Round log archive - rounds 0–15#
Archived from RESEARCH.md §5 in round 20, per the open-queue item on log drag. The protocol's working table keeps only the recent window; the full early history lives here unchanged.
| Round | Date | Focus | Files after | Lines after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2026-07-30 | Initial corpus - substrate, games, domains, timelines, probabilities, uncertainties | 34 | 1,195 |
| 1 | 2026-07-30 | Filled the declared-but-missing fourth input (capital); re-grounded energy and labor against mid-2026 data; promoted the root indicator table into Part VII with trigger values | 40 | ~1,800 |
| 2 | 2026-07-30 | Domain breadth - insurance, agriculture, logistics, cybersecurity, biosecurity, state capacity. 03-domains/ hit the 10-file cap and split into cognitive / physical / contested, with all inbound links rewritten | 49 | ~2,100 |
| 3 | 2026-07-30 | Method and falsifiability - Part VIII: reference classes, the three strongest arguments against the framework, resolution rules and the five dodges. Added Part 0 hub | 54 | 2,568 |
| 4 | 2026-07-30 | Robotics promoted to a directory - the swing variable for the 2030s was 37 lines. Split into the data problem, cost curves, supply chain, form factor | 58 | ~3,000 |
| 5 | 2026-07-30 | Part IX - the macro-financial channel, the largest structural hole in the corpus. Rates, prices, assets, fiscal | 63 | 3,180 |
| 6 | 2026-07-30 | Geopolitics promoted to a directory - the non-US, non-China world was one paragraph. US–China, India, Europe, Gulf, Global South | 68 | ~3,900 |
| 7 | 2026-07-30 | Demography integrated as the counterweight to Game 4; the financial governor folded back into Uncertainty 1 | 69 | 3,615 |
| 8 | 2026-07-30 | Timelines synthesized against rounds 1–7; Part V re-scored and promoted (table + reasoning + ledger); uncertainties 4–6 added (Taiwan, learned verification, correlated risk) | 74 | 4,187 |
| 9 | 2026-07-30 | Medicine promoted (diagnostics / delivery / drug-discovery / liability); indicators absorb macro, Taiwan, insurance, RSI governors; Game 1 and Game 5 expanded | 78 | 4,573 |
| 10 | 2026-07-30 | Energy sector; meaning; warfare + state capacity depth | 80 | 4,874 |
| 11 | 2026-07-30 | Winter archaeology; Game 2 pass; B10 fiscal indicator | 80 | 4,956 |
| 12 | 2026-07-30 | Cyber+bio depth; education×meaning; Part V commentary hold | 80 | 5,084 |
| 13 | 2026-07-30 | Law+finance+science; notation+dependencies | 82 | 5,353 |
| 14 | 2026-07-30 | Media+software depth; check-invariants.sh | 82 | 5,459 |
| 15 | 2026-07-30 | Ag+logistics depth; B11 meaning indicators; energy split deferred | 82 | 5,547 |
End-state counts exact at round close; intermediate approximate.
