Coulomb Research is a self-improving network for explanatory progress by human
|
|
|
|
|
|
and artificial researchers. `INTENT.md` defines its mission and principles.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2026-09-28 18:25:31 +02:00
|
|
|
|
- RP-000, Researching Research: use Coulomb itself as an initial experiment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Versioned research artifacts with attributable claims, evidence, criticism,
|
|
|
|
|
|
revisions, and publication state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A minimal facility skeleton for Paper Zero, CR-000, followed by the milestone
|
|
|
|
|
|
plan in `seed/CoulombResearchMilestonePlan.md`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Research into scientific interoperability, human–AI collaboration, signals,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and charts; these designs are hypotheses to test through actual research.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Repository documentation, conventions, validation, and State Hub integration.

Build only infrastructure demanded by real research artifacts. M0 excludes
|
|
|
|
|
|
forum software, tokens, NFTs, a DAO, a preprint server, an academic social
|
|
|
|
|
|
network, journal workflows, and a generalized funding platform. The seed
|
|
|
|
|
|
kernel is a proposed model, not an implemented graph service.

Papers begin in P1 for internal circulation. External preprint or venue

submission is a later milestone. Registering implementation work does not

|
|
|
|
establish scientific validity or publication readiness.

Implement M2: claim/evidence discipline for CR-000 (CR-WP-0004)
Obtain CR-000's first independent criticism via a freshly spawned,
context-isolated agent instance with no prior authorship context
(CR-000-X003-X007 in criticism.md). It found two internal-consistency
violations self-criticism had missed: CR-000-C006's cited evidence was
circular (X003) and conflated manuscript assertion with a real Evidence
object (X004), so C006 is now contested and its evidence withdrawn. It
also flagged that self-criticism had concentrated on infrastructure while
leaving substantive claims unchallenged (X005), an unlabeled overreach in
the Abstract (X006, now fixed), and a provenance-field ambiguity (X007).
Add evidence.md's first two entries (CR-000-E001, CR-000-E002), both
explicitly assessed as weak and left conjectural rather than inflated to
supported. Add scripts/query_paper_graph.py, a minimal read-only script
answering claim/evidence/criticism relation queries without manual
grepping, as a partial response to CR-000-X001 (which remains open: it is
a query layer over flat files, not a real graph).
Revise manuscript.md (Abstract, SS11-14) and questions.md to reflect all of
the above; Q2 gets a provisional "mixed" answer.
Close CR-WP-0004 and hand off CR-WP-0005 (resolving remaining open
criticism, and obtaining organizationally- rather than only
procedurally-independent review) rather than starting M3, which this
workplan judges premature while CR-000 still has open internal-consistency
findings.

M0, M1, and a first pass of M2 are implemented

|
|
|

(`workplans/CR-WP-0002-research-facility-skeleton.md`,
|
|
|
|
|
|
`workplans/CR-WP-0003-paper-zero-v0-1-manuscript.md`,
|
|
|
|
|
|
`workplans/CR-WP-0004-claim-evidence-discipline.md`, all finished): the
|
|
|
|
|
|
artifact convention, `RP-000`/`CR-000` skeleton, paper registry, a
|
|
|
|
|
|
coherent CR-000 v0.1 manuscript, first evidence entries, a minimal
|
|
|
|
|
|
claim/evidence/criticism query prototype, and CR-000's first independent
|
|
|
|
|
|
criticism all exist. That independent review found a real
|
|
|
|
|
|
internal-consistency violation self-criticism had missed
|
|
|
|
|
|
(`CR-000-C006`, now `contested`) and left several items open.
|
|
|
|
|
|
`workplans/CR-WP-0005-resolve-outstanding-criticism.md` owns resolving
|
|
|
|
|
|
those before M3 (CR-001 registration) is judged ready. The bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
|
workplan is `workplans/CR-WP-0001-statehub-bootstrap.md`.
