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

Proof search in Lean as a structured problem space: centralized MCTS maps proof families and basin structure, while distributed MCTS tests how coordination 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.

Material Memory in Physical Collectives
status:concept

Memory-like behavior in decentralized physical collectives under local material updates and path-dependent adaptation.

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.

lean-mcts-learning
type:researchstatus:operational

Offline training and reranking over exported Wonton Soup run traces.

k-semantics-reference
type:researchstatus:active

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

Blog

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