Untaught’s physics-only experiment
Untaught presents a browser-based simulation of comet ice, asking whether intelligence could emerge without human data, planted goals, or rewards.
- For
- Readers of artificial-life and computational-physics experiments
- Worth noticing
- The page compares a browser GPU run with a CPU float64 run and marks its pre-registered no-light control as not yet resulted.
Field notes
The world is modeled as comet ice on 1P/Halley’s orbit, with no atmosphere and a rotating day/night surface; its displayed orbital and temperature figures cite external sources. Under the surface, each tile is described as a box of atoms assigned to a volunteer GPU, with interactions from ANI-1xnr and motion advanced by Newtonian steps. The page reports G1c and G1b outputs and energy errors, while noting that the pre-registered no-light control has not yet returned a result.
