This change is already producing legitimate novelty, including peer-reviewed work where AI-assisted exploration contributed to key steps later subjected to independent verification. However, it also brings a new class of failure modes: opaque AI influence, fragile reasoning masked by fluent prose, and a growing difficulty in distinguishing rigorous advances from plausible artifacts. Gauge Freedom Journal (GFJ) launches to help establish a new norm: provenance-first, open, energy-aware physics publishing. We encourage a dual-layer disclosure standard for AI-assisted research: AI Integrity Reports as concise human-readable summaries and Content-Addressable Receipts (CARs) as machine-verifiable audit trails. We invite the builders of this new era—independent researchers, interdisciplinary teams, and early adopters of agentic science—to join us. Our aim is simple: as AI accelerates discovery, the scientific method must become more visible, not less. ## Article Types - [Research Article](https://www.gaugefreedom.org/manuscript_type/research/) - [Short Communication](https://www.gaugefreedom.org/manuscript_type/short/) - [Editorial](https://www.gaugefreedom.org/manuscript_type/editorial/) ## Workflow Stages - [Rejected](https://www.gaugefreedom.org/manuscript_stage/rejected/) - [Published](https://www.gaugefreedom.org/manuscript_stage/published/) ## Volumes & Issues - [Volume 1 (2026)](https://www.gaugefreedom.org/issue/volume_1/) - [Issue 1](https://www.gaugefreedom.org/issue/issue_1/)
