Public research programme
Latent Fields
Exploratory work on cognitive architecture, ethical agency, AI alignment, and the failure modes that appear when necessary cognitive capacities are absent or unstable.
Research drafts, prototype systems, and public records. None of the work listed here has been accepted for peer-reviewed publication.
Programme map
One research record, several working surfaces.
Each project has a distinct purpose and maturity. The public site keeps their relationships visible without presenting drafts or prototypes as settled results.
Research record
Public does not mean proven.
Repositories, releases, diagrams, and manuscript drafts are made public so their reasoning can be inspected, challenged, reproduced, or rejected. They should not be read as proof of scientific validity, clinical efficacy, or a finished safety system. Since 1 October 2026 the REE code and detailed design are held privately, for welfare reasons explained on the REE site.
Current figures from the REE Assembly governance pipeline, including results that count against its own claims.
