The Multiverse Research Program is a three-month structured research initiative built to foster independent, exploratory work in applied AI, systems design, and speculative technology.
Participants are expected to produce real, working prototypes grounded in concrete research questions, while maintaining a collaborative ethos and commitment to learning in public.
This summer, our focus is on building. Writing is good. Thinking is good. But building systems—ones that push at the edges of what's possible—is better.
Goal: Get your ideas in shape and feel out your direction.
Goal: Lock in your direction.
Goal: Create a full research artifact.
Goal: Translate research into impact.
You'll be expected to maintain a project record throughout the summer. This includes:
These materials should evolve over time. We will check in on them at three points: June 1, June 15, and August 1.
You're in charge of your timeline. We're here to help you succeed, not micromanage.
We value concrete artifacts over speculative writing. Let your prototype speak.
Use intuition, creative coding, weird prototypes, and high-variance approaches.
We avoid dense academic speak. Clarity and accessibility matter.
If you hit a wall, someone else may already have a ladder. Share early, share often.
By the end of this program, you will have:
