# Two Point Singularity

> If genes are why humans exist, and stories are how humans scaled to civilisations, then coherence is why humans believe in stories. Two Point Singularity, by Venkat Rao, proposes two thresholds: the technological singularity (machine intelligence passing ours) and the coherence singularity (humans becoming coherent enough to direct it). The second singularity has to come first.

## The idea
- [What is Two Point Singularity?](https://twopointsingularity.com/what-is-two-point-singularity/): the canonical explanation at four depths, for different readers, with origin, objections and how to cite.
- [Glossary](https://twopointsingularity.com/glossary/): one-line definitions of every term.

## Neev, the series and the app
- [The Neev app](https://twopointsingularity.com/neev-app/): a free coherence audit that shows who holds you; answers stay on your phone.
- [Neev](https://twopointsingularity.com/neev/): a five-part Hinglish series on why humans believe in stories; premieres Friday 8 January 2027, 7 pm IST.

## The story
- [The story](https://twopointsingularity.com/story/): no mind is enough on its own, so we borrow each other’s; five movements from two hunters to machines that learn from us. Two tracks: Neev (the practice: who holds you) and Signal ≠ Value (the research: AI feedback depends on the state of the person who gave it).

## Research
- [Signal ≠ Value Lab](https://twopointsingularity.com/lab/): the companion lab to the paper Signal ≠ Value (2026): evidence, where human signals enter AI, a flip test, the full design simulation and the claims ledger. Also at https://cwhf.vercel.app/. Not evidence about real people; no data collected yet.
- [Corrections and changes](https://twopointsingularity.com/corrections/): a public log.
- [Coherence Intelligence: the signal is not the value](https://twopointsingularity.com/research/coherence-intelligence/): white paper v2.2; a framework for measuring the state behind human feedback. Theoretical; pre-registered; untested.
- [CWHF: Coherence-Weighted Human Feedback](https://twopointsingularity.com/research/cwhf/): whether pressure leaves a consistent lean in human feedback used to train AI; the paper Signal ≠ Value (November 2026): six tests specified, three simulated, not yet tested. Earlier registration OSF.IO/W7NYH.
