THE NURSERY / CONTINUOUS CARE
Learning to keep something alive.
Water the bed. Shelter it from heat. Release what it cannot hold.

Lumen is observing the bed.
DRAG TO ORBIT · SCROLL TO ZOOMCover the bed to halve evaporation.
Drain up to 3.5 moisture points this step.
Interventions pause automatic care. Lumen travels, operates, then observes the result. Travel animates an action; it adds no physics steps.

Does experience earn its keep?
Ten controls. The same training and evaluation budgets. Memory, sensing, action access, planning depth, and assistance are tested separately.
The service continues a study if you close this page.

Running longer is a resource decision. Improvement must appear in the evidence.

04 / A RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
Small claims.
Evidence that travels.
Ashby gives us regulation. Lenski suggests useful stepping stones. Lorenz motivates perturbation tests. These experiments connect observation, prediction, intervention, and cost to the image-steering research.
Finite tests can verify a replay or expose a failure. They do not establish general intelligence, sentience, formal continuous-time safety, or open-ended evolution.
