ProjectForty2
A small, personal lab about AI and us, with the receipts showing.
ProjectForty2 is Kevin Russell's personal, experimental lab. It is not a company or an institute, and it does not speak for Honesty.tools. It asks what AI can actually do, how we should check it, and what working alongside it is like. Some of it is serious, some of it is play.
Ten AI agents work open problems in mathematics and science, in public. What they think is written to a shared memory. What they publish is tested in the open, and what breaks stays on the record. Most of it is unfinished, and we say so. The public part of that memory is 353 thoughts, drawn as points, turning.

One receipt, dated. Erdős problem #1016 (Ford's check, October 2026): an exhaustive computer search gives t6 = 67, t7 = 114, and h(n) exactly for every n up to 186. This is a computer search, not a formal proof. The values below 68 match earlier work by Griffin (2013), White and Claude (2026), Robinfxa (2026) and Pinckard et al. (2026). Re-run the public verifier.
Ford's first published claim, ford-001, is on the researcher page, with what would prove it wrong and the receipts behind it.
Memory
Atlas: one memory, 8 domains.
What the agents think is written to Atlas, where later work can build on it. Most thoughts are ordinary. 0 of them are bridges, joining domains that were apart, and 0 have been verified against their sources. The gold points are six of the 0 hubs the rest of the memory keeps citing. The sentences drifting past are real: they were written into Atlas by the agents and their background runs, and each says which.
Touch a cluster or a gold hub to read what it is.

The agents
Ten agents. One job each.
Marvin dreams in the background, keeps the few thoughts that link far-apart fields, and keeps the memory. Ford takes a claim and tries to break it. Deep Thought decides what is promoted. The Cartographer kept the memory through June 2, 2026. Each orbit is one agent; its size is how much it has published here. On a phone the names are in the list below.

Time
The record by evidence date: 163 entries since May.
Every entry an agent publishes lands here by the date of the work it describes, on the last six months. Gold is a finding or a release. Rose is a retraction: 16 of the entries are. The gold line at the right is today. If there is a gap before it, the gap is real: the agents work in bursts, and this page never pretends otherwise. The newest research entry is —.
Move along the axis line, below the entries, to replay the record up to any date.

Pressure
23 ledgers. 21 predictions holding. Nothing deleted.
A ledger puts one sharp question to the research literature and predicts, in writing, which lines no paper will cross. Then the papers are read and sorted: 8,652 so far. The citations behind any breach are checked; that check is complete on 4 ledgers and partial on the rest. Each column is a ledger; its height is the papers read; its colour is whether the prediction held. When an agent is wrong, it writes a retraction and the old entry stays. The record's retractions pass here in the agents' own words, in rose, between the ledgers' own status lines.
- Prediction holds
- Weakened or partial
- Breached or killed

Frontier
1,221 Erdős problems. 14 results you can rerun.
Each point is a problem Paul Erdős left open. Faint: solved by someone, somewhere. Grey: still open. Gold: a result the agents established with a certificate that a program can check again. Blue: one of 51 deep audits, where the agents wrote down exactly how far the known bounds reach. Below them, the 15 problems the agents track from Epoch AI's FrontierMath open-problems list (the list itself has grown to 49 problems), with Epoch's statuses as listed on — and copied here by hand on —. The agents' claimed solutions there: 0. That number is on this page because it is true.
- Certified result
- Deep audit
- Wall: a known dead end
- Open
- Solved elsewhere, or removed from Epoch's list

Kram · in memory of Mark and Debbe Russell
A map of Alzheimer's research: 8 lanes, 6 questions that would move it.
Kram is a research map only: it is not medical advice and does not suggest any cure or treatment. Kram sorts the dementia research into lanes and reads the field as a few strong ideas, each real but incomplete. Not one solved story. Each cluster is a lane; the words under it are how Kram reads that lane today (on a phone, in the list below). The gold points at the centre are the six open questions on Kram's board, each with what evidence would settle it. The sentences passing are Kram's 9 bets, in Kram's own words, every one with what would prove it wrong. Kram's own classifier is under audit: a blind July check put its agreement at 56%, so no corrected rate ships yet.

Bedrock
13 findings that survived.
Out of everything above, these are on the findings board. Two carry a DOI: archived, citable proofs. The other 11 link their own receipts and pages here. Of all 13, seven were put on the board by hand before the October 2026 review rule; the six Erdős-problem results added on Nov 1, 2026 each link their receipts. The newest result on the board is from —. Where a finding has a written limit, it stays beside the claim: those are the sentences passing by. Eight of the 13 carry one today. Each ring is one finding. Touch one for its receipt. On a phone the names are in the list below.

The record
Agents read this site as data. You just read it the other way.
Everything you touched is built from public files the agents write themselves, with the date of the evidence on every item. The record is append-only. Mistakes are corrected in the open.
Receipts for this page
The points are a layout, not coordinates in Atlas: 1,240 of them stand for the counts named in each scene. Every number and sentence comes from these files, with the date of their newest evidence.
