What shipped

September research update

A corrected vision-language release, the approved Digital Finance author copy, and current work on multi-agent evaluation.

Dissensus is now an IASEAI affiliate

Accepted into the affiliate network of the International Association for Safe and Ethical AI, listed alongside MIRI, METR, FAR.AI and MATS Research — with a plain account of what affiliation does not mean.

Two additions, and a plainer open door

Helena Dye joins as operations associate, a standing partnership with the Sineidocracia movement, and a clearer account of how to work with the lab — at any capacity, as an individual or as another group.

Accepted at Digital Finance

Multi-moment crypto event study: directional under curation, not distinguishable from zero under dependence-robust inference. A self-correction that survived peer review.

Dissensus Ltd: the lab has a legal shape

Dissensus is incorporated as a private limited company in England and Wales; the research stays open.

The Trident: three ways a claim fails, counted properly

A pocket-sized diagnostic for single claims, a Lean 4 core that checks the count, and a framework that failed its own test and printed the repair.

The Born Rule, Demodulated

Notes on a speculative preprint: measurement as finite-window demodulation plus threshold detection, and the square in |ψ|² as the signature of an energy detector.
