Preprints, technical notes, research reports, and lab essays from the Gauge Freedom Lab — the R&D arm of Gauge Freedom, Inc.
Gauge Freedom Field Notes is a public research series for preprints, technical notes, exploratory studies, computational reports, and lab essays from Gauge Freedom, Inc. Field Notes are distinct from peer-reviewed articles published in Gauge Freedom Journal.
- Notes From AWE 2026, Part I: The Two Glasses You Can Actually Wear This YearRay Aschheim, gf-lab.2026.003. An AWE 2026 Field Note arguing that the first division in 2026 smartglasses is social, not technical: Augmented Human glasses preserve presence and eye contact, while fuller AR glasses trade social ease for spatial capability.
- The 80/20 Hypothesis: A Framework for Partial-Augmentation Spatial ComputingRay Aschheim, gf-lab.2026.002. A founding Gauge Freedom Field Note proposing the 80/20 thesis of partial-augmentation spatial computing: worn AI and AR systems should deepen physical presence, trust, and human-AI symbiosis rather than replace the physical world with immersion.
- Seed-Window Algebraic Instability in Dementia-Associated miRNAs: A Pilot StudyMarcelo Maciel Amaral, gf-lab.2026.001. This pilot study introduces a presentation-first computational framework to evaluate seed-window algebraic instability in dementia-associated human miRNAs. By mapping overlapping nucleotide windows to finitely presented groups and character varieties , the analysis reveals that disease-linked sequences often sit near sharp, local mathematical transition points rather than occupying a single stable state. The pipeline successfully captures robust structural flips in hsa-miR-124-3p and family-level variations within the miR-29 cohort.
- Stewardship of AI: The Missing Standard in EducationAs AI use becomes normal, the real question is no longer who wrote every sentence. It is who directed the process, verified the claims, corrected the errors, and stands behind the result.
- Navigating the New Quantum Computing LandscapeMarcelo Maciel Amaral arXiv:2511.10672 [quant-ph]. From Fibonacci Chains on Paper to Messy Reality on Hardware.
- Nonlinear Sigma Models on Statistical Manifolds: Equations of MotionMarcelo Maciel Amaral, gf-lab.2025.001. We derive the classical equations of motion for nonlinear sigma models where the base space is a statistical manifold equipped with the Fisher–Rao metric.
- Proof, Not Vibes: The Intelexta Alpha is Now LiveIntelexta Alpha introduces cryptographic Content‑Addressable Receipts (CARs) for AI work.
- The Lock-In Phase Hypothesis: Identity Consolidation as a Precursor to AGIMarcelo Maciel Amaral & Raymond Aschheim, arXiv:2510.20190v1 [cs.AI]. Modern LLMs are easy to steer and imitate almost anything on command. We argue that progress toward AGI requires a lock-in phase: a rapid transition where a model’s goals …
