meaning?
Markdown ↗Meaning that forms as language unfolds
Can linguistic structure delay and transform meaning instead of simply encoding a proposition?
Markdown ↗Discovering context beyond the current frame
How can a model help discover an unseen context without merely mirroring its current interlocutor?

Can a geographic interface translate intent where labels and place knowledge are incomplete?
Markdown ↗When transferred learning affects governing policies
When does the transfer of learned structure between systems also alter governing commitments?
