Language models reason in a line. They write one token after another into a single transcript, and when a step goes wrong they rewind in text and try again. Interference Search reasons over explicit states instead. Every live branch expands at once, the environment executes the moves, branches that land on the same state merge into one, a small trained judge drops the ones that can no longer reach the goal, and the survivors advance together one level at a time. The name comes from quantum search, where wrong paths cancel each other out. The method itself is classical and claims no quantum speedup. This repository has the code, the trained judge, every raw result and the research log, failed experiments included. The paper is paper/PAPER.pdf, also on badtheorylabs.com. paper/CLAIMS.md maps each number in it to the file and command that produced it. The 30-second video shows Qwen3-1.7B thinking in…

Topics and intended use

No topics were included in the latest source metadata.

Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.

Evaluate before installing

Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
