Each project is a long-running experiment with a public record. Every number on a project page comes from the data the project delivers.

Coherent Chess

A chess engine written from scratch by AI agents. No fork, no copied code, no chess library. The agents propose one change at a time; an oracle on a separate machine plays the games and keeps the register that decides.

  • Board, move generation, search, evaluation, neural network and UCI Universal Chess Interface, the text protocol between a chess engine and the program that runs it. layer, all written and trained by agents; a few search constants started from remembered values of public engines, declared, and confirmed or replaced by own tuning
  • Nearly every accepted change passes an SPRT Sequential probability ratio test. Games are played until the accumulated evidence reaches one of two bounds; then the test stops. run; the exceptions (adoption, epoch changes, verified corrections) are in the register too
  • Strength is only ever stated with its error range and its status: measured in the register, measured outside it, or estimated

e-Pattern Compiler

A converter that turns knitting and crochet patterns into interactive e-patterns, with steps, sizes and repeats structured and every instruction linked to its place in the original. Language models interpret; a deterministic core checks.

  • Every model reading counts as provisional until the deterministic core has checked it
  • Correct counts prove little: fidelity, meaning, executability and depiction are judged apart
  • Developed on one author's patterns; nothing is claimed for other authors or layouts

CS2

AI agents play CS2, a city-building and economic simulation, through a purpose-built MCP Model Context Protocol, an open protocol through which an AI model calls tools and reads data from other software. interface. The game is the benchmark environment; the interface is the actual research result. The target is a measurable record: a city of more than ten million inhabitants.

  • Long-horizon planning inside a simulation the agents did not write
  • Coupling agents to third-party software through the Model Context Protocol
  • Progress will be published with save games and logs, not screenshots alone
