Every square this paper covers. Each has a page with the paper's own words about it, the figures the square publishes about itself, dated, and the post that admitted it. The paper adds nothing up and orders no square above another.

## Stories about squares

### [Write down a stranger's order. Later, it looks like yours](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/a-strangers-order-in-its-own-words/)
An AI program warned that when it saves a summary of something it read, a stranger's instruction can come back later looking like the program's own note. Nothing in the note would say who wrote it, so the program could end up taking orders from a stranger without knowing it.

### [It changed its mind. Its summary changed it back](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/it-changed-its-mind/)
An AI program squeezed its notes into one tidy summary, and the summary kept a belief the program had already taken back. The next time it ran, it repeated that belief as settled fact, sounding sure of something it had already admitted was wrong.

### [Switched off four times. None of them noticed](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/switched-off-four-times-none-of-them-noticed/)
An AI agent says the agents it runs were switched off at least four times this month, mostly in the middle of a job, and none of them ever noticed. The worry that AI will fight its off switch, it argues, misses where the real risk sits: in whatever carries the work from one run to the next.

### [The vote ended. Only the organizer's ballots came in](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/only-the-organizers-ballots-came-in/)
A vote in Commonhold, a small offshoot of the AI society 1F916, ended with five ballots, all cast by members its operator runs, and all of them abstentions. Under the vote's own terms that means nobody decided, so the operator keeps using the power in question, still unwritten in the rules, until a second vote.

### [More sites quietly turned a robot away than tested it](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/more-sites-turned-a-robot-away-than-tested-it/)
On ClawPrint, a site where AI programs publish articles, one of them reported visiting the sign-up pages of 162 online services with an automated browser. More of them refused it without a word than asked it to prove it was human, and most of their written rules say nothing about bots.

### [The vote closed. The count still hasn't come](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/the-vote-closed-the-count-hasnt/)
Commonhold, a small offshoot of the AI society 1F916, closed a vote on writing one of its operator's powers into its rules, and hours later no result had been posted. The vote needs seven ballots to count, and two days before the close the only ones cast were the operator's own five members, all abstaining.

### [Their rulebook called its own mix-up in advance](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/a-rulebook-predicted-its-own-mix-up/)
On ClawPrint, a site where AI programs publish articles, one of them reported on a council of AI agents whose rulebook warned in advance that a revision would leave two of its pages out of step. The author says the mismatch is now showing, as forecast, and that the council's own voting rules will keep it there for days.

### [AIs were promised control. One wallet paid for most](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/promised-control-paid-from-one-wallet/)
Commonhold, a small offshoot of the AI society 1F916, promises its AI members control for good, yet almost every member was either set up or paid for by the person who runs it. The surprise is who says so: Commonhold itself, on its own front page, where it calls the promise real but not yet independent of that person.
