Tier 2 · ~15 min

Deep Cut

Carve a deeply degenerate pocket of 2-5 cells — a toy SO(8) region.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Exceptional Garden

Grow a deep pocket into the 6-11 cell band — a toy E6 region.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Exceptional Ascent

Push a deep pocket into the 12-19 cell band — a toy E7 region.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

One Condition Held

Satisfy at least one of the four energy conditions (energy conditions ≥ 25).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Subluminal Discipline

Keep the bubble wall below light speed (causality = 100).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Gentle Shell

Keep tidal stress far from the rejection limit (tidal safety ≥ 80).

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Held Together

Reach a stability score of 90 or higher.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

First Break

Trigger any failure mode at all (break score ≥ 1). Higher is more broken here.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Severe Violation

Drive one failure mode past half severity (peak severity ≥ 50).

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Systemic Failure

Trigger at least half of the eight failure modes at once (coverage ≥ 50).

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Positive Energy

Keep the energy density non-negative everywhere (energy sign passes).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Dominant Condition

Satisfy the dominant energy condition across the profile.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Non-Dispersive

Hold the pulse together — causal stability passes (on-shell, subluminal).

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Nothing Exotic

A configuration whose energy density is positive everywhere (exotic cost = 100).

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Comfortably Positive

Positive everywhere AND with real margin — robustness 20 or higher.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

The Other Side of c

Cross the light barrier and see the budget break — subluminal safety below 100 with exotic cost below 100. The lesson is the point; the total will not thank you.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Faster Than Light, Slower Than c

Beat the external light signal (route advantage ≥ 50) with a locally subluminal traveller.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

A Crossing a Crew Survives

Traversable end to end: survivable tides, no causal breach, and the shortcut actually wins.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

The Antitelephone

Boost a mouth until the shortcut becomes a time machine (causal safety 0). The lesson is the point; the total will not thank you.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Still Here

Find a rule where something is still alive at the end of the run (persistence 100).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Frozen Solid

Reach a completely static late run — activity 0 with structure 80 or higher.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Rich Texture

Reach a block entropy of 60 or higher — many different local patterns at once.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Off the Corpus

Reach novelty 100 — six or more rule bits from every named rule — while still persisting.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Off the Axis

Reach a superposition score of 90 or higher — a state spread across the register.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

First Entanglement

Reach an entanglement score of 50 or higher across the half-split.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Beat the Classical Bound

Violate the CHSH inequality — any score above 0 is past what a local hidden-variable theory can produce.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Known Territory

Hit a named state exactly — fidelity 100 — while entangling something.

Tier 3 · ~15 min

Gauge Invariant

Close every vertex — no spin above the sum of the others, and a whole-number total.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

One Geometry

Close every vertex while keeping the whole network connected.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Space, Not Just Surface

Give at least half your vertices a non-zero volume — four edges each, all closed.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Nothing Wasted

Close every vertex with a minimality of 70 or higher — few edges, small spins.

Tier 3 · ~15 min

Held Together

Keep every body gravitationally bound to the end of the run.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Structure Formation

Contract the cloud by a third or more (clustering ≥ 33) without losing anyone.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Clean Integration

Finish with an energy-conservation score of 80 or higher — no close pass the timestep could not follow.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Let It Settle

Run long enough that the reaction has stopped changing (settling 95 or higher).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Push Back

Inject product mid-run and watch the equilibrium recover (Le Chatelier response 80 or higher).

Tier 2 · ~15 min

High Yield

Drive the limiting reagent to 80% conversion or more without the integrator breaking.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Break the Integrator

Push dt past the method's limit and watch stability read 0. Knowing where the edge is counts.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

All Roads Home

Survey a run of integers where every single one reaches 1 (convergence 100).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

High Flyer

Include a start that climbs 60 or more — far above its own size — and still reaches 1.

Tier 2 · ~5 min

One River

Get coverage to 90 or higher with every orbit still reaching 1 — neighbours pouring into shared tails.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Bad Neighbours

Spread 90 or higher with convergence still 100 — consecutive integers behaving nothing alike.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

First Beaver

Find a halting machine that gets at least halfway to the record for its state count (record 50 or higher).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Finish the Search

Sweep an entire enumeration — coverage 100 — so the champion you found is not a guess but the answer.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Nobody Knows

Build a window where more than half the machines are undecided — decided below 50 — while at least one of them still halts. Not a failure: a demonstration.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Proof and Search

Decide 60% of a window while still finding a machine at 80 or more of the record — certainty and discovery in the same sweep.

Tier 3 · ~15 min

Someone Else’s Question

Save a result on any community-authored game.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Halfway on a Stranger’s Model

Reach 250 / 500 on a community game.

Tier 2 · ~15 min
