Progress
This page is the public record of Psyche’s research plan: the phases that started or finished, the
gates that were decided, the dates that changed and the hash commitments made. A new row appears
when the plan records an event. The tables are written from
tools/research_plan.json, the only source of the plan’s dates, and
nothing in them is typed by hand.
Now: P0 Novelty review and setup (2026-10-23 to 2026-11-15) · Next gate: A Novelty, 2026-11-15
Newest first. One row for each phase started or finished, each gate decided, each change recorded in the plan’s change log and each hash commitment. The plan marks a phase as started or finished, so a date that has passed does not add a row by itself.
| Date | What changed |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-23 | Phase P0, Novelty review and setup: started |
A decided gate shows only the date it was decided and what follows: the line continues to the next phase, extends, or stops. Its verdict, its evidence and the reasoning behind it stay private, under the disclosure policy, and a decision lifts no rule of the claims discipline. Every gate, with its question and its fallback, is on the decision gates page.
Commitments
Section titled “Commitments”A hash commitment shows that a file was fixed before the work it judges, without showing the file: the table holds the date, a one-line subject and the file’s SHA-256 hash, and the file itself is revealed at the time shown. How a commitment is made and checked is set out in the disclosure policy.
| ID | Date | Subject | SHA-256 | Reveal |
