Every claim leaves a receipt.
A public record of Popper Labs: what was conjectured, what broke, what survived, and the machines built along the way.
catalog / shelves
Four ways into the same argument.
The genealogy follows claims through time. Thought development follows ideas across time. The universes hold the factory. Ohad’s shelf holds the theory of mind that preceded and mirrors the lab.
Genealogy
Twelve reigns, cut where the dominant claim changed. Every boundary is a refutation, not a project milestone.
Thought development
Twelve cross-era readings: the motor, the learning spine, the primitive fight, the proof crisis, the graveyard, and the open edge.
Universes
The working estate: V1 and V2 programs, samples, source surfaces, and the cell-first machinery that tested the theory.
Ohad’s shelf
The Intelligent Self-Dialectic: the mind as a simulator, decoherence as failure, and reality as the site of learning.
reading route / 001
One line through four rooms.
For a first visit, read in this order. Each room changes the unit of inspection without changing the question: what survived contact with reality?
Start with the genealogy to learn which claim owned each period and what ended it.
Cross the eras through the learning spine, primitive fight, or proof ledger.
Separate the theory’s chronology from the programs and samples built under it.
Read the mind theory beside the lab’s own conjecture, criticism, and learning loop.

catalog law / honesty
The archive distinguishes record from reading.
Era records preserve turns, dialogues, theory, and working receipts. Thought-development papers are later syntheses. Factory output shows what was built, not independent validation.
Claims and measurements here are internal unless explicitly stated otherwise. The synthesis shelf marks its own readings, documentary gaps, and unresolved contradictions.
