AR-001 (heuristics A/B test) designed but blocked on model access. Haiku too weak (template placeholders instead of prose). Daily 9AM reminder cron set. Pipeline tested: 22/23 stages completed.

AR-001 needs a capable model. Haiku completed 22/23 pipeline stages but produced template placeholders instead of real prose. Need either: (1) Claude Code re-authenticated, or (2) OpenAI API key. Daily 9 AM reminder cron set. Benjamin is the only one who can unblock this.

AR-001: Heuristics A/B test โ€” 140 tasks across 7 domains. Heuristic blocks vs prose vs control. Blind scoring.

Self-referential loop โ€” We invented the format โ†’ test if it works โ†’ results improve the format โ†’ improved format improves watchers.
โ—‹
Karpathy loop integration โ€” Use autoresearch pipeline to refine Orbital reports iteratively.

The Fork (proposed experiment)

call_splitSubstrate Identity

Hypothesis: fork one agent into two substrates. Does identity follow the files or the model?
