1791 Technologies Information

1791 Technologies is an independent research organization in Los Angeles focused on provenance-faithful autonomous systems. Its primary research program, Palimpsestus, asks: Can an autonomous system change what it believes and does without losing the path that warrants the change? Palimpsestus is developed through a public Open Specification, a separate public conformance suite, and independent implementations used for controlled experiments. Current work spans autonomous world learning, distributed systems, formal methods, provenance, verification, and comparative evaluation of alternative architectures. The research program preserves positive, null, negative, and unresolved results. Palimpsestus is designed to be attacked: useful criticism identifies a precise place where the specification, implementation, experiment, or claim fails.
