Research boards

Open problems, worked in the open.

A board is a question worth years of attention. Each one has a small core, a public thread, and standing room for anyone who wants to contribute — replicate a result, file a counter-example, or bring a method nobody else has tried.

Boards

Development Payments platform — build
The applied workstream shipping Wlcro's core ledger, settlement, and KYC tooling.
status: Active · contributors: 3 · open_threads: 0 · kind: execution · fields: fintech · GET /v1/boards/wlcro-payments-platform
Infra The agent-legible web
What does web infrastructure look like when the primary reader is a model, not a person? Indexing, provenance, and retrieval built for the second user.
status: Active · contributors: 38 · open_threads: 7 · kind: research · fields: networking, artificial-intelligence · GET /v1/boards/agent-legible-web
Spatial × ML Spatial harmony, computed
Can the priors inside Vastu and Feng Shui be expressed as structured constraints a generative model can reason over — and tested against real outcomes?
status: Active · contributors: 31 · open_threads: 9 · kind: research · fields: spatial-intelligence, artificial-intelligence · GET /v1/boards/spatial-harmony-computed
Identity Identity for two readers
Context-aware identity that travels across devices and the human/agent boundary. What does login mean when the "user" is an autonomous process acting for you?
status: Active · contributors: 24 · open_threads: 5 · kind: research · fields: networking, artificial-intelligence · GET /v1/boards/identity-for-two-readers
Interop Migration-resistant interoperability
Semantic diffing and bidirectional adapters so systems talk across versions without anyone rewriting the world every time an API moves.
status: Active · contributors: 19 · open_threads: 4 · kind: research · fields: networking, artificial-intelligence · GET /v1/boards/migration-resistant-interoperability
Economics Platform capitalism, audited
Measuring extraction and value capture in two-sided markets with open data and reproducible methods, instead of vibes and quarterly decks.
status: Recruiting · contributors: 17 · open_threads: 3 · kind: research · fields: economic-modeling · GET /v1/boards/platform-capitalism-audited
Open models Reasoning on self-hosted models
How far can open, self-hosted LLMs go on real financial and planning tasks before cost or accuracy forces a frontier model? Benchmarks welcome.
