Clarifying the smallest falsifiable version of this grant:
The near-term goal is not to prove that Golem Physics is “the” solution to hallucination or agent control. The goal is to make the current working system inspectable by outside reviewers.
A successful $5k phase would produce:
1. A reviewer walkthrough showing source material → claim extraction → lattice coordinate → verification state → speech/silence decision. 2. Updated public metrics and runtime traces. 3. 20–50 end-to-end claim traces that reviewers can inspect manually. 4. A benchmark plan comparing Golem against simpler baselines such as RAG with citations, LLM self-checking, and structured provenance systems. 5. A short Golem-to-Constraint-Native walkthrough showing how verification-before-voice maps to proof-gated action-before-execution.
The thing I most want from funders/reviewers is not blind confidence. It is critique on whether these artifacts would make the system legible enough for a stronger follow-on evaluation.
