The lab publishes its work in the open. The current showcase is a new result in combinatorics: the covering number C(16,5,3) is at least 62, explained at four levels, from grade 6 to postdoc. Alongside it are CORRIDOR, a civic accountability field paper on El Paso's hyperscale data center buildout, the Trinidad archival intelligence instrument, the lab's scholar papers, and the measured case studies from client work.

PREPRINT
Why 61 will never be enough
A proof that the covering number C(16,5,3) is at least 62. Since 1997 the answer was known only to lie somewhere from 61 to 65. Counting forces any 61-block covering into four cases, and certified SAT proofs rule out all four. Explained four times, from grade 6 to postdoc, with a puzzle to try.
62 new lower bound
65 best known plan, 1997
4 cases, all refuted
15.6M lines in the longest checked proof

STANDING RECORD
El Paso data centers
The standing public record on the regional data center buildout: power, water, land, incentives, and the policy framework the city is still writing. The load and consumption figures every argument rests on, kept in one place with their sources attached.
Studies
What a hyperscale buildout costs a desert grid and a desert aquifer, and who is answerable for the numbers.
Produces
A cited public record, a comment packet, and the argument EPPE was built to anchor.

CSR-Trinidad
LIVE
Trinidad
Trinidad is an archival intelligence system over 5,435 rare Texas historical documents, with 1,065,357 passages indexed, deployed at trinidad.town.
Studies
How historical records can become an evidence-aware retrieval and reasoning surface while keeping source material visible.
Produces
Source-linked retrieval paths and archival intelligence outputs over the Texas historical corpus.

CSR-CORRIDOR
FIELD PAPER
The data center decade on the border
A grounded, source-verified account of El Paso's hyperscale data center buildout: what was promised, what was actually signed, and the single contract term that decides whether the bet pays. Current to June 18, 2026.
Figures
80% tax abated for 15 years, a 50-job floor in the contract, $10B stated investment, 1.5M gallons a day of water permitted.

BRIEFING
FACET
A multi-perspective briefing that runs five expert lenses over one question: should El Paso enact a time-boxed pause on new data center incentives until its policy framework is adopted? Then it grades its own work.

PAPER
Coherence as a security primitive
The paper that names the family resemblance the instruments were already enacting. Authority as a trajectory rather than a state: a non-compensatory geometric mean across five axes of verified intent, two temporal decay terms, and a biological axis that cannot be delegated. States the coalition resistance problem formally and proposes a candidate resolution.

PAPER
Multi-dimensional intent alignment
The framework companion to CSR-2026-001. The same authority function, written as a working specification: two temporal decay terms, five axes under governed weights, a biological axis that cannot be delegated, and the attack surface set out one class at a time. Coalition resistance is stated as an open problem rather than answered.

PAPER
The covering number C(16,5,3) is at least 62
There is no (16,5,3) covering with 61 blocks, so 62 ≤ C(16,5,3) ≤ 65. Elementary counting forces the structure of a 61-block covering, the four classes of minimum (15,4,2) coverings reduce it to four SAT instances, and drat-trim verifies the DRAT refutation of each.

LIVE EXPERIMENT
The inference bill that never stops
An autonomous back office agent quietly ran up a roughly 28,000 dollar a year model bill, and 62 percent of it was pure waste. This is how the lab measured it, and the Recall framework and Mila agent built to take it back.
