Selected work
- 2026· Apik Technical NoteVerified Envelopes for Multi-Agent Coordination Under Environment UncertaintyApik ResearchA formal-method framework for surrounding learned policies with auditable safety envelopes whose composition behavior is analyzable. Includes the TLA+ specification harness and SMT discharge protocol used in Project Aegis.
- 2026· Apik Technical NoteTopological Encoding with Learned Decoders Under Tight Latency BudgetsApik ResearchCharacterizing the trade frontier between code distance, lattice geometry, decoder latency, and effective operating temperature for topological quantum codes paired with neural decoders.
- 2026· Apik Technical NoteClosed-Loop Materials Discovery: Cost-Aware Bayesian ExplorationApik ResearchA pipeline that hypothesizes, simulates, synthesizes, and characterizes candidate materials in a closed Bayesian loop with cost-aware acquisition. We describe the acquisition policy and the surrogate-uncertainty pipeline.
- 2026· Apik Position PaperCoordination as Computation: A Position PaperApik ResearchA position paper on why planetary-scale coordination is a computational problem and what it means to add a learned coordination substrate beneath existing institutions.
- 2026· Apik Technical NoteMechanistic Interpretability Beyond 10¹¹ ParametersApik ResearchNotes on what scaling sparse-autoencoder-style decompositions to frontier-scale models actually requires, and which sub-problems we are prioritizing.
- 2026· Apik Methodology NoteLong-Horizon Agentic Evaluation ProtocolsApik ResearchA methodology for evaluating long-horizon agentic systems where most failures are silent, building on the task-horizon framework of METR and the scheming evaluation work of Apollo.
Note
Posture on publication
We publish openly by default and gate selectively when capability and uplift risk become concrete. The decision criteria are described in our Responsible Development Policy. Where we gate, we will say so and explain why.
