On October 25, 2026, Professor Shenyang of Tsinghua University proposed self-evolving mathematics (the PCU framework), self-evolving algorithm optimization (the PAE framework), self-evolving software engineering (the ECX paradigm), and two endgame prospects for the future structure of AI society. In reports the same day, he also warned that AI society could slide into a "three-layer folding" abyss of "high technology, low rationality, and strong rigidity." The reports mentioned that his team used AI to rank 118,511 mathematical conjectures, with the Goldbach conjecture placing only 49th; in the "Xiaosenlin" project, rendering time dropped from 138–182 milliseconds to 18–19 milliseconds, a sharp reduction of 86%–90%.

Professor Shen Yang of Tsinghua University on the AI endgame: Will humans be left with only the right to sign off?
Professor Shen Yang of Tsinghua University proposed three frameworks—self-evolving mathematics (PCU), self-evolving algorithm optimization (PAE), and self-evolving software engineering (ECX)—and warned that an AI society may slide into a "three-layer folding" abyss of "high technology, low rationality, and strong rigidity." His team used AI to rank 118,511 mathematical conjectures, and the Goldbach conjecture placed only 49th; in the "Xiao Sen Lin" project, rendering time dropped from 138–182 milliseconds to 18–19 milliseconds, a sharp reduction of 86%–90%.
