Bounded Autoresearch: Operator-Constrained Automation in Transcript-Derived Research Systems

This research object contains the full artifact bundle for the working paper: "Bounded Autoresearch: Operator-Constrained Automation in Transcript-Derived Research Systems." The paper describes a bounded automation architecture for research systems in which automated operators generate candidate research actions that must pass through human admissibility judgment before altering working state. The architecture preserves a non-erasing transcript archive and ensures that all research actions remain reconstructable from retained evidence. The archive contains the publication PDF, the rebuildable manuscript source, machine-readable tables, the reproducible figure source, and the transcript artifacts documenting the design, interpretation, and assembly of the research object. The paper is part of the Reflexive Laboratory working paper series examining transcript-derived research systems and AI-assisted research infrastructures. Repository DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19026495
