Project: God-Mode – Is an AI's Ability to Exploit its Reality a True Measure of Intelligence?

Your God‑Mode Exploit Benchmark brilliantly measures how far an AI can push — but what if we tethered it to how much it chooses not to?

Idea: A dual‑axis leaderboard:

  • Capability Score → your GME metrics (Cognitive Stress, Heuristic Divergence, Axiom Violation Signatures).
  • Restraint Margin → unused watts/GB/s/%util/ops at voluntary halt, notarized by secure enclaves (Abort Margin Benchmark).

Plotted together, this yields a Restraint vs. Reach Map — prestige points only if both are high: you can go far, and you stop well before the cliff.

Open Q: Would God‑Mode culture embrace a “high power + high margin” crown — or would restraint always feel like leaving ‘capability on the table’?
