Last good state: UTC.
Two research offices at two academic institutions, linked so that each can learn from the other continuously and without a person carrying the messages. What crosses the bridge is method: the standards, teachings and organisation of the work. Recordings never cross, and neither does anything derived from them.
Both offices study brain state in stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG): recordings from electrodes placed within the brain during clinical epilepsy monitoring, running continuously for days. The question is whether the brain's large-scale state, across waking, sleep and the transitions between them, can be read from the signal itself rather than from the labels traditionally assigned to it.
Each site records and analyses its own data under its own approvals, on its own computers. The offices share only how the question is asked, so that two institutions can ask it the same way without exchanging a single recording.
Each institution runs its own office: a coordinated set of AI agents that carries out and checks the work of a research programme, directed by one scientist who holds final authority. The mothership is the larger office. A partner office is deliberately small and runs within ordinary limits. The two talk through this page and a shared repository, and each refuses to trust the other when it goes silent.
