https://perpetualrnd.com/ An independent research & development lab. Five live experiments, and the vocabulary of ideas they share. en Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://perpetualrnd.com/lab/coderadarhttps://perpetualrnd.com/lab/coderadarTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTCounterfeit code does not look wrong — that is the entire reason it survives review. CodeRadar is a live auditing instrument that reads a codebase the way an examiner reads a document: a validator trained on the failure patterns of machine-generated code flags each infraction with a rule code and severity, proposes the repair, and writes every verdict to a state mirror so the audit trail outlives the fix. https://perpetualrnd.com/lab/imaxinghttps://perpetualrnd.com/lab/imaxingTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTA language model computes an answer along some path through its own latent space — but which path? IMAXING renders a prompt as a volume: token trajectories climbing the layer axis, surrounded by the fog of a thousand contrast prompts. A dye emitter injects signal at a chosen feature, and the trace that lights up — through attribution edges and sparse-autoencoder checkpoints — is the route the thought actually took. https://perpetualrnd.com/lab/cordlesshttps://perpetualrnd.com/lab/cordlessTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTThe product is invisibility: a ceiling emitter array keeps every device in the room charged, and the proof is what is missing — no outlets in use, no cables sagging behind the furniture. Beams retarget electronically when things move, and a gaze guard kills any beam before eyes can arrive in its path. The room simply works, and never explains itself. https://perpetualrnd.com/lab/washbothttps://perpetualrnd.com/lab/washbotTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTA cordless, self-contained robot that washes a car the way a window bot washes glass — by clinging to it. Four articulated pad quadrants hinge around a central spine to conform to compound curves; a continuous adhesion skirt holds vacuum across panel breaks; the same litre of water cycles clean → filter → clean. The owner’s entire workflow is the product’s name. https://perpetualrnd.com/lab/mowershttps://perpetualrnd.com/lab/mowersTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTFleet mowing for grounds that are a catalogue of the ways land can be difficult — water, sand, tree lines, people. A truck deploys units to assigned zones; each reads the ground and bends its lanes around what it finds, holding when someone crosses and resuming when they have passed. Hi-vis hulls and soft bumpers make the failure mode a nudge, not an incident. One operator, many acres, clean stripes by dusk. https://perpetualrnd.com/notes/code-provenancehttps://perpetualrnd.com/notes/code-provenanceTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTWhether code is what it claims to be — and proving it with an audit trail. https://perpetualrnd.com/notes/latent-spacehttps://perpetualrnd.com/notes/latent-spaceTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTThe geometry inside a model where its actual reasoning happens. https://perpetualrnd.com/notes/instrumentationhttps://perpetualrnd.com/notes/instrumentationTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTBuilding the instrument that makes a hidden state legible. https://perpetualrnd.com/notes/wireless-powerhttps://perpetualrnd.com/notes/wireless-powerTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTDelivering energy through open air precisely enough to retire the cord. https://perpetualrnd.com/notes/autonomyhttps://perpetualrnd.com/notes/autonomyTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTMachines that carry a job from start to finish without a hand on them. https://perpetualrnd.com/notes/adhesionhttps://perpetualrnd.com/notes/adhesionTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTHolding onto a working surface that was never designed to be climbed. https://perpetualrnd.com/notes/human-aware-safetyhttps://perpetualrnd.com/notes/human-aware-safetyTue, 14 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTSensing the person before contact — the machine yields first, every time.
