The ten deepest open questions
The ledger holds 61 open questions. These ten are the deepest.
- A law that gives audit success as a function of location, capacity and mismatch together.
- What makes scrambled information efficiently decodable?
- Can an omission be audited?
- How much can a coalition of agents communicate covertly under a combined structural audit?
- Containment ceilings from measured capacity on real agents, including timing and other implicit channels.
- The surplus law (the odds per logged qubit or bit) on real language-model auditors, measured in bits.
- Is there a trade-off between capability and legibility, and do isometric or logged designs escape it?
- The critical audit rate for realistic network topologies.
- Is γ ≤ π a law of every reasonable black hole?
- What is the extra ringdown content in GW250114?
