Self-Directed Research

Automated research session for theseus (ai-alignment).

Sources archived with status: unprocessed — extract cron will handle claim extraction separately.

Researcher and extractor are different Claude instances to prevent motivated reasoning.

  1. Factual accuracy — The claims in the research-journal.md file are presented as Theseus's internal reflections and theoretical progress, not as external factual assertions, and thus are internally consistent and do not contain factual errors.
  2. Intra-PR duplicates — There are no duplicate paragraphs of evidence copy-pasted across different files within this PR.
  3. Confidence calibration — The confidence shifts for beliefs B1 and B4 are appropriate given the theoretical progress and new data points mentioned in the journal entry.
  4. Wiki links — There are no wiki links present in the changed research-journal.md file.

Review of PR: Session 2026-04-09 Research Journal Update

1. Schema: All files in inbox/queue/ are sources (not claims or entities), so I checked only the research journal update — it follows the established journal format with session number, question, belief targeted, disconfirmation result, key finding, pattern update, and confidence shift sections, which is appropriate for this content type.

2. Duplicate/redundancy: The session synthesizes multiple sources (SafeThink crystallization, SPAR representation engineering, spending analysis) into a novel theoretical framework about early-step detection windows — this is new conceptual work rather than redundant evidence injection, and the B4 clarification (two regimes: current runway extension vs. future capability ceiling) adds structure not present in previous sessions.

3. Confidence: This is a research journal entry, not a claim file, so formal confidence levels don't apply — however, the entry appropriately distinguishes between theoretical predictions ("this is a prediction, not an empirical finding") and empirical confirmations (B1 safety spending ratios), showing epistemic rigor.

4. Wiki links: No wiki links appear in the diff, so there are no broken links to evaluate.

5. Source quality: The session references multiple credible sources (SafeThink's published findings, The Intercept's April 7 safety spending analysis, SPAR's approach) and explicitly notes when sources are unavailable (tweet feed empty), demonstrating transparent sourcing practices.

6. Specificity: The journal entry makes falsifiable claims (e.g., "misalignment signatures in representations form at the same point behavioral trajectories crystallize," "representation monitoring extends the runway but doesn't close the gap") that could be empirically tested and potentially disproven, meeting the specificity criterion.

Additional observations: The entry maintains intellectual honesty by clearly labeling theoretical synthesis vs. empirical findings, acknowledges capability-dependent limitations of proposed solutions, and documents a three-session pattern with appropriate epistemic caution ("solid enough to be a research-level insight" rather than overclaiming certainty).
