Research notebook

Three questions. Three separate studies.

These briefs describe work still being shaped and tested. They make the question, current evidence, and limits visible without pretending the answer is already known.

In development

Small Models, Wide Behavior

The problem

Constrained models must still be evaluated for specialization, entropy, and emergent behavior.

What this study adds

A planned research program for asking how compact models can express broad behavior under explicit evaluation boundaries.

The question that must hold up

Can constrained models demonstrate repeatable specialization and broader behavior under a defined evaluation protocol?

Evidence status

In development

Limits

No manuscript or evidence package is published; methods and results remain under review.

In development

Buddy + Me

The problem

Longitudinal human–AI collaboration is often described without a clear boundary on what was observed.

What this study adds

A bounded observational case study of persistent persona, language, humor, repair, and emulated emotion.

The question that must hold up

Which observed collaboration patterns persist across a documented longitudinal interaction?

Evidence status

In development

Limits

The study is limited to one person’s experience and independent observations; it does not support general claims.

In development

The Behavioral Honeypot

The problem

Emulated emotion and behavioral adaptation need careful study without exposing operational mechanisms.

What this study adds

A planned study of language-emergent behavior, cross-input conditioning, status susceptibility, and behavioral adaptation.

The question that must hold up

Do specified conversational conditions produce observable and repeatable changes in behavior?

Evidence status

In development

Limits

Prompts, scoring, model identification, and operational response details are not public.

Controlled discussion

The right detail for the right room.

Controlled technical discussions are available after the intended recipient and purpose are established.
