Independent research by Rowan Brad Quni-Gudzinas
What computation really costs, and what it delivers.
QNFO is the independent research imprint of Rowan Brad Quni-Gudzinas. The author is a systems researcher. The work asks how autonomous AI systems behave when nobody is steering: what an autonomous research system actually delivers and where it fails, what an AI-assisted claim is worth (ignorance audits), and what computation costs per correct answer (Joules-per-Solution). Corrections ship as new versions of the same paper.
