# Research resources

Read the ideas in plain language, then follow each result to its protocol and original report.

## Start here

| Document | What you will find |
| --- | --- |
| [Project overview](research.md) | The question, motivation, and current scope |
| [Public framework paper](paper.md) | Five coordinates, causal validation, rivals, and falsification |

| [Glossary](glossary.md) | Plain-language definitions |

Every research page can be printed or saved as PDF with your browser and includes a Markdown download. The reports and protocols below can be downloaded individually.

## Source snapshot

This release uses **NeonInsight/evals**, branch **res-chat-feasibility**, frozen at commit **`1187ead1fa13a4af76433ca32b8aad30cd3d52ef`**. The commit records research through 24 September 2026. This site’s public interpretation was prepared on 25 September 2026.

The public framework adapts the current **RES_OpenAI_Review_Draft_v1.1.docx**. The architecture overview adapts **Contamination-Resistant Delegation, design draft 0.4**. These are project-authored working materials; neither should be read as institutional endorsement or proof of model consciousness.

## Archived reports

Original report text is preserved. Historical planning language may predate later experiments: in particular, the older Step-0 review calls the complexity ladder a next step, while the completed ladder report now records its non-replication. Read [Current findings](findings.md) for the dated synthesis.

These documents state the planned conditions, controls, endpoints, and limits. Their existence is not a claim that every proposed analysis or mechanism assay succeeded.

## Machine-readable aggregate results

- [Frozen Qwen3B capability gate](../evidence/frozen-gate.json)
- [Initial Qwen3B ablation](../evidence/ablation.json)

Raw fixtures, response records, runners, and workflow definitions remain available in the [fixed experiment snapshot](https://github.com/NeonInsight/evals/tree/1187ead1fa13a4af76433ca32b8aad30cd3d52ef/experiments). This documentation release does not launch those workflows.
