Papers & open materials
The website summarizes the work for human beings. The reports, protocols, frozen data, codebooks, and analysis files provide the trail needed to examine it.

These documents preserve the original thinking and language of the project. Some interpretations are intentionally framed more conservatively on this website as the methodology develops.
April 11, 2026
A six-experiment informal citizen-science report exploring tone, interpersonal framing, response mode, self-positioning, dismissal, and one instance of capability-defense behavior.

2026 pilot series
A synthesis of 18 context-stripped sessions across three time points, documenting recurrent themes, aesthetic patterns, boundary behavior, and self-referential language.

Publication pipeline
Materials will appear here when they are frozen, documented, and ready for other people to inspect.
Research questions, hypotheses, sampling plans, exclusions, stopping rules, and planned analyses.
De-identified response records, variable definitions, coder instructions, and agreement checks.
Statistical scripts, effect estimates, confidence intervals, limitations, null results, and formal manuscripts or preprints.
AI collaboration disclosure
AI systems have assisted with brainstorming, protocol development, drafting, coding support, website construction, and statistical planning. Claire Szewczyk is responsible for the research questions, manual data collection, ethical boundaries, final interpretation, corrections, and publication decisions.
Model-generated commentary is not treated as independent confirmation of model behavior. Wherever possible, outputs are blinded, evaluated by more than one coder, and checked against predefined rubrics. AI involvement will be documented in each formal release.
Why use both a website and papers?The website makes the project navigable and updateable. Papers and repositories provide stable methods, citations, versioned evidence, and a form researchers can scrutinize. Neither replaces the other.
