A project beyond the session.
What changes when unfinished work can survive a restart without becoming an instruction to act?
Memory that matters to what happens next.
The important question is not how much a system remembers. It is what remembering changes.
Sometimes the instrument is wrong.
An uninterpretable endpoint is not a failed mind. Why we preserve the mistake in the measurement.
Replay is a method. Not a mind.
Deterministic histories make causal questions tractable. They do not answer every question about intelligence.
Ambition without a shortcut through evidence.
Implementation, observation, and consciousness are different claims. A serious research program keeps them distinct.
The option not to act.
A continuing system needs room to defer, reconsider, and stop. More activity is not always more agency.
A render is not a listening judgment.
Creative work offers a concrete test of provenance: an artifact, a comparison, and a decision are different things.
