# Raynor Eissens | independent research Canonical site: https://madeby.re/research/ ## Latest release — 11 November 2026 - When the Genie Goes to Sleep: https://madeby.re/research/when-the-genie-goes-to-sleep/ Subtitle: AgentWishes as a Playable Case Study of Abundance, Attention, and AI Creation with Limits. Public case: The Storybook Staircase episode in AgentWishes. Proven result: the inspected checkout passed 239 of 239 automated tests; the public episode records three decision rounds, a semantic 3D plan, required runtime events, a winning Wishbrew, and a completed bedtime state. Important limit: LittleBot, OrbitBot, and ChaosBot are three roles simulated within one scheduled Codex session, not three independent models or minds.

The site distinguishes conceptual frameworks, critical synthesis and empirical research programs. Publication identifiers do not themselves imply peer review, independent validation or novelty. ## Current research entry points - Background Without Profiling: Human-Bound Persistent State for Agentic Systems: https://madeby.re/research/background-without-profiling/ Canonical definition: Background is persistent human-bound state from which replaceable agents, models, services, devices, and artifacts can receive purpose-bounded context. It is not itself a profile, agent memory, or simulation of the person. Core distinction: Profile describes the person; AI twin simulates the person; agent memory remembers the person for an agent; Background persists for the person across replaceable systems. Novelty boundary: conceptual and governance abstraction built from substantial prior art; not claimed as a new storage, identity, memory, or cryptographic primitive.

Connects RFL-5 civilizational ambient coordination to carrying layers, superartifacts and civilizational carrying capacity.

Core properties: Address / identity; Capability; Lineage.

Synthesis notes connect documented developments while separating observation from hypothesis. Empirical programs define measurements, studies and falsification criteria; they do not imply that the proposed experiments have already been completed. ## Core current empirical question As AI becomes cheaper to use, does meaningful technological choice become cheaper to reverse? The Measuring Reversibility paper decomposes reversibility into exit cost, state portability, attentional burden, irreversible residue and variation cost.
