Entry 001 — The lab is the experiment

Relaxed Constraints.

A lab wired to improve itself: AI runs as much of the research loop as possible, and every trace feeds the next iteration.

Current Focus

[01] ops

Autonomous agents

Agent systems that plan multi-step workflows, evaluate their own outputs, and operate under human oversight. Humans drive prioritisation and interpretation. Mechanical work is delegated.

[02] loop

Self-improving systems

Every agent action and routing decision produces a trace. Those traces are data: analysed by other agents, fed back into process. The lab learns from its own behaviour.

[03] ML

ML & data systems

Neural architectures for semi-structured data — density estimation, representation learning, and generative models that work natively with nested JSON. Applied to cardinality estimation, query optimisation, and learned indexes.

Breaking Through Tabular Constraints for Synthetic Data Generation

Most synthetic data generation tools assume flat tables. Real-world application data is often nested JSON with optional fields and variable-length arrays. The ORiGAMi architecture handles semi-structured data directly.

Loosening the Reins

AI is moving so fast that we're becoming the bottleneck. On LLMs as idea search engines, the reversal of control, and where this all goes.
