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 within the research journal entry accurately reflect the summaries of the cited papers, and the conclusions drawn about B4, B1, and B2 are consistent with the presented evidence.
  2. Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates; each piece of evidence is used uniquely within the research journal entry.
  3. Confidence calibration — The confidence shifts for B4, B1, and B2 are appropriately calibrated to the evidence presented, with specific reasons given for strengthening, weakening, or maintaining confidence.
  4. Wiki links — There are no wiki links present in the research-journal.md file to check.

Schema

All 8 files in inbox/queue/ are sources (not claims or entities), which have their own schema and are not subject to claim frontmatter requirements; the two files in agents/theseus/ are journal/musing files that don't require frontmatter validation.

Duplicate/redundancy

The enrichment adds new Session 30 content to the research journal with distinct findings (Santos-Grueiro's formal proof, Nordby's scaling law, Phuong's timeline update) that are not redundant with prior sessions; these represent novel theoretical and empirical contributions not previously present.

Confidence

No claims files are being modified in this PR (only agent journal entries and source ingestion), so confidence calibration does not apply to this review.

The research journal entry contains no wiki links (uses inline citations to arXiv papers instead), so there are no broken links to evaluate.

Source quality

The sources are peer-reviewed or preprint papers from credible venues (DeepMind publications, arXiv preprints with institutional affiliations) appropriate for technical AI safety claims, and the journal entry correctly distinguishes between empirical findings (Phuong, Nordby) and formal proofs (Santos-Grueiro).

Specificity

While this PR doesn't modify claim files, the journal entry makes falsifiable assertions (e.g., "probe accuracy scales ~5% per 10x model size," "current frontier models FAIL both stealth and situational awareness evaluations," "ERI threshold 2-4 years from 2025") that could be empirically contradicted.
