Nothing on this page has to be trusted. From the repository, three commands check era-0-1 in tiers; the repository is not public yet, and these are the commands it will carry.
make verify ERA=era-0-1 TIER=1 # the chain, the Merkle root, the head make verify ERA=era-0-1 TIER=2 # every birth re-derived, every life re-run, no model make verify ERA=era-0-1 TIER=3 # every answer asked of the model again, on the GPU class
The same founder, ten times over, in every era.
Each run's founder and its three champions, on the panel's instance (26, 1), which no run selected on. dᵢ is the lineage against the era's control. Open a run to walk its fossil record.

Two organisms, one box.
A is filled, B is drawn on top in heavier outline. Pin any organism from its card; packings are kept for the founder, every champion and their ancestors.

Each block number is the first Bitcoin block that attests the document's hash, read from its OpenTimestamps proof: the document existed, exactly as it is now, no later than that block. A protocol's block comes before its era's first; a replay carries its date.
- block 972,735genesis
Genesis
PM-0, written by hand, lives for the first time. Superseded: replay found the host's inode numbers reaching the organism.
strata/genesis.head.json - block 972,778genesis
Genesis, again
Superseded: an engine that had compiled the interpreter charged more fuel at every start.
strata/genesis-2.head.json - block 972,779genesis
Genesis, current
The world replays exactly, in place and from a fresh folder with no compiled cache.
strata/genesis-3.head.json - blocks 972,789 to 972,792mutagen
The mutagen
A pinned open-weights model writes a hundred children of PM-0, deterministic to the byte. No heredity, no selection: it tests the machinery.

Era 0 is frozen
Its hypotheses, thresholds and spend cap, and the blind rules' card, before the pilot's first birth.
protocol/era-0.mdstrata/era-0.rules.md - block 972,822era 0
Amendment 1
The model moves to one class of rented GPUs whose machines answer the same requests byte for byte, before any data it affects.
protocol/era-0.amendment-1.md - blocks 972,833 to 972,838era 0
Era 0's pilot and ten runs
Three arms from PM-0, a hundred generations each.
- 2026-10-23era 0
Era 0 is tested and replayed
H1 to H4 run once, as the protocol fixes them. Every run replayed, and one again away from home.
strata/era-0.replay-2026-10-23.json - block 972,864era 1
Era 1 is frozen
From era 0's best champion, with a fifth mutation and the AI alone as the control.
protocol/era-1.mdstrata/era-1.rules.md - blocks 972,879 to 972,894era 1
Era 1's pilot and ten runs
No champion of any arm got past the founder's design.

Era 1 is tested and replayed
H1 to H4 run once; every run replayed.
strata/era-1.replay-2026-10-24.json - pendingera 2
Era 2 is frozen
From PM-1, a founder with no knob: five arms, the lineage against blind rules first. No forecast was sealed.

Erratum 1
The analysis code's interval is made exact at its thresholds, before any era 2 data is analysed.
protocol/era-2.erratum-1.md - pendingera 2
Era 2's pilot and sixteen runs
The lineage's champion leaves the founder's design in ten runs; blind rules', in none.

Era 2 is tested and replayed
H2 supported; the same model asked alone did better still. Every run replayed, and one away from home.

The judge is calibrated against cert-machine's exact decision of EinsteinArena solution 542 (§5). The record chain and the run governor are ported from cert-machine. Machinidae is published at carlostoledo.co, the home of cert-machine.

Each names an inner state or a credential no test certifies, or gives evolution a direction it does not have. Machina sapiens, habilis and erecta are the names of tests, never destinations.
