The Aurora Research Initiative (ARI)

The governance, epistemic, and methodological foundation that defines how scientific AI must be conducted across the Aurora ecosystem.

Organization

The hub for the Aurora Research Initiative.

Independent research organization operating under the Aurora Research Initiative, developing reproducible and falsifiable scientific workflows.

Explore Projects

Waveframe Labs is the operational hub for ARI. We publish the Aurora Workflow Orchestration (AWO) method, ship the CRI-CORE tooling that ensures deterministic execution and verifiable provenance for each workflow run, and apply the stack to frontier research—e.g., Waveframe v4.0 (cosmology) and the Societal Health Simulator.

Method-first: AWO defines roles, artifacts, and falsifiability.

Deterministic tooling: CRI-CORE enforces run-level provenance.

Open artifacts: Text & media CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 · Code Apache-2.0.

About the Founder

I’m Shawn C. Wright, an independent researcher developing deterministic AI–human workflows and the governance systems that make scientific AI reproducible, auditable, and falsifiableI design the institutional layer (ARI), the methodological layer (AWO), and the execution layer (CRI-CORE) that together form a complete framework for verifiable AI-assisted research. My work spans cosmology, systems science, workflow design, and epistemic governance — with all outputs published openly and reproducibly.

Notes

Custom domain: waveframelabs.org. No-build static site. Keep .nojekyll in root. Edit index.html and push to main to deploy.
