SPECTER LABS

We are an independent research lab studying recurrent structure and invariants in computational and physical systems, informed in part by Michael Levin's work on cognition across scales, from cells and tissues to artificial and collective systems.

Current Dossiers
Morphogenetic Signatures in Sorting Algorithms
status:active-writing

Sorting dynamics as morphogenetic systems, with mechanistic analysis and robustness assays.

Wonton Soup
status:active
scope:expansion

Intervention framework for proof-search structure: centralized MCTS maps proof families, basin stability, and search efficiency, while distributed MCTS tests how collective control changes access to that landscape.

Lenia Swarm
status:active

Controlled studies of persistent forms and behavior in Flow Lenia, aimed at identifying candidate proto-cognitive structure.

Addenda
lean-sorry-repos-benchmark
type:benchmarkstatus:operational

Benchmark harness for Lean `sorry` tactic proposals, with split policy, scoring, and verification protocols.

lean-sorry-dataset
type:datasetstatus:operational

Deterministic ingestion pipeline for SorryDB-compatible snapshots and benchmark indexes.

k-semantics-reference
type:researchstatus:active

Implementation for reworking CATWD 2.0 semantics and calibrating K across domains to better understand its properties.

lean-mcts-learning
type:researchstatus:operational

Offline training and reranking over exported Wonton Soup run traces.

equational-theories-distillation
type:competitionstatus:active

Compact decision procedure for equational implication over magmas, distilled from the 4694-law implication graph into a sub-10KB offline cheatsheet for SAIR's Stage 1 benchmark.

Blog

Intervention studies in proof search, with structural comparison across runs.
