openresearch 5c01ec43ea docs: sofa × HN — combined stress test framing
The key insight: standalone they are insanely hard, together they
either melt the model or reveal structure. This is better than 3-SAT
because both components are unsolved — any result is novel.

Combined: sofa navigates corridor (continuous) AND at each step,
occupied positions form a valid unit-distance coloring (discrete).
This is the matter→light move at its deepest.

Living Documents

This folder is for rapidly evolving goals, targets, and project maps.

Unlike the formal docs in docs/research/ (which are measured, stable findings), the documents here change daily. They represent the current direction of the project — what we're aiming at today, which may shift tomorrow.

Document Types

Type Purpose Update frequency
TARGETS.md Current research targets and their status Daily
PROJECT_MAP.md What the project IS right now (not what it was) Daily
MILESTONES.md Near-term milestones with success criteria Weekly
OPEN_QUESTIONS.md Questions we haven't answered yet As needed
DIRECTION_LOG.md Why the direction changed (decision log) On change

Rules

  1. No measurement required here. These are goals, not findings. Findings go in docs/research/ with bytes behind them.
  2. Overwrite freely. The old version is in git history. Don't append — replace.
  3. One sentence per target. If you can't state it in one sentence, it's not a target yet, it's a question.
  4. Link to findings. Each target should link to the relevant docs/research/ document that backs (or refutes) it.
  5. Honesty tag. Each target gets: MEASURED (backed by data), OPEN (untested), or SPECULATIVE (no data yet).
