Experiments

What was tried

We do not claim systems are perfect. We document how they fail — and when they refuse to fail loudly enough.

  1. INCONCLUSIVE 2024

    Convergent results meta-review

    Decide whether four independent unusual results imply a shared cause.
  2. POSITIVE 2023

    Reversibility four-test battery

    Determine whether a deployed system can be withdrawn by its operators.
  3. POSITIVE 2022

    Eleventh-week vigilance

    Measure attention across eleven-week isolated rotations.
  4. POSITIVE 2019

    Unit 9 autonomous stop

    Validate unattended traverse stop conditions.
  5. MIXED 2016

    Experiment Delta

    Observe holdover failure modes when all external timing inputs are removed.
  6. INCONCLUSIVE 2014

    Signal 14 reprocessing

    Confirm whether archival survey data contains structured emission.
  7. MIXED 2011

    Atlas refusal period

    Operate an analysis platform that declines unsourced answers.
  8. INCONCLUSIVE 1998

    NORTHLINE recovery

    Recover Relay NORTHLINE after silence.
  9. INCONCLUSIVE 1981

    Observation 7A

    Characterise clock-comparison residuals at a temporary northern site.
  10. NEGATIVE 1981

    Generator harmonic exclusion

    Exclude site power as cause of Observation 7A residual.
  11. NEGATIVE 1981

    Enclosure thermal correlation

    Test whether enclosure temperature cycles explain the 1,270 s residual.
  12. NEGATIVE 1981

    Travelling standard return test

    Determine whether the residual travelled with the imported standard.
