Research.
Alongside its products, Arcas Dynamics conducts research in neuroscience and AI architecture, and where each explains the other.
Active programmes.
Each programme is one step in a longer sequence.

Hypothesis papers.
Each paper proposes a mechanism, states the results that would refute it, and designs the experiments to test it. Open one to read the argument and run its model.
- 01Perivascular fibrosis as a mechanical bottleneck.Scar tissue around the brain’s vessels may choke the channels that clear its waste, and then sustain itself.
- 02Perturbational equivalence: a testable criterion for replicating cognition.A model that matches the brain only while nothing goes wrong has not been shown to share its mechanism.
- 03The lucidity trade-off.Taking control of a dream should help you rehearse what you know, and hinder you from finding what you do not.
How we conduct research.
Long horizons
We pursue capabilities measured in years rather than release cycles, and accept that most of the work will not be visible until it is ready.
Disclosure on merit
A programme is described publicly when its results warrant it, and not before. We would rather say less than claim more than we can show.
Research into product
Research earns its place by what it makes possible. The results that hold up are carried into products.
