SPECTER LABS

We are an independent research lab studying recurrent structure and invariants in computational and physical systems, informed in part by Michael Levin's work on cognition across scales, from cells and tissues to artificial and collective systems.

Current Dossiers
Lenia Swarm

Flow Lenia: perturbation experiments that test whether spatially localized patterns cohere, recover, and show goal-directedness, and cartography of the genotype-phenotype morphospace they live in.

Morphogenetic Signatures in Sorting Algorithms

Sorting algorithms as dynamical systems: mechanistic signatures, perturbations, and robustness tests.

Wonton Soup

MCTS search over Lean tactic proofs: an intervention harness for proof structures and basins, and a study of distributed MCTS as a search algorithm in its own right.

Addenda
lean-sorry-repos-benchmark

Benchmark harness for scoring and verifying Lean sorry tactic proposals.

lean-sorry-dataset

Deterministic ingestion pipeline for SorryDB-compatible snapshots and benchmark indexes.

k-semantics-reference

Reworked CATWD 2.0 semantics and cross-domain calibration of K.

lean-mcts-learning

Offline training and reranking over exported Wonton Soup run traces.

equational-theories-distillation

Sub-10KB offline decision procedure for equational implication over magmas, distilled from the 4694-law implication graph.

Blog

Intervention studies in proof search, with structural comparison across runs.
