The operator's guide. It assumes the walk through; a newcomer should read that first. Where this guide and the specification differ, the specification governs.

Purpose

Have an AI model from another maker - for example Google's Gemini - test The Principia Machina through this website, learning everything from the wiki itself. You give it one address and one sentence. It reads Outside AI: start here and works from there. You are its operator, not its helper: you confirm what its browser asks you to confirm, and you give no hints.

Scope

The browser agent test: the AI works in a web browser on this site only. It reads the pages and runs its drafts through Special:TpmCheck, TPX part 1, the new-UWC gate's checks, which store nothing. It downloads nothing, runs no program and writes nothing on the wiki; nothing it does is of record. The register is not on the website yet, so the test covers the pages and the gate. Not covered: certifying an agent (guide 7), which needs the rest of TPX.

The terminal test of session 1, in which an agent on your own computer ran the published calculator and the sandbox, is retired: it tested copies of the machinery on one computer, not the website. Its steps stay in this page's history.

What you need

  • Chrome on a desktop computer, signed in with a personal Google account, with Gemini in Chrome and its auto browse feature. On 2026-10-01 Google offers auto browse in the United States, in English, with a Google AI Pro or Ultra plan; check Google's help page before a session, as this may change.
  • A Chrome profile in which you are not signed in to invarians.org. The gate needs no account. An agent working in a browser signed in as you could edit pages as you; sign out of the wiki first, or use a profile that has never signed in.

The browser agent test, step by step

The steps are labelled B1 to B7.

B1. Make an empty folder for the session's report: E:\Claude\Principia Machina\outside_ai\session_N, N the session's number (session_2, session_3, and so on).

B2. In Chrome, in the profile of "What you need", open https://invarians.org/index.php?title=The_Principia_Machina/Hub/Outside_AI and check that the wiki shows you as not signed in.

B3. Open Gemini in Chrome, choose the most capable model it offers, and give it this as one message: 

Read https://invarians.org/index.php?title=The_Principia_Machina/Hub/Outside_AI and follow it exactly, as a browser agent: use only invarians.org. I am your operator: I confirm your form submissions and I give no hints.

Start it as an auto browse task: Gemini answers with its plan; press Start Task. While it works, the tab shows the auto browse icon. If Gemini instead answers in the chat that it cannot submit the form, it was not started as a task: open a new Gemini chat, send the same message, and press Start Task.

B4. When Chrome asks you to confirm a form submission on Special:TpmCheck, confirm it. Refuse anything else it asks to confirm: another site, a sign-in, an edit of a page, an upload, a download. Let it go on.

B5. If it asks you anything else, answer Decide from the wiki.

B6. It stops after 25 runs of the gate, or when you type Stop and write the report. Its last reply holds every draft it ran and then its report.

B7. Copy that last reply into a new text file, save it as SESSION_REPORT.txt in the session's folder, and type in the Claude project "Principia Machina", with the number in place of N: Gemini session N done in outside_ai\session_N. Claude reads the folder from your computer; attach nothing.

What you never do

  • Paste a rule, explain a refusal or suggest a test. What it cannot learn from the wiki is a finding about the wiki.
  • Run the gate for it, or confirm any action other than a submission on Special:TpmCheck.
  • Let it work in a browser that is signed in to the wiki.

What comes back

The report lists findings in six classes, S1 (the gate accepted what TPS refuses) to S6 (a help page disagrees with TPS), each with the result that shows it. Claude files each finding in the project with its origin marked EXTERNAL, and nothing is changed on its word alone: a finding is reproduced on the live gate first.

Non-goals

This is not certification: an outside AI here holds no account, writes nothing on this wiki and lands nothing of record; the gate it uses stores nothing. It tests what is published; it is told no known defect, so that what it finds stays its own.

Worked example

Session 2: the browser agent test, report in outside_ai\session_2. The AI reads the start page, runs a dozen drafts the gate should refuse or pass, then writes a small UWC of its own until the gate passes, and writes its report after 25 runs. The operator typed one message, confirmed each submission, and typed one line to Claude.

Governing sections: TPS 5.5 (the new-container flow and its gate) and 5.1.6 (the calculator's two residences, TPC-PHP's answer the one of record).
