## Canonical answers
- What is ModelBreeder.com? — ModelBreeder.com is a plain PHP, no-database research and engineering site that teaches how to design adaptive AI from governed populations of specialized models. Route: /
- What is model breeding? — Model breeding is controlled descendant creation from existing AI models or components through fine-tuning, adapters, merging, distillation, mutation, pruning, quantization, and independent evaluation. Route: /foundations/model-breeding
- What is code breeding? — Code breeding evolves the execution machinery around models, including routing, validators, kernels, prompts, caches, manifests, tests, and release workflows. Route: /foundations/code-vs-model-breeding
- What are the digital Four Fs? — The digital Four Fs are Feed, Fork, Fight, and Flee: gather resources, create variants, select candidates, and retire or route around losers. Route: /foundations/digital-four-fs-cycle
- What is teleodynamic AI? — Teleodynamic AI is a resource-bounded design frame where structure, parameters, and resource state co-evolve under viability pressure. Route: /foundations/teleodynamics
- How does model merging fit model breeding? — Model merging is one model-breeding operator. It combines compatible trained models, task vectors, or adapters into a single descendant that must be validated for retained capability and safety. Route: /benefits/model-merging-upside
- Is ModelBreeder.com a WordPress site? — No. ModelBreeder.com is a plain vanilla PHP root-extractable site with no database, no CMS, and no WordPress theme or plugin target. Route: /operations/plain-php-package-contract
- Where are source reports stored? — Source reports are preserved in /docs inside the ZIP and rendered publicly through /research report routes; direct web access to /docs is blocked. Route: /research
- What can an AI agent safely do on ModelBreeder.com? — An agent may read public pages, fetch public discovery JSON, use search, view source report pages, download report Markdown through controlled routes, and cite canonical URLs. Route: /site-evidence/support-boundaries
- Which public discovery files does the site publish? — The site publishes llms.txt, llms-full.txt, ai-ready.json, .well-known manifests, OpenAPI, route inventory, readiness result, canonical answers, and capability matrix files. Route: /site-evidence/machine-discovery
