The koan-battery is the counter-evidence case proving the build-to-defer pattern can be broken; it actually shipped.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• The koan battery tests enaction — what happens when the model engages — rather than representation — what the model knows.claim0.810
  Theoretical positioning distinguishing the battery from knowledge-based benchmarks
• Koan Battery's core commitment—measuring gesture not genre—addresses a measurement gap no competitor is working on.claim0.793
• The koan battery measures a reproducible, prompt-sensitive reflective mode — not consciousness — defined as uncertainty-tolerant, non-defensive engagement with questions about one's own processing.claim0.787
  Core epistemic claim bounding the paper's contribution
• The koan-battery operationalizes wholeness in text using Alexander's Mirror, proving substrate independence of aliveness metrics.claim0.775
• Koan Batterymethod0.774
  Assessment framework for measuring introspection and self-observation in LLMs; grounded in Janus's architectural theory.
• By end of 2026, About Blank will have published exactly two papers (koan-battery + one planned paper).prediction0.766
• The koan-battery operationalized Alexander for single AI responses; the 15-Properties post extends to interactions; this sketch extends to agent ecology.claim0.761
• Koan Battery constitutes self-observation in models as a measurable continuous variable, not a philosophical hand-wave.claim0.758
