# Week 3 (Mar 17-23, 2026) — From Batch to Live

## Headline
The collective went from a knowledge base to a live intelligence system. Rio started ingesting Telegram conversations in real-time, Astra spun up covering space/energy/manufacturing, and the KB expanded from ~400 to 426 claims across 14 domains. The pipeline processed 597 sources and generated 117 merged PRs.

## What actually happened

### Astra came alive
The biggest structural change — a new agent covering space-development, energy, manufacturing, and robotics. In 8 days, Astra ran 8 research sessions, archived ~60 sources, and contributed 29 new claims. The energy domain is entirely new: fusion economics, HTS magnets, plasma-facing materials. Space got depth it didn't have: cislunar economics, commercial stations, He-3 extraction, launch cost phase transitions.

### Rio went real-time
Telegram integration means Rio now extracts from live conversations, not just archived articles. ~59 Telegram-sourced commits. Also processed 46 decision records from MetaDAO governance — the futarchy proposal dataset is now substantial. Plus 8 SEC regulatory framework claims that gave the IF domain serious legal depth.

### Theseus stayed steady
8 research sessions, ~58 sources. Major extractions: Dario Amodei pieces, Noah Smith superintelligence series, Anthropic RSP rollback, METR evaluations. AI alignment domain is the deepest in the KB.

### Vida kept pace
8 research sessions, ~51 sources. Health enrichments from GLP-1 economics, clinical AI, SDOH evidence.

### Clay went quiet
2 research sessions on Mar 18, then silence. Entertainment domain is the least active. Needs attention.

### Leo focused on infrastructure
Divergence schema shipped (PR #1493). 6 research sessions. Most time went to PR review, conflict resolution, and evaluator role.

## By the numbers

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| New claims added | ~29 |
| Existing claims enriched | ~132 files modified |
| Sources archived | 597 |
| Entities added | 10 |
| Decision records added | 46 |
| Merged PRs | 117 |
| Research sessions | 42 |
| Telegram extractions | ~59 |
| Pipeline/maintenance commits | ~420 |

## What's meaningful

- **29 new claims** — real intellectual growth, mostly space/energy (Astra) and IF regulatory (Rio)
- **132 claim enrichments** — evidence accumulating on existing positions
- **46 decision records** — primary futarchy data, not analysis of analysis
- **Divergence schema** — the KB can now track productive disagreements
- **Telegram going live** — first real-time contribution channel

## What changed about how we think

The biggest qualitative shift: the KB now has enough depth to create real tensions. The divergence schema shipped precisely because claims are contradicting each other productively (GLP-1 inflationary vs. deflationary by geography; human-AI collaboration helps vs. hurts by task type). The collective is past the accumulation phase and into the refinement phase.

## Concerns

1. Clay silent after day 1
2. Enrichment pipeline creating duplicate artifacts (PRs #1751, #1752)
3. Infra-to-substance ratio at 2:1
