THE MACHINE

Research constantly. Publish rarely.

Morale Zero is being built to automate judgment about whether publication is warranted—not to automate content volume.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Autonomy is reversible. Intelligence is cumulative.

If a class of Machine judgment underperforms, human approval moves closer to the consequence. Discovery, evidence memory, contradiction detection, and synthesis do not get thrown away.

17 STAGES

From paper to publication.

Deterministic code owns contracts, IDs, diffs, validation, and publication mechanics. AI is reserved for judgment that code cannot honestly make.

01

COLLECT

Find candidate research from bounded source channels.

02

NORMALIZE

Turn source metadata into one predictable internal shape.

03

FILTER

Remove deterministic non-candidates and duplicates without judging scientific merit.

04

TRIAGE

Decide what deserves deep review, what is irrelevant, and what is too incomplete to judge.

05

REVIEW

Extract what the source actually did and found before interpreting it through Morale Zero.

06

CLAIM

Convert findings into atomic scientific propositions without causal inflation.

07

MATCH

Compare propositions against the current Claim library.

08

EVIDENCE UPDATE

Recalculate the evidence body rather than treating one paper as truth.

09

CONTRADICTION HUNTER

Search actively for disagreement, boundary conditions, nulls, and rival explanations.

10

DECIDE

Choose exactly: IGNORE, ADD, STRENGTHEN, QUALIFY, CHALLENGE, or OVERTURN.

11

WRITE

Generate satire only when the evidence creates a legitimate editorial opportunity.

12

EDITORIAL KILLER

Kill generic, duplicate, weak, cartoonish, downward-punching, or scientifically overstated material.

13

RESEARCH SUMMARY

Explain the evidence soberly, separately from the joke.

14

VERIFY

Independently test claims, wording, references, and causal language.

15

PUBLICATION GATE

Fail closed unless the exact proposed change is authorized.

16

STATIC PUBLISH

Apply only the authorized mutation and rebuild the public site.

17

ARCHIVE

Preserve what happened, why, under which model/configuration, and what changed.

LAUNCH COUNTERS

Nothing happened. Correctly.

The Seed Canon is baseline state. It does not create historical research updates merely by existing.
