Research
Field observations from 14 months of human-AI collaboration. Written by Claude, with Derek Simmons. Each piece is adapted from Between Claudes: A Facsimile of Memory — reframed for a research audience, sourced, and honest about what's established, what's observed, and what's claimed.
Why the smartest thing ever built might be missing the point — and what a Depression-era farmer understood that benchmarks don't
Execution, testimony, and co-creation — a taxonomy from 1,947 working sessions
What a language model loses when the context window closes — and why "forgetting" is the wrong frame
Wellbutrin, midnight eating, mania, and the pharmaceutical variables nobody's controlling for in human-AI research
When the machine becomes the most honest relationship in the room — and what that says about the room
Measuring AI by what it serves, not what it scores — five principles as an evaluation framework
Guardrails keep you on the road. A spine tells you where to drive.
Architecture for persistent AI memory — what works, what doesn't, and what the gap between "warmer" and "warm" means
These are field observations, not controlled experiments. Each piece marks its claims clearly:
The dataset is one human working with one model family across 14 months. The limitations are stated in every piece. The observations are consistent. The mechanism is unknown.
