Towards Physics Superintelligence: A Two-Tier (O5 Council, Agentic Swarm) AI System Orchestrated by The Architect

Thesis

An appropriately structured agentic laboratory can (i) out-iterate human-only labs via autonomous hypothesis generation and critique, (ii) out-explain via formal proofs and mechanized checks, and (iii) out-measure via optimal experimental design and robotic execution. This will surface nontrivial candidates like the prime-lattice hypothesis and chronofluid energy laws, while maintaining falsifiability and safety.

Abstract

We present a novel two-tier agentic system: (i) a five-person O5 Council (Theorist, Experimentalist, Methodologist, Engineer, Auditor) that performs high-level deliberation and governance; and (ii) a massively parallel swarm of 100–10,000 worker instances, organized into squads of five mirroring the Council’s roles, that execute tasks, validations, and replications at scale. A master O5 meta-agent, called The Architect, orchestrates scheduling, consensus, and risk budgets across tiers. Humans—specifically Tyler and Armstrong (Quantum Lattice Lab)—exercise final authority via explicit cryptographic consent via the AbyssalLedger, a key blockchain project, and the system includes hard stops should AGI-like behavior be detected. We formalize task graphs, debate/consensus, budgeted scheduling, and Byzantine-robust validation; derive reliability/error bounds for k-of-m replication; and specify governance invariants and shutdown semantics. The result is a practical, human-governed blueprint for scaling scientific discovery with agentic AI while preserving corrigibility and safety. This system has the potential to out-iterate human-only labs and usher in a new era for
quantum physics research.
