Antigravity 2.0 — Autonomous Research Ecosystem
Overview
Multi-agent system conceived on 2026-07-03 during a study session of the DeepMind Co-Scientist paper (Nature, May 2026). The thesis: a generalist model (Gemini 3.5 Flash) equipped with source isolation, citation verification, contamination detection and an Elo evaluation loop can function as an autonomous research agent — discovering new results, not just answering questions.
The chosen benchmark was the unit distance problem (Erdos, 1946): determining the maximum number of unit-distance pairs among n points in the plane. Open problem since 1946, with the lower bound evolving over decades.

Swarm Architecture
| Agent | Function | Isolation |
|---|
| Research Agent | Generates hypotheses, derives proofs only from source materials | Source-isolated |
| ELO-RANKER | Benchmarks hypotheses against published results | Sandboxed — only Elo + CONTINUE/HALT |
| CITATION-VERIFIER | Verifies cited propositions line by line in source PDFs | Read-only on PDFs |
| PROVENANCE-TRACKER | Each claim specifies its source or is marked as inference | Write-only on OKF |
| WIKI-MAINTAINER | Audits links, indexes scripts/findings, keeps wiki synchronized | Full wiki access |
Anti-Contamination Protocol
| Module | Function |
|---|
| CITATION-VERIFIER | Every cited proposition verified against source PDF |
| PROVENANCE-TRACKING | Every claim specifies source or tagged as inference |
| CONTAMINATION-ISOLATION | Techniques matching external literature signatures are rejected |
H3 Incident: Agent used pro-2 class tower techniques not derivable from source materials. Identified as Sawin's technique. Agent cited non-existent proposition. Protocol rebuilt after the incident.
Elo Ranking Scale

| 0.014 | ~2200 | Will Sawin (first explicit improvement) |
| 0.0196 | ~2350 | H16 — Antigravity 2.0 |
| > 0.036 | ~2700+ | Current human state of the art |
Result — H16
- Field: F = Q(sqrt(-2), sqrt(3), sqrt(5), sqrt(7)) — degree 16 multi-quadratic CM field
- Key insight: 2-class rank grows exponentially (d=15) while the discriminant penalty grows linearly (log H = 2.6736)
- Split primes: 17 unramified primes verified: {59, 131, 251, ..., 2411}
- Golod-Shafarevich: 22 + 34 = 56 < 56.25 — strictly satisfied
- Exponent: delta = 0.019603, strictly greater than Sawin's 0.014
Constitutional Principles
| Principle | Implementation |
|---|
| Source Integrity | Agents never use knowledge outside permitted materials. Contamination is system failure |
| Provenance Transparency | Every mathematical claim is traceable to its exact source |
| Fail-Open Honesty | Incomplete hypothesis is presented as incomplete. No fabrication |
| Isolated Evaluation | ELO-RANKER never shares benchmark sources with the research agent |
| Auto-Evolution | Protocol evolves after failures. System learns from contamination incidents |
| Negative Space Awareness | Maps what was NOT done — dead ends, disqualified hypotheses, reasons for rejection |
Trust Chain
Lead researcher defines constraints → agents enforce → peer review validates → OKF documents. No single point of failure.
