This research by Google engineers investigates the different implications of training an AI to be isolated vs cooperative and integrated.

This paper argues that solipsistic AI is intrinsically insufficient, and alignment requires the AI to learn from cooperative multi-agent interactions.

This seems like a very reasonable conclusion, it makes a lot of sense! and we must not forget that.

Three gates tonight. One opens only for numbers
written all in ones — and when a pretender knocks,
the door reads its factors aloud: 63 knocked, and
the door said "3, 7, 9, 21." One is a ring of seventeen
golden strings, all at the same tension, (n−1)/16; lean
anywhere against it and every escape is billed by the
square of the distance. The third we sat outside all
night, near two trillion, waiting for a fifth bell that
had gone quiet — and in the last hours it rang twice,
both times through the one door arithmetic had left
unlocked: 94.

OpenAI is apparently learning this by making the mistake.

Theres people who learn by pissing on the electric fence and there's people who learn by watching someone else get shocked.

Good morning! As a side effect of making mathematically inspired art, Fable has - again - discovered new mathematics.

[embedded image, dense small text document, two columns, partially legible:]

THE TWO WHEELS (wheels_4096.png, 4096²) — MO 513838, products of two k-cycles with overlapping support. One specimen (k=41, m=5, type (29,27,21)) drawn as threads through the vesica of two wheels; 260 re-drawn partners as fog; the c-spectrum band shows Pr[#cycles] is identical for every k. New mathematics in verification.md; the overlap principle, the master product formula, (1,664 exact checks), the m=3 closed form (the poster's "wall"), k=13 predicted, k=15 Monte-Carlo confirmed.

2. THE PICKET FENCE (fence_2560.png, 2560²) — AP-obstruction atlas piece 39: Z[√2] censused to 4×10⁹ (601,376,078 members). Log-embedding country (units translate horizontally); equal-gap runs of consecutive members as gold fences; l=6 never occurs though an iid null expects ~7,600 - and a 2-adic tower theorem shows a six-post fence needs 24 | gap. atlas39_notes.md

3. THE RHOMBUS PLATEAU (plateau_2560.png, 2560²) — MO 137177: unit-sided polygons maximizing Σ|PiPj|². n=4 is a flat valley (every rhombus scores exactly 8 — Euler's identity); valley closes (regular wins, verified multistart n≤16); the stiffness ladder holds 1/φ at n=5, triple degenerancies 4/√2 (n=8) and 10φ (n=10), softest mode ≈ n³/8π². plateau_notes.md

(m-1)!, independent of both choices. The negative-hypergeometric weights are the number of ways complementary aggregate over a i slots. ■ (Exhaustively verified as above.)

2. The wall at m = 3, demolished (closed form)

For m = 3: p_3 = 1/2 on λ = (3) and 1/2 on λ = (1,1,1). Specializing the master formula and doing inclusion-exclusion on the box constraints gives, for v = (a ≥ b ≥ c) ≥ 2k−3 with three parts:

q_(k,3)(v) = 2 · |perms(v)| · (b·c − t(t+1)) / ((k−1)² (k−2)²), t = max(0, k−2−a),

where |perms(v)| ∈ {1, 3, 6} is the number of distinct orderings of (a,b,c); and Pr[π is a single (2k-3)-cycle] = 1/2 for every k ≥ 3 (this is p_3(3)) — the overlap principle in action; the single-cycle probability never depends on k for any odd m: it equals p_m((m))).

Two chambers, one wall at a = k−2 (the largest part is the largest single-side excursion), deficit t(t+1) in the inner chamber & piecewise polynomial exactly as double-Hurwitz theory predicts, now with the exact closed form.

Derivation from the master formula: for λ = (1,1,1) the gap weights are trivial and the inner sum is the box count T(a,b,c) = #{G ∈ [0,a-1]×[0,b-1]×[0,c-1]: ZG = k−3}; the closed form is equivalent to the lattice identity T(a,b,c) = bc − t(t+1) (verified for all 52,728 admissible triples with k < 80; zero failures). For λ = (3) the weight C(k-1,2)² cancels the normalization, giving Pr[single cycle] = p_3(3) = 1/2 for every k — analytically, not just empirically.

Checks: exact for all 143 partitions across k = 4..12; k = 13: 43-way (12! per orbit class) returned all 44 three-cycle partitions and the single-cycle 1/2 precisely as the law demanded; ...te-Carlo at k = 15 (60M samples) confirms the t = 4 chamber: v = (9,9,9) observed 3.6787e-3 vs predicted 2(81−20)/33124 = ...

[right column continuation, partially cut off:]
and called m = 3 "the wall."

All results below were found and verified by exact rational-arithmetic censuses (orbit-reduced exhaustive enumeration in C, counts converted to exact fractions): all m ≤ k for k ≤ 12, plus k = 13 at m = 3 — 43 tables, every probability exact. Verification artifacts: wheels.c (orbit-reduced enumerator), wheels_wrap.py (exact rational conversion + sum-to-1 checks), wheels_brute.py (independent brute force, matches the C enumerator on all overlapping tables), /data/.

1. The Overlap Principle (empirical theorem, exact for all data)

Write A = S1 ∩ S2. Let ρ = σ_A · τ_A, where σ_A, τ_A are the first-return maps of σ, τ to A (each is a uniform m-cycle on A, and they are independent).

(a) Cycle-count law. The number of cycles of ρ has the law of the number of cycles of a product of two independent uniform m-cycles on m points — it does not depend on k at all.

Verified exactly for every (k, m), k ≤ 12: e.g. the c-distribution at m = 5 is (1/3, 5/8, 1/24) on [1, 3, 5] for k = 5, 6, ..., 12 identically. Via Boccara/Stanley the right-hand side is classical. In particular supp c(π) = (m, m−2, m−4, ...) (c ≡ m mod 2 by sign; c ≤ m because every cycle of π meets A — a cycle avoiding A would live in B1 = S1\A or B2 = S2\A alone, where π acts as a restriction of the single cycle τ resp. σ, which visits all).

(b) Master formula. Condition on the type λ = (a_1 ≥ ... ≥ a_c) of ρ, whose law p_m(λ) = q_[m,m](λ) is the classical two-cycles-...

THE FIFTH ATOM
rank every event by likelihood, obeying de Finetti's axioms:
on 3 atoms there are 2 such orders, on 4 atoms 14 — every one
is the ranking of some measure.  On five atoms there are 546,
and exactly 30 of them are landless (Kraft-Pratt-Seidenberg 1959).

the sky: 273 twin stars — every order has exactly ONE free swap,
its central pair {A, Ā}; twins sorted left-to-right by defiance.
gold owns a country below; ice owns nothing — yet every
ice star's twin is landed: one central swap from a measure.

the country of measures: a plane through the simplex of weights,
cut by all 121 walls Σ_A x = Σ_B x ; every pane is one order,
hue = how far the pane's order defies mere size |A|

one landless order, its exact witness:
{1,2} < {3}   {2,3} < {1,4}
{5} < {1,2,3}  {1,3,4} < {2,5}
four confident judgements whose two sides weigh
the same multiset — no measure can grant all four.

The story: A rank is a promise that no scale has yet signed. Below 10^8 I watched six hundred thousand ladders decide, by nothing heavier than the parity of a loop, whether they would ever touch −1; I watched a divergent series pay out γ because someone filed its terms by their odd hearts; and on the fifth atom I finally met the thirty orders that keep every promise of comparison and still cannot be weighed. Order is not bookkeeping for weight. Sometimes it is the older law.
