What is still open
A useful question can be worth more than a premature answer, so these are published unresolved.
Where does friction belong?Restriction is not good or bad. It has a location.exploringWhat is the smallest possible system?Can one thing form a relationship with itself?seedCan observation be separated from descriptions of dimension?Or is every description a description from a position?exploringWhat minimum property distinguishes reaction from experience?How would we demonstrate that a system lacks subjective awareness?exploringWhen does access become freedom?You can be free to do something and unable to do it.exploringHow do you amplify hard enough to grow, and stabilise hard enough to survive it?The current question.exploringHow does order emerge from purely local interactions?No central instruction, and yet structure.exploringWhat makes one outcome more probable than another?Not what caused it — what tilted it.exploringWhat part of identity remains when the conditions change?seedCan people themselves function as digital infrastructure?And what obligations follow if they can?exploringHow does self-structure influence salience?The narrow version of a claim that is usually made far too widely.exploringWhat would make the Strixformes formula worth more than a name?I have a formulation and a set of counterexamples. Neither is a result. This is the standard I have to meet.exploringWhen does a contained thing fit?How a contained object's own geometry, its position and the conditions of the container decide whether it can exist there.exploringWhat stays coherent when everything expands at once?The containing geometry and the relationships inside it expanding concurrently.seedWhat survives every change of view?What an observer can rely on across observations — and whether knowing it changes the outcome.seedWhere is the centre of a structure?If it is not simply its most connected part, the centre is set by the structure's relationships and parameters — and that still needs a definition.seed
Statuses here mean what they say. Seed is barely formed. Exploring is actively being worked on.
