Status: Experimental
World Models
Deep-perception world models (DAWM): world-model experiments, phase diagnostics, failure analysis and current-belief updates.
Scope
An experimental line, consolidated from earlier Octoryn Research work, studying deep-perception world models through phase-by-phase diagnostics — treating regressions as a chain of rejected hypotheses rather than a single training failure.
