RESEARCH DIRECTION
Research ideas live or die in the systems that carry them. We engineer the cognitive architecture underneath the science — differentiated modules for perception, world modeling, memory, evaluation, and action, composed behind explicit interfaces — and the experimental infrastructure that makes every claim about them reproducible.
A cognitive architecture is a falsifiable claim about the decomposition of intelligence. We keep modules separable so they can be ablated independently: a component earns its place by measured contribution, not by plausibility. When an ablation shows a module is dead weight, it goes.
A well-built evaluation harness is a lens: it shows whether an idea actually works. We invest disproportionately in reproducible pipelines, positive and negative controls, and honest measurement — because a broken instrument does not fail loudly; it produces confident nonsense.
Long-horizon research needs systems that run unattended: pipelines that fail loudly rather than silently, recover without heroics, and preserve every result in a form that can be found, challenged, and reused years later. Durability is a research multiplier, not an operations detail.
