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
Lenia Swarm
status:active
release:promoted

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

Material Memory in Physical Collectives
status:concept
release:promoted

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

Morphogenetic Signatures in Sorting Algorithms
status:active-writing
release:candidate

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

Wonton Soup
status:active
release:candidatescope: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.

Addenda
lean-sorry-repos-benchmark
type:benchmarkstatus:operationalrelease:promoted

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

lean-sorry-dataset
type:datasetstatus:operationalrelease:promoted

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

k-semantics-reference
type:researchstatus:activerelease:promoted

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

lean-mcts-learning
type:researchstatus:operationalrelease:candidate

Offline training and reranking over exported Wonton Soup run traces.

equational-theories-distillation
type:competitionstatus:activerelease:candidate

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.
