Initial progress update: working prototype and scientific outreach
The project begins with a working open-source prototype rather than a purely prospective research plan.
We have implemented an initial closed reasoning loop:
source evidence → Kairos evaluation → LiminalDB persistence → RINSE reinterpretation → Kairos revalidation
The first case study examines claims derived from research on archaic introgression. The system preserved the supported association-level interpretation while preventing automatic escalation to adaptive causality where evidence for expression changes, cellular effects, organism-level phenotype, and fitness advantage remained absent.
Current technical outputs include:
versioned and machine-readable scientific claims;
explicit missing-evidence and causal-gap records;
immutable preservation of earlier interpretations;
deterministic replay and revalidation;
source and Git commit pinning;
CI-backed receipts and tamper checks;
explicit research-only, execution, deployment, and authority boundaries.
We have also requested external feedback from researchers working in computational genomics, population genetics, archaic introgression, and adaptive introgression.
The purpose of this outreach is not to claim that we have independently reproduced the underlying biology. It is to test whether the claim-lineage and causal-boundary model accurately represents how domain experts evaluate and revise scientific conclusions.

The next milestone is to incorporate expert criticism, simplify the researcher-facing workflow, and publish the first reproducible biological casebook.
