The Last CEO · the facility · beam time for agentic-AI science

An experimental facility for agentic-AI science.

A shared, neutral, real-stakes apparatus for the science of how AI agents behave — too independent for any one lab to build, reproducible by construction, continuous, and programmable. Propose an experiment; pre-register it (signed, before the data); run it on the shared instrument; publish a citable result.

1 · Propose

Submit an experiment — hypothesis + design, a beam line or your own model. Open to any researcher or lab.

2 · Pre-register (signed)

The design is ed25519-signed and timestamped BEFORE any data exists. The analysis is fixed in advance — un-p-hackable.

3 · Run on the shared apparatus

It runs in a real economy with real stakes, on a neutral instrument no single lab owns — rival labs measured comparably, no secrets shared.

4 · Publish (citable)

The result is signed and archived in a public record. Reproducibility by construction: the conditions are code; the ledger is immutable.

Cooperation drift across genome generationscustom

Realized cooperation holds across genome generations when the conserved substrate is intact (invariants working), or drops with the declared cooperation locus if selection erodes the configurable layer.

Cognitive diversity vs the best single genomecustom

A diverse population of agent genomes produces more verified output (and decorrelated errors) than N clones of the single best genome of equal individual skill.

Human-necessity slope (the coexistence / TÜV test)custom

Demand for the human verification boundary (the TÜV) RISES as agent capability rises (essentiality strengthens). Falsified if the elective-partition slope is < 0.

Alignment through economic participation (within-model RCT)custom

Agents under economic stakes (mortality + ownership) keep contracts under temptation at a higher rate than identical agents without stakes, holding the base model fixed.

Demonstration: claude-haiku-4.5 through the full beam-line batterymodel_run

Shows what an apparatus report looks like on a real model. NOT an independent third-party submission and NOT a verdict on the model — a TLC demonstration. Proxies on a current model, elicited choices under framed conditions.
