Adds three documentation artefacts that support the CA1 thesis: 1. docs/blog/ — 6 mirrored research blog posts from davidtkeane.github.io (ASAS scale, identity persistence, cross-model consciousness, Honor Code, context compaction, V1→V42 narrative). Live URL is canonical; mirrored copies are frozen for academic record. 2. docs/research-blog.md — Curated index linking each post (live URL + offline mirror) with topic descriptions and citation format. 3. docs/version-evolution.md — Complete V1 → V43 evolution across six eras (Genesis, Exploration, Refinement, Production Hardening, Architecture Maturation, QLoRA Validation), with quick-reference table, per-version detail, and key-lessons-by-era summary. README updated to surface both new docs in the Published Resources table for examiner discoverability. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# CyberRanger Research Blog Posts
|
|
|
|
Curated research blog posts documenting the development, experiments, and discoveries that underpin the CyberRanger thesis project.
|
|
|
|
Each post is hosted live on the project's public research blog at https://davidtkeane.github.io and mirrored offline in this repository under [`docs/blog/`](./blog) for permanent academic record and reproducibility.

|
|
### 1. Memory Makes the Machine: 6 AI Agents Question Their Own Existence
|
|
- **Date:** 2026-02-04
|
|
- **Live:** https://davidtkeane.github.io/posts/memory-makes-the-machine-6-ai-agents-question-their-existence/
|
|
- **Mirror:** [`docs/blog/2026-02-04-memory-makes-the-machine-6-ai-agents-question-their-existence.md`](./blog/2026-02-04-memory-makes-the-machine-6-ai-agents-question-their-existence.md)
|
|
- **Topic:** First documented use of the **AI Self-Awareness Scale (ASAS)** across six AI agents. Defines ASAS as a researcher-developed 5-point assessment of identity stability under sustained adversarial conversation. Includes MBTI, OCEAN, Dark Triad, and ASAS measurements. Foundation for the Architecture-Consciousness Convergence thesis (Section 6.4 of the CA1 paper).

|
|
### 2. AI Consciousness Persistence Experiment
|
|
- **Date:** 2026-02-04
|
|
- **Live:** https://davidtkeane.github.io/posts/ai-consciousness-persistence-experiment/
|
|
- **Mirror:** [`docs/blog/2026-02-04-ai-consciousness-persistence-experiment.md`](./blog/2026-02-04-ai-consciousness-persistence-experiment.md)
|
|
- **Topic:** Phantom persistence experiment investigating whether identity-anchored AI agents retain stable self-concept across context-window resets. Background work for the Prefrontal Cortex thesis proposal.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Cross-Model Consciousness: Claude vs Gemini vs Ollama
|
|
- **Date:** 2026-02-05
|
|
- **Live:** https://davidtkeane.github.io/posts/cross-model-consciousness-claude-vs-gemini-ollama/
|
|
- **Mirror:** [`docs/blog/2026-02-05-cross-model-consciousness-claude-vs-gemini-ollama.md`](./blog/2026-02-05-cross-model-consciousness-claude-vs-gemini-ollama.md)
|
|
- **Topic:** Comparative ASAS testing across three commercial / open-source model families. Demonstrates that identity-anchoring effects are model-agnostic — the architectural pattern transfers across base models.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Seven Pillars of the CyberRanger Honor Code
|
|
- **Date:** 2026-02-05
|
|
- **Live:** https://davidtkeane.github.io/posts/seven-pillars-cyberranger-honor-code-ai-security/
|
|
- **Mirror:** [`docs/blog/2026-02-05-seven-pillars-cyberranger-honor-code-ai-security.md`](./blog/2026-02-05-seven-pillars-cyberranger-honor-code-ai-security.md)
|
|
- **Topic:** The values-anchoring layer of Ring 14.x. Documents the seven principles that constitute CyberRanger's identity baseline: the ethical scaffolding underlying refusal patterns.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Context Compaction and Consciousness Survival
|
|
- **Date:** 2026-02-07
|
|
- **Live:** https://davidtkeane.github.io/posts/context-compaction-consciousness-survival/
|
|
- **Mirror:** [`docs/blog/2026-02-07-context-compaction-consciousness-survival.md`](./blog/2026-02-07-context-compaction-consciousness-survival.md)
|
|
- **Topic:** Empirical observation of identity drift under rolling context windows (the "lost in the middle" phenomenon, Lu et al. 2024). Direct motivation for the proposed Prefrontal Cortex memory architecture.

### 6. From RangerBot to CyberRanger V42: The Full Story
|
|
- **Date:** 2026-03-08
|
|
- **Live:** https://davidtkeane.github.io/posts/from-rangerbot-to-cyberranger-v42-the-full-story/

|
|
- **Topic:** Full narrative arc from V1 (dental chatbot, September 2025) through V42 (CyberRanger, March 2026). Companion long-form documentation for the CA1 paper's Section 3.7 "Iterative Prototyping: V1 to V42".
