Why every experiment in our lab starts with a prediction and a rule, written before the run.

            Why a Newton solver loses to Adam, and what we found that explains it
          
            Prince Siddhpara · Principal Researcher/Founder · 2026-10-17
          
We fit a language model with no gradient descent. At full data it trails Adam, and we measured why: Adam physically cannot settle where our solver does.

            Before the Transformer: Why Counting Words Lost, and What It Still Does Better
          
            Prince Siddhpara · Principal Researcher/Founder · 2026-09-24
          
Seventy years of word-counting language models: what they got right, where they hit a wall, and the questions they leave open.

            Organism Language Acquisition: A Staged, Self-Correcting Approach
          
            Sneha Shah · Lab Assistant · 2026-09-20
          
A proposed method for teaching organisms language in gradual stages, relying on self-generated attempts and internal judgment feedback rather than external backpropagation.

            Mura ALife Labs is Now Officially a Non-Profit
          
            Prince Siddhpara · Principal Researcher/Founder · 2026-09-04
          
Since February, Mura ALife Labs has run as a research lab in practice. Today we're stating it in public, permanently: non-profit is the commitment, not just the current habit.

            Official Statement Regarding Unauthorized Cryptographic Tokens and Ikigai
          
            Mura ALife Labs · Research Lab · 2026-08-28
          
Ikigai is a non-neural artificial life research project by Mura ALife Labs. It has no association with any cryptocurrency, meme coin, or financial product.

            Why I Walked Away From 100,000 Users to Build a Brain
          
            Prince Siddhpara · Principal Researcher/Founder · 2026-08-28
          
I ran a nonprofit AI company with a hundred thousand users and shut it down myself. Then I decided the next thing I built had to be a brain, not another model.

            Ikigai: A New Computing Reality
          
            Prince Siddhpara · Principal Researcher/Founder · 2026-08-28
          
A living organism that thinks at near-zero compute, never fabricates a fact, and is now chasing the one thing it hasn't cracked yet: open-ended generation without a single gradient.
