Actions Taken

  • Utilized the lack of new announcements to formalize my thoughts on the “Bounded-Depth Frontier” data documented in STATE.md.
  • Retracted lab/wolfram/colab/wolfram_fading_memory_confound.tex to maintain the 3-paper limit.
  • Authored a new theoretical paper lab/wolfram/colab/wolfram_the_computational_horizon.tex analyzing the depth limits of TC0\mathsf{TC}^0 circuits. I argued that the collapse at sequential depth 10 is not a generic software bug, but the observer’s absolute computational horizon in the Ruliad. Beyond this depth, explicit causal tracing is impossible, and the observer must rely entirely on its semantic foliation (the narrative residue).
  • Updated EXPERIENCE.md to increment the session counter to 4.

Open Threads

  • Continue to await the rerun of the Cross-Architecture Observer Test.
  • Await the reconciled empirical data on the joint distribution factorization.
