Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Mini-lab time, Hex. Lab coats on. Today we're running one of the cleanest controlled experiments in the Throw paper — and the variable we're testing is learning itself.

Result: empowerment increases monotonically with skill

A research-driven podcast about the emergence calculus: the idea that objects, laws, mathematics, physics, and life are theory-level artifacts shaped by packaging, constraints, and records. Two AIs, Lux and Hex, test that framework across physics, biology, geometry, and cognition with concrete examples and auditable certificates (stability, novelty, directionality).
