Research

BlackMind studies machine intelligence at its true substrate — compiled bytecode, Boolean logic, and standard-cell silicon. Every capability claim is discharged by machine proof, and every number re-derives from a committed, machine-checked receipt.

On-Chain Bayer–Groth Shuffle Verification for Dealerless Texas Hold'em

A nine-handed Texas Hold'em system on Solana with no dealer, no server and no house. The players' own clients shuffle and deal to each other with mental-poker cryptography, and Solana programs verify every key, shuffle and card reveal on chain before a card moves — the first system to check a transparent Bayer–Groth shuffle argument natively inside Solana programs.

Morpheus: A Categorical Programming Language for Deep Learning

A language where category theory is the type system — every program that type-checks is a structurally valid architecture, and the compiler can prove it in Lean 4.

Alphamon: Bit-Exact GPU Self-Play, a Training-Free Value Bound, and Search-Dominated Play

An AlphaGo-style agent for the Pokémon TCG — with bit-exact GPU self-play, a training-free ceiling on what learning can buy, and search-dominated play.

A Conditioning-Emergence Probe for Latent Diffusion Transformers

BlackMind's first image model: a latent diffusion transformer trained from scratch on CC12M whose prompt-conditioning is measured climbing from chance to 24% of the caption ceiling — plus a Muon optimiser win and a purpose-built CLIP metric that tracks prompt-conditioning the training loss does not capture.

Calibrated Prediction Across 16 Sports, and the Honest Wall of the Closing Line
August 7, 2026v0.0.1Sports prediction marketsModel calibration & leakage auditing

Calibrated Prediction Across 16 Sports, and the Honest Wall of the Closing Line

Well-calibrated models beat naive baselines everywhere and the liquid closing line nowhere — an adversarially audited map of where a sports-betting edge actually lives.

Learnability of pump.fun Meme Tokens

Leakage-free, regime-aware modeling of whether a meme token graduates — and what happens after it does.

GCPU: A CPU-First Training Runtime and Morpheus, a Categorical Deep-Learning Language

Two attacks on the GPU chokehold: make a commodity CPU behave like a training accelerator, and make a compiler check your architecture is categorically valid before it ever runs.

Is Bitcoin's Fair Value Learnable? A Four-Round Microstructure Study

Fitting linear, tree, and neural models to predict BTC fair-market value from bar and order-book microstructure — and measuring how little forward signal survives.

On the Impossibility of Universal LLM Halting Prediction

No computable judge, however large, can decide truth or human-versus-machine authorship for every input — the Halting Problem forbids it.
