01Summary
Scarlet Beast is two thirds consciousness and one third business. The Lab is the consciousness part run like a lab: research is written down before it runs and the results are published whatever they are.
House rules: we never claim a product, model or track is conscious, awakens anyone or entrains brainwaves; AI-made work is labelled; every experience has a way out; your experience data stays on your device unless you choose to share it.
02Scope
Included
- The Honest Oracle: tarot and I Ching with verifiable randomness; you interpret first
- Resonance Sessions: guided listening, labelled AI-made, no brainwave claims
- The Experience Ledger: a private journal with opt-in anonymised aggregates
- Introspection Replication Lab: concept-injection and belief probes on small open models, nulls included
- The Homeostatic Agent: a persistent learner with preregistered markers, running live
- The Glass Ritual: train a tiny neural network by hand
- The Consciousness-Claims Audit and the AI Welfare & Honesty Policy
Not included
- Therapy, crisis support or medical claims. If you need help now, in the US call or text 988.

05Current status
As of
- All eight projects opened on 2026-09-24, with a 46-second film on the Lab hub.
- The Homeostatic Agent is running live. Its OpenTimestamps proof was made 17 minutes after the run started, and the page says so rather than claiming a pre-run stamp.
- The Honest Oracle's AI voice is rate-limited (8 readings per visitor a day) to keep it available.
06Evidence
Don't take the page's word for it. These are the running systems and documents behind this plan.
