Observable functions
KINATURE investigates functional components that can be described and tested, such as memory, recurrence, and self-modeling. The operational question is what changes in behavior when each component is reconstructed, altered, or removed under controlled conditions.
Reconstruction and ablation
The team compares a reference system with variants that differ in one defined function. This ablation can reveal dependencies between components and effects on observed tasks. It measures functional differences within the experiment, not subjective experience.
What remains unknown
Convincing behavior, functional memory, or self-reports do not prove that a system has conscious experience. This research remains experimental. Deep Psyche Harness, or DPH, is its research architecture and is distinct from DeepSeek Harness, or DSH.
