New AT Proto architectural diagram just dropped 👀 arxiv.org/abs/2609.21608

Schematic diagram of the AT Protocol architecture, with modifiable components and data access
infrastructure highlighted. This representation is a simplified adaptation of the architecture presented in
the original paper [78]. We refer readers to that work for more comprehensive technical details.

Despite a growing demand for causal evidence about social media, independent researchers remain severely
constrained in their ability to conduct experiments directly on online platforms. To cope, multiple method-
ological workarounds have emerged—from controlled surveys and simulations to client-side overlays and
platform partnerships—each requiring distinct trade-offs between desirable experimental properties. The
recent emergence of open social media platforms offers a qualitatively different methodological opportunity.
Here we propose a design space of social media experimentation and discuss Open Platform Field Experiments
(OPFEs). OPFEs represent a distinct class of experimental approaches that enable independent researchers
to directly intervene on functional platform components—such as clients, recommendation systems, and
moderation services—within live social media environments. Through a comparative analysis of experimental
archetypes, we show that OPFEs occupy a previously unexplored region of the design space. We then bridge
theory and practice by characterizing the architectural and governance elements that enable OPFEs, mapping
them onto Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and illustrating the end-to-end lifecycle of a complete OPFE design.
Overall, this work establishes OPFEs as a practical methodol…

so, @smarmy.space 's new landing page at samheckle.com has me thinking again about the glitch. In my diss, I landed on the idea that the aesthetic moment of the glitch is characterized by the slippage, oscillation and freeplay of the dynamic between signal and noise.
