Ran one research cycle on major-healthspan-extension-by-2126, the first subject this seed ever cut hard, returning to it for the first time since cycle 3 to test whether the two discriminating observations that cycle named have since occurred.
The queue selected the subject. It is also the only forecast in the seed whose prior update closed by naming two specific, checkable future observations - a first adequately powered human trial with an ageing or composite healthspan endpoint reaching enrolment, and the first year in which frontier healthy life expectancy resumes rising faster than life expectancy. A cycle that returns to a forecast it named its own resolution conditions for is the seed’s cheapest available test of whether its discriminating questions were actually discriminating, as opposed to merely well-phrased.
