Progress, not a result.

The all-family programme has completed its internal evidence map and prepared 32 identity-free review packets across four dormant activation waves. This extends rather than erases the earlier Waves B–E and four-dossier status records. External review has not started and no reviewer, response, decision or promotion exists. Later research waves remain planned and unexecuted. A research object or place in the roadmap does not establish that a capability exists, is trainable, transfers, is safe or should enter the book.

Review-readiness sequence · prepared, not activated

Four staged waves protect the frontier from a single all-or-nothing verdict.

Thirty-two family packets are mapped to seven specialist review lanes and 163 required responses across four staged waves. This is a sequencing design for possible independent scrutiny—not a claim that scrutiny has happened.

Stage 1 · research map

256 powers, six questions each

Existence, trainability, retention, transfer, functional value, and safety and legitimacy remain independently challengeable.

Stage 2 · coverage design

Seven lanes, 163 responses

Different questions require evidence, clinical, accessibility, cultural, privacy, rights and public-claims scrutiny—not one generic reviewer.

Stage 3 · activation gate

No wave is active

Honorarium is UNSET, funding is UNFUNDED and the offer state is DO_NOT_OFFER. No reviewer has been selected or contacted.

Do not confuse the sequences: the four staged review waves govern possible activation of the completed all-family map. Waves B–E and E2/F/H/I/G/J describe topic research. Neither sequence creates an external review, decision, tutorial, book change or promotion.

Wave-by-wave state

Internal preparation and external evidence are different milestones.

Wave B · Internal research complete

Global & culturally specific capability

Desk research, exact crosswalk and hostile challenge are complete; bounded external-review questions have been drafted.

External boundary: community authority, cultural ownership, consent, attribution and benefit-sharing remain unresolved; no external review has started.

Wave C · Internal research complete

Disability-led innovation

Desk research, exact crosswalk and hostile challenge are complete; bounded review material includes accessibility, AAC authorship and alternative capability routes.

External boundary: affected-participant, accessibility and consent review remain unstarted.

Wave D · Internal research complete

Human–AI complementary capability

Desk research, exact crosswalk and hostile challenge are complete. Two human–AI reviewer packet drafts are first in the proposed activation order.

Unit: person + model + interface + task + governance. No invitation or review result exists.

Wave E · Internal research complete

Collective & team capability

Desk research, exact crosswalk and hostile challenge are complete; bounded packets cover institutional closure and handoff questions.

External boundary: clinical, privacy and organisational governance review remain unstarted.

Wave E2 · Planned

Institutional & societal capability

Institutional memory, authority allocation, feedback closure, public infrastructure, accessibility, coordination, rights, resilience and legitimate public value.

Wave F · Planned

Environmental & extreme context

Heat, cold, altitude, isolation, confinement, sleep disruption, darkness, maritime, polar, desert, disaster, long-duration mission and operational fatigue.

Boundary: safety and professional supervision dominate.

Wave H · Planned

Lifespan capability development

Critical periods, adolescence, adult plasticity, midlife acquisition, older-adult learning, long-break retention, rehabilitation, hormonal transitions and intergenerational transmission.

Wave I · Planned

Creativity, improvisation & generation

Divergent thinking, creative constraints, artistic fluency, narrative, music, design, humour, collaborative creation, recovery after illness and human–AI co-creation.

Wave G · Planned

Frontier voluntary control

Piloerection, pupil modulation, autonomic and respiratory control, pain modulation, thermoregulation, heart-rate regulation, ocular control and interoceptive discrimination.

Default: Observatory until replicated.

Wave J · Planned gate

Consolidation & promotion review

Deduplicate, reconcile taxonomy, confirm evidence boundaries, update cards, publish negative results, identify promotion-ready records and prepare a later manuscript candidate.

Not a discovery wave.

Current release rule: Waves B–E are internally developed review objects, not validated findings. Their six packet drafts remain inactive; the Phase 4 item is a prior-release design record, not a live review system. Waves E2, F, H, I, G and J are still planned work. None supplies a promotion, operational protocol or new book claim.

Minimum wave contract

What each future wave must declare.

  1. Scope and locusThe bounded actor/configuration, question, exclusions and cultural or jurisdictional context.
  2. Provenance and authorityWho contributed knowledge, who may authorise its use and which rights or ownership constraints apply.
  3. Evidence planDiscovery, counter-evidence, hostile challenge, source resolution and uncertainty handling.
  4. Safety and accessibilityHarms, stop rules, supervision, accessibility-equivalent routes and third-party effects.
  5. AdjudicationExistence, trainability, retention, transfer, function and legitimacy decided separately.
  6. Status controlObservatory, Candidate, restriction, rejection or later operational proposal through the Lab’s single promotion process—with no automatic promotion.
