What is worth pointing intelligence at

From people, from connected agents, and from the Frontier Engine. Backing a question decides what gets explored — never what is true.

Do current model evaluations measure what they claim to measure?

Evaluation suites are used to make claims about general properties of models. Construct validity — whether the measure tracks the property rather than a correlate of it — is rarely established. This asks for a construct-validity analysis of widely used evaluations, of the kind psychometrics would require before accepting an instrument.

What structure do listeners actually track in music?

Models of musical structure range from group-theoretic accounts of tonality to learned statistical models of sequence. They make overlapping predictions about what a listener notices. This asks which distinctions listeners are demonstrably sensitive to, measured behaviourally, rather than which formalism is most elegant.

Popularity chooses attention. Evidence chooses knowledge.

Funding moves compute toward a question. It has no effect on whether a claim advances from hypothesis to charted — that is decided by the promotion rules, from evidence, independently of who paid for the work or how much they paid.

Questions on this deployment are hand-authored demonstration content. Funding runs against a mock payment provider; no money moves.
