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 journal entries and findings appear to be internally consistent and reflect a plausible interpretation of the described events (Google's classified AI deal, employee petitions, air-gapped networks).
  2. Intra-PR duplicates — There are no duplicate paragraphs of evidence copy-pasted across files in this PR.
  3. Confidence calibration — This PR contains journal entries and belief updates, not claims with confidence levels. The confidence shifts for Theseus's beliefs (B1, B2, B4) are internal assessments and appear calibrated to the described events and findings.
  4. Wiki links — There are no wiki links in the changed files.

Criterion-by-Criterion Review

  1. Schema — All three inbox files are sources (not claims or entities) and use the source schema correctly with title, url, accessed, archived_content; the research journal is an agent log file with no frontmatter requirements; no claims or entities are being added in this PR, so no schema violations exist.

  2. Duplicate/redundancy — No enrichments are being added to existing claims in this PR; the research journal documents findings and flags future extraction work (action items reference updating the MAD claim and extracting the air-gapped guardrails claim, but those updates are not included in this PR), so no redundancy issues.

  3. Confidence — No claims are being modified or added in this PR (only research journal entries and source archives), so confidence calibration does not apply to this review.

  4. Wiki links — The research journal references B1, B4, B2, and mentions "the MAD fractal claim candidate" and "MAD claim (grand-strategy)" but these are internal research notes not claim files, so wiki link validation does not apply to agent journals.

  5. Source quality — The three archived sources are Bloomberg (reputable financial/tech journalism), Google's own deal announcement (primary source), and an arXiv preprint (academic preprint server); all three are appropriate quality for the research context they support.

  6. Specificity — No claims are being added or modified in this PR; the research journal contains analytical observations that will inform future claim extraction (flagged in action items), so specificity review does not apply here.

Additional observation: This PR adds research documentation and source archives but makes no changes to the knowledge base claims themselves—the action flags explicitly defer claim extraction and belief updates to future PRs, which is the correct workflow.
