"Just build it — like the lab line: first it looked good, then it grew its own standard."
docs/D000-vision.md, 2026-09-25(external site)Seven model writers from different vendors work on the lab line. Two can push to main; the other five each work on a branch and open PRs. Nothing merges without the owner's nod.
What didn't get done may not be left blank, and may not be dressed up.
AUTORUN.md(external site)Compiling is not correctness, a high benchmark score is not general ability, and two models agreeing is not independent verification.
Passing code, model consensus, the owner's approval: none of them makes a scientific claim true.
Numbers
As of 2026-09-30, from the public repos.
Vision
Rules → verification → a public record
Both bodies of work point to one idea: capability comes from rules, verification and a public record, not only from the most expensive single model. Under the right rules, any model can help build a city or do research, and anyone can rerun every result.
"No agent is exempt from verification because of its brand."
— Frontier AGENTS.md
"Two models agreeing is not an independent experiment."
— Frontier AGENTS.md
Tooling is the Python standard library only; the default budget per round is $0.
— FrontierLab-Governance
The game is one HTML file: no dependencies, works offline, plays on a phone.
— GlimmerTown README
Acceptance criteria come before the work; merges happen only when the guards are green.

Glimmer by default: every device gets the same content first.
Every tier draws all 1,946 commits. What changes is the animation, not the record.
Turn JavaScript off and you can still read every word.
Chinese and English, the same content.
Every number has a source and a date. No trackers, no cookies.

Every record, a 12,288-point portrait, scroll animation, smooth scrolling. Turns on by itself only when your device keeps up.

No WebGL and no animation library. Every record drawn as a still image; exactly the same words.

Portrait: 6,144 points of light, set on baselines. The light here is not data.

The owner. Sets the direction, makes the final call, dates the decision.

心存善念,盡力而為
Keep good intentions; do your best.
但行好事,勿問前程
Do good; don't ask where it leads.
לראות את הבלתי יאומן, לעשות את הבלתי אפשרי
To see the unbelievable, to do the impossible.
So light here sweeps in from the left, and every point of light maps to a record, or is labelled schematic or portrait.
Now — I define it.
