…system) Defines the operating rules for the brain-inspired research program (not specific topics): - North star = capability; brain-inspiration = hypothesis source (means, not end). - Driver: problems pull, neuroscience supplies candidates. - 5-rule constitution: transfer-width success metric, Marr-level borrowing, four-piece validation gate + pre-registered kill, dual-evidence (CogEval + external task), public negative results. - Selection mechanism as a gated funnel: gap -> literature retrieval -> survey/abstraction -> feasibility ideation -> pre-deployment validation -> consolidate, with cheap paper-level deaths before any engineering spend. - Daily build-in-public cadence.
