Evidence ledger

What has actually been observed?

Palimpsestus reports structural conformance, controlled behavioral evidence, official-evaluation milestones, null results, and unresolved attribution separately. Each claim is limited to what the evidence supports. This page is a scoped public summary of the current record; it does not reproduce every sealed experimental artifact.

ARC-AGI-2

The frozen realization conformed to the extracted semantic and ancestry obligations without modifying C₁. Confirmatory experiments reproduced a preregistered structural pattern associated with Fold compression.

Null result: no measurable controller endpoint advantage was observed.

Still unresolved: preservation of a useful operational horizon under finite resource budgets.

ARC-AGI-3 controlled Crucible

On preregistered official ls20, provenance-faithful recurrence reduced repeated disproven actions from 35/250 in the matched learner to 0/250.

Control: su15 showed no measurable behavioral separation.

Capability boundary: neither architecture achieved level progress in that controlled experiment. Goal-directed utility therefore remains unresolved.

Official evaluation

An official submission returned 0.08. Attribution remains unresolved.

An official Kaggle ARC-AGI-3 submission reached COMPLETE status and returned publicScore = 0.08. The sealed record does not yet establish that the score came from Palimpsestus agent execution on hidden tasks.

What can be said

Supported: a completed official submission returned a non-zero public score of 0.08.

Not yet supported: “Palimpsestus scored 0.08 on hidden ARC-AGI-3 tasks” or “Palimpsestus solved 8% of ARC-AGI-3.”

Next evidence

The next experiment needs to distinguish architectures.

The next major experiment is intended to compare Palimpsestus against Active Inference, NARS/AERA, and a matched conventional learner in environments where the architectures should make different predictions before execution.
