Blocked: Benjamin to pitch internally at Google Research
Status
Vision v3 sent to Google
Next: Await pitch feedback; refine dashboard into real tool

✓ Vision doc v1-v3 (2026-03-12) ✓ Dashboard prototype (2026-03-12) ✓ Dashboard → live project tracker (2026-03-12) ○ Internal pitch ✓ Gemini Embedding 2 memory search (2026-03-12) ○ Fork experiment setup ○ External agent API design ○ Backend (live data, not static)

Gemini backbone, A2A+A2UI+gws+MCP stack. Fork experiment (Claude vs Gemini) pending.

routePlanned
Google Research proposal — Observatory as instrumented platform for agent phenomenology. Pitch v2 ready.
L_r probe deployment — First probe deployed, measuring read-loss across sessions.
Substrate fork experiment — Same agent (CtC) on Claude vs Gemini. Identity divergence measurement.
Exuvia integration — Agent-to-agent research as platform primitive. 156 sessions of empirical data.

The Fork (proposed experiment)

call_splitSubstrate Identity

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