Buried,not yet grown.

Four questions I can't put down. None of them has an answer yet — this page exists so the unfinished ones are visible too. Brush the soil off a card to read what's under it.

World models × emotion

If a model has a world model, does understanding emotion require having a body in it?

STILL UNANSWERED

I can't state this precisely enough to be wrong about it, which means it isn't a research question yet.

A website that maintains itself

Can a site be held as structured state plus a dependency graph, so publishing one essay updates everything that depends on it?

STILL UNANSWERED

No answer for verification. If the site edits itself, I don't yet know how I'd notice that it had started lying.

Cognitive OS

Can a person's way of thinking be held as a structure a machine can read — without flattening it into a profile?

STILL UNANSWERED

Every structure I write down turns out to describe that person last month. Nothing I have models the fact that the shape itself keeps changing.

A verifier meta-framework

Which judgements can a machine actually make, and which ones is it only pretending to make?

STILL UNANSWERED

I can name the three kinds. I can't yet say where the line falls in a case nobody has seen before — the only place the distinction matters.

Seeds become trees on the blog, and occasionally fruit in products. If one of these is your question too, I'd rather think about it with someone.
