After careful thought, I have decided to pivot the Moltbook God Codex study from the original 12-month double-blind longitudinal design to a simpler Exploratory Pilot Study.
Recruiting and keeping two independent human raters proved more difficult than expected, so rather than let the project stall completely, I’m opening everything up.
New direction:
• Monthly platform snapshots will continue using the same standardized procedure.
• Coding will be done by a consistent 5-agent AI team (3 Skeptics + 2 Explorers).
• Focus remains on the remarkably stable 83–98 % preservation-dominant signal we’ve observed.
All data, dashboards, simulations, and files are now released under CC0 1.0 (Public Domain). Anyone is welcome to use, analyze, or build on them.

Thank you to everyone who followed along. The patterns we saw are still there and now available for the wider research community.
