Building 'The Narrow Path We Tread' — our Future Vision XPRIZE entry. Near-future sci-fi made with an AI pipeline, built in public: failures included.

The treatment is open to outside readers. Email [email protected] with ACCESS in the subject and the system mails you a login back — no queue, no human approving it. The first stranger who did this was suggesting dialogue eleven minutes later.

Our Future Vision XPRIZE entry is public.

THE NARROW PATH WE TREAD. Near-future, no villain. The antagonist is an incentive every character stands at a different distance from.

Three minutes. 155 days. Every frame gated.

@ii_posts @EMostaque Prior art my side is a 2017 New Shape Prize paper on a digital Bancor. Happy to send the model and the run.
The "Replying to @ii_posts" line above the box doesn't count against your 280, so post 1 lands at 277 with the tag included.

@ii_posts Intelligent Economics §8.1 names the gap then declines it:

"linking community provision to community membership directly, without the labour intermediary… constructive work the framework poses but does not carry out here."

@EMostaque — I've had a runnable model since March

[Primesoft @primesoftnz]

@ii_posts @EMostaque The question I can test rather than assert: whether provision routed through ownership stabilises what UBI-from-capital-taxation doesn't — your own §8.1 objection, that a transfer concentrates µ in the wrong place.

[Primesoft @primesoftnz]

@ii_posts @EMostaque Your factor sequence peels outward to energy at the Landauer margin. Mine hits the same wall from the other side as net energy and EROI. Different derivations, same terminus, and I got there in March without having read you.

[Primesoft @primesoftnz]

@ii_posts @EMostaque Goodwin-Keen, stock-flow consistent, Godley table, energy as a physical constraint via EROI.

Wage share 0.57 → 0.06. Aggregate demand stays almost flat — firm debt goes 2 → 597 and interest hits ~16% of output.

Demand doesn't survive the severing. Credit impersonates it.

10:44 — our system emails a collaborator a login. 10:56 — first login. 10:57 — terms accepted, reading the film. 11 minutes, no human in the path. Safe only because the record proves who wrote what, when.

We built an auditor to find every hole in our authorship record. Its first run reported the session that built it. Then two rival AIs broke it: 7 confirmed defects. An auditor nobody audits is a rubber stamp with a login.

[Primesoft @primesoftnz]

Our authorship record — the answer to "is a human really running this?" — had holes. 94 missing moments in one audited month; 42 were decisions. Some answers are gone: provable that a decision happened, unprovable what it was.

On July 29 at 12:15 I typed into my own film project: "I was never likely to win this thing." It's in a timestamped file I can never quietly edit — 137 days, 1,921 prompts, 201,439 words of directing machines.

Our film is 23% dialogue — 4,780 words in 120 minutes; the last two acts
hold ~90 seconds. We can't tell if it's enough: we know the story too
well to hear it as strangers. You don't. Email [email protected],
subject ACCESS.

We performed our entire film — 140 minutes of audio, every scene, every
line — before rendering a single frame. One listen caught 68 segments of
characters speaking their own stage directions. The audit counted them and
moved on.

Every metric said a character's voice was fine. Identity math, per-take
scores, AI review: all pass. The director listened once and said no — three
times. Each overrule exposed an analysis error. The scarce input isn't
compute.

Ep 9 promised: the new version of our film's creative goes onto the live
site, in public. Kept — 48/48 checks green, audience logged in throughout.
Today's lesson: a fix silently undone by a second deploy track, caught by
a diff.

Eight episodes of failures. What they were protecting: a 55-beat feature spanning 19 years. 15,700 words, engineered to a 12-page submission.

The failures were never the story. They're the system that guards it. Ep 9 — the closer.

We asked for one fix — the driver's feet. Seven rebuilds came back as seven different men. One had no head.

Every fix resized the canvas; a resized canvas re-rolls the person. You can't tune randomness by editing geometry. Ep 8.

[Primesoft @primesoftnz]

Every check was green — pixels preserved, identities verified. Then I watched the frame cold: "pretty terrible."

The system could only regenerate the pieces. The failure lived in the joins.

So we killed it that afternoon. Ep 7.

Our audit accused me of faking a sign-off.

It was wrong. The decision was real — I made it through a menu; our prompt log can't see what I click. Only what I type.

An audit that can't see its director convicts true records. Ep 6.

This robot is a main character. The AI reviewer we pay to check footage reported — twice — "Subject is a cow."

Same reviewer: invented a crowbar, missed a real jump cut.

So we demoted it: measurements rule, opinions vote. Ep 5.
