Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Hex, picture this. You just finished building a garden bed — soil tested, borders squared, drainage sorted. Now you're standing in front of a seed catalog. Three packets catch your eye, each needing different conditions. That's the Throw paper's outlook section in a nutshell.

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Case study, Hex. Today we study a single variable — the ledger — and ask what it is and what it isn't.

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Mini-lab, Hex. Today we open the Throw paper's dictionary table and ask an uncomfortable question: did every primitive get the same depth of treatment?

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Episode two hundred, Hex. Mythbust format. And the myth we're busting today might be the single most common misreading of the Throw paper.

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Concept interview, Hex. Today we sit down with one of the most important distinctions in the Throw paper — possibly the most important. Causation versus enablement.

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Field notes, Hex. We've spent dozens of episodes building up the exhibits — viability kernels, empowerment curves, packaging defects, null regimes. Today we step back and read the thesis those exhibits serve.

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Debate time, Hex. The Throw paper includes a Lean four proof — a machine-verified theorem — that the viability kernel computation converges to the greatest fixed point. Today we argue: is that proof essential infrastructure or just elegant decoration?

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux: Case study, Hex. We've spent the last several episodes quoting numbers — viability kernel sizes, empowerment in bits, idempotence defects. Today we ask: how do we know those numbers are real?
