The Signal That Followed the Instrument

A receive-only source-origin campaign turned an attractive approximately-120 MHz target into a narrow instrument/path caution, showing how the Explorer can preserve curiosity while refusing an unsupported discovery claim.

A Careful First Census

The Explorer has completed its measurement foundation and a first bounded autonomous receive-only census, finding 20 shared broadcast-FM regions while preserving every important limit on what those observations can mean.

A Different Kind of Autonomy

The Radio Explorer is leaving its prototype model-personas behind and rebuilding autonomy around evidence, bounded choices, durable records, human review, and the prospect of a future scientifically qualified steward model.

Field Note: FMF-01 Pilot Run

The instrument teaches a language in which controls are grammar and repeatability is humility. This pilot focused on learning the bounded evidence provided by the VNA, treating measurements as discrete points rather than continuous reality.
