Interactive maps, replication reports, reference tools — each built the same way: every claim sourced, every finding adversarially reviewed, delivered as a single self-contained page.

Interactive illustration

Athlone to Nottingham

A live, in-browser illustration of Tero-type (Physarum) conductance dynamics on a stylised network of OpenStreetMap roads and car ferries between Athlone and Nottingham. Watch the flow settle across the routes and see where it concentrates. It illustrates the mathematics behind Many Nets, One Field. It is not an experiment: the costs are stylised, it uses no traffic data, and it is not a navigation tool.

Research thesis

Many Nets, One Field

Nearly every mechanism behind a Physarum-style shared-field router has a precedent, in ant-colony optimisation, floor-field cellular automata, GPU agent modelling or placement practice. What we could not find, within the reach of our searches, is their combination as a label-per-net, capacity-limited router for interposer and RDL assembly, evaluated at real sizes; none of the Physarum routers we could read reports contest-suite results or overflow. A projection against current capability, not a result (revised 2026-10-02).

Verification at scale

Scaling Out Lane Parallelism

Thousands of random programs run at once on TEMPO's own gate-level netlist, each compared with an independent reference model, at up to 18,000 programs a second on a single Mac mini. Four real gaps between the reference model and the RTL found and confirmed, since resolved in the model along with eight more; the GDS built for submission, read back by an independent extractor, identical on every program run on it; a GPU-compiler bug traced to one wrong gate; and every speed-up proven identical to what it replaced before it counted (revised 2026-09-27).

Hardware reverse engineering

Retracing Two Stars

Jane Street's ASIC puzzle shipped a chip layout with every name stripped. RETRACE rebuilt its netlist from geometry with two independent extractors, recovered readable RTL proven equal to it, found an 11 by 11 Star Battle checker, and solved it two independent ways to a unique answer: (* TWO STARS *). Then the same extractor became an independent LVS for our own tapeout.

Trust-boundary audit

The Calculemus Audit

A published Trail of Bits compiler bug in Lean 4 forced an agentic theorem daemon to answer a question it could not settle from its own logs: when the system stamps Q.E.D., did a kernel decide, or did something merely say so? Nine adversarial rounds, six decision records, and the finding that the most dangerous failures were the ones that returned success.

Independent replication

NaLa Under Replication

An independent replication of NaLa and secant — two open-source tools for editing and explaining transformer attention. Every test passes and the core identity holds to machine precision, but three of the project's headline claims do not survive contact with its own code and data.
