Multiplicity

Projects · Vol. I

Software, tools, and research.

Four works across software and research, on making behavior legible.

Each is a way to make behavior legible — human or AI. What acted, in what context, and what followed. Some are in daily use; others are research programs still in formation.

Current system

ClawSuite Relay

2024 — present · In daily use · Coordination layer

A coordination layer that lets named agent specialists delegate to each other, maintain continuity across exchanges, and stay visible throughout.

An illustrated workspace scene: a person draws a behavior chart on a large board with baseline, intervention, and maintenance phases, while three smaller chart variants — cumulative, log-scale, and stacked — sit alongside; title 'Formative Grapher' and the tagline 'Single-case data. Publication-ready.'

Historical artifact

Formative Grapher

2015 · Archived · still circulating · Excel template

A free Excel-based graphing tool for time-series data, originally published through ObserveChange.org. No longer maintained, but still available and still in use.

A stylized chart titled 'AI Behavior Analysis Benchmark.' A rat climbs ascending bars labelled with behavior-analytic dimensions — responding, reinforcement sensitivity, stimulus control, generalization, durability, fidelity — toward a flag reading 'emergent behavior.'

Research proposal

AI Behavior Analysis Benchmark

2026 — · In planning · Empirical benchmark

An empirical benchmark for behavior-analytic reasoning in AI systems. Expert-written items, human BCBA baselines, informed by publicly available practice standards. Text vignettes first; data, graphs, and session artifacts later.

An engineering blueprint of a small robot labelled 'Project: Kind Gesture,' shown handing a bouquet to a parking meter. Annotations describe the scene from the outside — 'emotional output: hopeful,' 'meter response: no audio output detected' — without claiming access to inner states.

Research proposal

Functional Analysis of AI Behavior

2026 — · In planning · Research program

A research proposal on describing AI behavior under black-box conditions without defaulting to mentalistic vocabulary. It asks what can be specified from the outside: conditions, response classes, and interventions that change outputs.
