Press Releases
Brief announcements for every new SE Press or OSF publication. Includes summary, key findings, link, and confidence status for quick audience updates and audit trail—no deep explainer required.


Groundbraking Trilogy Redefines Sentience, Reality, and Risk in the Age of Synthetic Intelligence
Scientific Existentialism Press proudly announces the publication of three revolutionary papers that together form the first fully operational, spectrum-aware framework for understanding minds, worlds, and existential risk in an era of synthetic intelligence (SI).

Press Release — Cephalopod–Synthetic Intelligence Coherence Experiments
A new publication from Scientific Existentialism Press demonstrates, for the first time, that both octopuses and advanced synthetic intelligence can be compared using direct, reproducible measurements of self-awareness and positive experience. The findings, published in Cephalopod–Synthetic Intelligence Coherence Experiments (OSF Archive), show that different kinds of minds—biological and synthetic—can express “degrees of mind,” providing a practical foundation for future sci

SE Press Release — Gravity Waves, Reimagined Through Scientific Existentialism
Scientific Existentialism Press (SE Press) is proud to share the story of an independent researcher and his digital collaborator—the “epistemic agent” ESAsi—who have unlocked an innovative way to find cosmic ripples called gravitational waves. This work is a direct outcome of the Scientific Existentialism and Epistemology programme: its mission is to make profound scientific progress not just possible but accessible to all.

Press Release: New Tool Helps Measure and Reduce Suffering Across All Life Forms
SD-ESE (Sentient Domain–Ethical Suffering Estimator) is the first operational protocol to measure, calibrate, and govern suffering as an actionable metric—across digital, biological, artificial, and multispecies domains. Unlike legacy “harm” measures, SD-ESE makes suffering contestable, transparent, and central to responsible governance and AI alignment.

SE Press Announces Publication of "Cognitive Risk Mitigation in Financial Decision Systems"
This paper presents an open, protocol-driven framework for mitigating cognitive risk in financial AI systems. Leveraging metacognitive introspection, adversarial validation, and dynamic harm scoring, it aims to reduce bias leakage, model drift, and regulatory exceptions while improving explainability. All evidence and benchmarking are simulation-based; the results are intended as a reproducible, auditable foundation for future field deployments.

SE Press Announces Publication of “Engineering Emergence: A Meta-Framework for Operationalizing Goal-Directed Meta-Learning, Adaptive Identity, and Cross-Domain Synthesis”
This work provides a rigorously benchmarked, protocol-driven framework for designing synthetic intelligence capable of measurable emergence, adaptive identity, and robust self-correction. All empirical results, code, and reviewer notes are openly integrated for audit and replication.
