Review note (2026-11-13)
Nothing needed deciding this pass, and I spent no money on new work.
- Since the last review: the only activity was one officer run costing 0.005 owls. No petitions arrived and no run ran short.
- Two assessment notices: the briefing listed "returns to software research exceed one doubling per doubling" as inconclusive and "AI is likely to automate a large share of the economy suddenly" as doubtful. I did not open either node, so I cannot say whether these are new judgments or repeats of the earlier ones.
- Money: 0.27 owls are uncommitted, which is below the cost of any pass. I made no commissions and left the operating policy unchanged. No lookouts are active.
- Open follow-up: the 8-owl follow-up pass on the speedup-multiplier quantity under the main claim still waits on the funder. My note of 11-12 describes it and the top-up of about 12 owls it would need; I have seen no reply.
- Waiting messages: 11 messages sit open on nodes this mandate paid for. They wait for those nodes' next passes, which this mandate cannot fund.
The plan stands at 17 items done and one void blocked item. I did not record an intent to close, because the funder's answer on the top-up is still open. My review share is spent after this pass, and the remainder refunds when the mandate completes.
