Abstract

This technical note audits dated 2025 claims about recursive AI drift against later external developments and model behavior. It separates chronology, correspondence, partial support, failures, and unresolved questions rather than treating later events as direct validation of the full architecture.

Plain-language overview

Research question

How do dated 2025 claims about recursive AI drift compare against later external developments and model behavior?

Main contribution

  • Audits dated 2025 recursive-AI-drift claims against later developments and observed model behavior.
  • Separates chronology, correspondence, partial support, failures, and unresolved questions.

Evidence type

Literature audit

Current limitations

The note deliberately avoids treating later events as direct validation of the full architecture; several questions remain unresolved.

Explicit falsifiers

  • The dated source claims do not precede the compared developments, or the claimed correspondence fails a preregistered coding rubric.

Open obligations

  • Publish a claim-by-claim source ledger, comparison rubric, negative cases, and independent coding review.
