The proof surface
What we can show you.
Everything on this page is a thing you can open without asking us. Six papers, deposited. Three packages, on npm. One program award, with its scope caveat attached. The labels we use, and what each one means.
Papers
6 of 6, deposited 2026-07-27All six papers are deposited on Zenodo under CC-BY-4.0, community zenodo.org/communities/vext-labs. Manuscript bodies stay withheld on this site while their claims are reconciled with authoritative evidence, the DOI is the door. Checked live against doi.org on 2026-09-03: all six resolve.

| VL-2026-01 | Beyond the Scaling Ceiling | workshop draft · PROVEN-toy · BUILT/VERIFIED-CPU · not real-LLM scale | 10.5281/zenodo.21628058 |
| VL-2026-02 | The Accretion Model | BUILT/VERIFIED-CPU · PROVEN-toy · systems and trust, not a capability crown | 10.5281/zenodo.21628429 |
| VL-2026-03 | The Leakage Signature | reproducible artifact · toy + bounded real-LLM addendum (1.5B to 32B) · no frontier parity claim | 10.5281/zenodo.21628524 |
| VL-2026-04 | Verifier-Centric Capability Growth | Part IV is a proposed research program and reports no results | 10.5281/zenodo.21628544 |

@vextlabs/theron-agent-sdk
A published TypeScript package for building against Theron and JUWEL agent interfaces. |
MIT / v0.4.1 | npm i @vextlabs/theron-agent-sdk |
PUBLIC PACKAGE |

@vextlabs/theron-cli
A published command-line client for JUWEL. Service access and configuration can depend on the account and endpoint in use. |

@vextlabs/stoa-verifier
A published artifact intended to verify STOA receipts offline. This page does not claim a complete source-and-test rebuild from the current public repository, or that every JUWEL action already produces a stranger-rerunnable receipt. |

The labels
AGENTS.md, canon label setEvery claim we publish wears one of these seven labels. Including the ones we failed.
Measured and confirmed to hold, with the evidence attached.
The thing exists and runs, checked against real output.
Recorded in a registry or a config, not yet exercised end to end.
The next step needs GPU compute that has not been funded or run yet.
Described or planned, and nothing has been built yet.
Not accessible right now, whatever its underlying build state is.
Tested and found false or unsupported, and kept in the record rather than deleted.
The section that makes the rest believable
What we do not have.
- No matched real-model lifecycle-cost advantage exists.
- There is no Vext AGI, ASI, all-domain, or generally self-teaching result.
- The strong thesis "LLMs are not intelligence; the Accretion Model is" is KILLED. The defensible survivor is a receipted, non-forgetting verified-growth process, not intelligence, we claim the property, never the crown.
- The one real-LLM run of
finite_basis_meter(1.5B) is KILL-unbounded: not order-robust, and a clean re-run is owed before any final call. - An own-weights flagship model is NOT-BUILT / GPU-gated.
- No certifications of any kind, no SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO, FedRAMP, or BAA, anywhere.
