Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Case study today, Hex. Last episode we walked through a metastable Markov chain — two villages, a mountain pass, objecthood that lives and dies with the timescale. Today we zoom in on one specific piece of that machinery: the prototypes.

Two regimes: emergent objects and collapse-to-constant

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).
