openresearch 5c5c6f94b6 docs: record prime-Sidon honest negative (0/35 after Bonferroni)
Claude Code completed the prime-Sidon spectral detection test:
- 35 test cases
- 0/35 significant after Bonferroni correction
- Adversarial review caught a tautology in original methodology
- Null hypothesis properly added
- Negative finding is properly bounded

ENE database: session prime-sidon-negative-001 (promoted)
GitHub: commit a0d95049

This is a third measured data point for the octagon:
- Sidon sets: YES (4/4)
- Graph coloring: YES (Hoffman)
- Prime distribution: NO (0/35) ← NEW
- Graph isomorphism: NO (cospectral)
- Text: NO (3.088 b/B)

The octagon is NOT universal. It works for some problems and
fails for others. The research question: what determines which
problems have spectral signatures?

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).
