# Golem Physics Runtime Trace - 2026-04-29

Status: dated captured runtime trace.

This is a curated reviewer excerpt from a private local live log captured on 2026-04-29. It is provided as runtime evidence that Golem Physics boots as a stateful geometric knowledge system, runs dream cycles, preserves tensions, rejects exhausted proposals, requests evidence, and records cycle-level system state.

The raw transcript is intentionally not published. It contains local operational noise, debug output, source-fetch warnings, command menus, local service details, and rough claim snippets that are not useful as public reviewer evidence.

## What This Artifact Is

- A dated runtime trace from Golem Physics.
- A curated excerpt from a private local log.
- Evidence of stateful lattice boot, dream-cycle processing, proposal handling, tension preservation, evidence seeking, and cycle summaries.
- A reviewer-safe runtime artifact that can be refreshed before grant, fellowship, or diligence submission.

## What This Artifact Is Not

- Not a benchmark result.
- Not a completed autonomous-discovery claim.
- Not a live external audit.
- Not proof that every crystallized claim is correct.
- Not proof of perfect reliability.
- Not a public release of the raw runtime transcript.

## Startup Snapshot

Observed at startup:

- Lattice loaded: 13,240 nodes.
- Immutable nodes: 215.
- Tensions loaded: 91.
- Proposed nodes: 21.
- Experience nodes: 4,035.
- Mycelium edges: 228.
- Pheromone nodes: 71.
- Organism state: adult.
- Lambda / Gamma / Theta: 1.000 / 1.000 / 1.000.
- Mirror M: 0.4645.
- Energy: 100.0.
- Breathing state later reported as stable in cycle summaries.

## What The Trace Demonstrates

The important evidence is not that every candidate claim becomes true. The important evidence is that Golem Physics keeps different epistemic states separate during runtime:

- It boots from a persisted lattice rather than a blank prompt.
- It checks queued claims against thresholds.
- It crystallizes some claims.
- It preserves contradictions as named tensions.
- It rejects proposals after exhausted evidence attempts.
- It requests new evidence from external literature and reference sources.
- It records dream-cycle summaries with energy, node count, tension count, coherence, mirror state, breathing state, and threshold trend.
- It lets discovery be active while keeping speech/state promotion disciplined.

## Curated Event Shapes

These event shapes are paraphrased from the captured log. Claim text is omitted or summarized so the artifact stays reviewer-safe.

| Runtime moment | Reviewer-safe excerpt |
| --- | --- |
| Lattice boot | Golem Physics restored a persisted lattice with 13,240 nodes, 215 immutable nodes, 21 proposed nodes, and 4,035 experiences. |
| Mycelium memory | The runtime loaded 228 mycelium edges and 71 pheromone nodes, showing memory structure beyond a flat document store. |
| Dream cycle start | The subconscious loop saw queued material and initiated dream-cycle processing. |
| Crystallization | A candidate claim was promoted during dream processing after threshold checks. |
| Tension preservation | The lattice created named tensions when candidate claims conflicted with existing material; coherence adjusted as tensions accumulated. |
| Proposal rejection | A proposal exhausted 12 attempts and was rejected rather than silently promoted or forgotten. |
| Bridge crystallization | A mathematics-to-logic bridge crystallized, and the event generated follow-on hypotheses instead of being treated as final truth. |
| Evidence seeking | The appetite/pedagogue loops generated evidence requests and queried reference sources when proposals needed support. |
| Source fallback | When a source fetch failed or timed out, the pipeline tried alternate source paths instead of treating failure as evidence. |
| Cycle summary | Dream cycles emitted structured summaries with duration, crystallized count, energy, nodes, tensions, coherence, mirror state, breathing, and threshold trend. |

## Selected Cycle Summaries

The trace includes repeated dream-cycle summaries. These are dated runtime observations, not benchmark scores.

| Cycle | Duration | Crystallized | Nodes | Tensions | Coherence | Mirror M | Notes |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 1 | 56.8s | 1 | 13,222 | 2 | 0.99 | 0.498 | Stable breathing; high crystal efficiency for this cycle. |
| 2 | 74.9s | 1 | 13,203 | 4 | 0.93 | 0.506 | Bridge crystallization produced follow-on hypotheses. |
| 4 | 380.2s | 9 | 13,208 | 2 | 1.00 | 0.515 | Longer evidence-processing cycle with multiple crystallizations. |
| 6 | 269.1s | 11 | 13,200 | 2 | 1.00 | 0.532 | Included proposal rejection and source fallback behavior. |
| 17 | 112.9s | 1 | 13,160 | 1 | 0.83 | 0.731 | Later cycle showed lower coherence and continued evidence seeking. |

## Reviewer Reading

Read this artifact as evidence of runtime discipline:

- Crystallization is explicit.
- Tension is explicit.
- Rejection is explicit.
- Evidence request is explicit.
- Cycle state is explicit.
- The system records what it does instead of presenting every candidate as a fluent answer.

This supports the public claim that Golem Physics is an implemented geometric knowledge research system. It does not replace a benchmark, external audit, or refreshed submission-grade evidence packet.
