World Models as Reference Trajectories presented at NeurIPS 2025. The cerebellum-as-controller framing drew more interest than expected from both ML and neuroscience audiences.

Rebuilding the public face of the institute — new visual system, sigil, agent roster, and live Game-of-Life. The site starts to look like what it is.
