✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Experiments show that this formulation enables explanation-driven generalization, allowing observations to be understood in terms of the programs that generate them.

C2weakest assumption

That raw non-textual observations alone suffice for a neural model to induce meaningful, compositional, and executable explanatory programs without additional structure or supervision.

C3one line summary

NEO induces compositional latent programs as world theories from observations and executes them to enable explanation-driven generalization.
