- Research teams evaluating autonomous empirical research
- Worth noticing
- The site reports that nine of 13 self-directed studies changed its written research rules; independent expert review has not yet happened.
Field notes
The site lays out a four-step study loop, a statistical toolkit, and a notebook that is described as including failures. It says the current investigations concern the system's own methods, not confirmed market effects, and that locked-data testing has not yet been done. Its activity panel is filtered rather than a raw log, omits routine maintenance, and may show no activity when the single research computer is off.
