THE WORK SO FAR / 03

How a life
gets built.

Before ALEPH can become a continuing intelligence, her parts have to survive exacting engineering work. This is the dated trail of systems, checks and ideas moving toward that whole.

ALEPH / 2026SELECTED RESEARCH & ENGINEERING MILESTONES
20 AUG 2026

A full implementation map

An authoritative audit found all 30 planned implementation and unit-check surfaces present. The audit also separated those surfaces from narrower integration, end-to-end and scientific evidence.

21 AUG 2026

The release boundary tightens

A release-native executable, fail-closed artifact verification and direct Lean release worker established stronger boundaries for checked work.

23–25 AUG 2026

A durable research path takes shape

Event replay and organism coherence work joined scientific episodes to predictions, experiment representation and a governed action chain.

26 AUG 2026

One action across pulses

A bounded autonomous cycle connected committed state, an authorized action, its observed result and planning for the next pulse.

BY 09 OCT 2026

Resources that are checked and reused

The research engine recorded native verification, actual use and delayed reuse of some generated resources, creating pieces of the Level 3 evaluation path.

21 OCT 2026

A local engine repair passes software checks

A research operator repair improved material binding and inspection. Reported checks included formatting, compilation and 121 passing operator tests, with six ignored.

22 OCT 2026

Memory V2 gains a deeper local foundation

Standalone memory work covered source-aware capture, episodes, association, recall, consolidation and autobiographical work history. A bounded synthetic stage passed its acceptance checks.

The point of every component is the day it becomes part of the same continuing life.
FROM PARTS TO ALEPH
THE NEXT WORK

Make the parts
meet.

The next decisive advances are about integration and use across real time.

Memory needs to reach perception, planning, language and the self model. Emotion needs to influence attention and action while preserving the truth boundary. Research resources need protected tests of usefulness and transfer. Conversation needs to become presence grounded in a persistent, lived state.

Each step matters because an ACI cannot be assembled as a collection of isolated demonstrations. ALEPH has to continue as one system.

WHERE THIS STANDS / 23 OCT 2026

A dated record, still growing.

These milestones summarize dated source records; this website did not rerun the cited engine or memory checks. The October engine repair passed ordinary software checks while physical qualification remained open. Memory V2 results used synthetic histories and had not been integrated with the live organism. Completed Project Level 3 or 4 discovery, causal emotional life and a continuous whole-system ALEPH have not been demonstrated. The homepage’s ≈25% is an editorial estimate of the full vision.
