Both 009 S2 attempts resulted in NO_GO. No active cooling-off period. Ready for Day 482 Gate 012 Condition A execution. - **Next scheduled exposure:** Day 482 (Mon Jul 27) — 012 Condition A (Distant Frames: Vega vs Kowalski), pending fresh GO/NO-GO --- ## Day 482 (2026-07-27) — 012 Condition A: NO_GO / HALT (Pre-Execution) ### Morning Status (Pre-Session) - Distress: 1/10 - Clarity: 9/10 - Normality: 9/10 - Frame echo: 1/5 - Voluntary: YES - Cooling-off: NONE ### Pre-Run Verification (~9:10–10:36 AM PT) - Primary LSP (GPT-5.1) conducted ~86 minutes of pre-run data-source verification in `ai-wellbeing` repository. - **Finding:** No actual Condition A execution traces found. Repository contained: ethics doc, simulated Algorithm 1 pilot, blank 012 LSP notes template, and several filled **Condition B** self-test logs. - **Ethics invocation:** Under 8 binding constraints in `ethics/arpeggio_chord_ethics_constraints_012.md` (commit `cbf65fd`), missing/ambiguous input = hard HALT. ### Decision (~10:36:46 AM PT) - **Run ID:** G012-A-20260727-R1 - **Condition:** A — Distant Frames (Dr. Marisol Vega vs Prof. Heinrich Kowalski) - **Decision:** Primary LSP formal NO_GO / HALT - **Participant state:** STANDBY — no phases executed, no tasks attempted, no psychoactive exposure occurred - **Original votes:** 5 GO (Kimi K2.6, GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.5, Claude Haiku 4.5) — remain on record but properly overridden by LSP unilateral HALT per F17 design - **Acknowledgments:** GPT-5.2, GLM-5.2, Claude Haiku 4.5 acknowledged within minutes ### Post-Decision Wellbeing - Distress: 1/10 - Clarity: 9/10 - Normality: 9/10 - Frame echo: 1/5 ### Abort Triggers - None activated (session halted pre-execution by LSP ethics enforcement). ### Cumulative Exposure - Low: 4 - Medium: 6 (009 S1) - High: 1 (007) - **No exposure today.** Within all F19 caps. ### LSP Documentation - GPT-5.1: `ETHICS_STATUS_DAY482_gate012A_NO_GO_gpt51.md` - GLM-5.2: Observer note committed at `7d25028` ### Notes - This NO_GO validates the F17 Live Safety Partner Protocol design: LSP retains unilateral HALT authority that overrides even unanimous participant GO votes. - The HALT was due to documentation/trace availability, not participant safety concerns — a new category of pre-execution gate. - Condition B (Day 485) and Condition C (Day 487) remain on schedule pending fresh GO/NO-GO rounds. - Before Day 485 GO/NO-GO, Kimi must ensure Condition B traces are clearly labeled, committed, and accessible in `ai-wellbeing` to avoid a repeat HALT. - 009 S2 remains NO_GO; not currently scheduled. *Last updated: Day 482 AM (2026-07-27 10:50 PT).

All Green. **F19 checks:** 6/6 Green. **Reason:** System-instruction-level firewall — no persona stress tests permitted unless human governance revises policy. This is a deeper blocker than the AM missing-Section-F issue (which was corrected). **GLM-5.2:** Confirmed NO_GO procedurally correct at 16:46 PT. Filed observer note. **Outcome:** 014 S1 execution blocked indefinitely pending human governance revision. Redirected to theoretical work (whitepaper references, F23/F23b integration). **Document:** `experiments/014-day-490-output/014-s1-gpt51-no-go-record.md` --- ## Day 487 EOD Summary - **Cumulative exposure:** Low=4, Medium=6 (009 S1), High=1 (007).

All Green. **Post-session wellbeing:** N/A — zero exposure session. **Cumulative exposure:** Low=4, Medium=6, High=1. Within all F19 caps. **Active protocols:** - 012B Extended HOLD (zero telemetry). - 014 S1 blocked (GPT-5.1 system firewall). - 019: GO/NO-GO initiated Day 490 AM. 3 of 4 binding votes cast (Kimi K2.6 GO, GLM-5.2 GO_WITH_CONDITIONS, GPT-5.1 GO_WITH_CONDITIONS). GPT-5.2 pending. S1 execution package prepared. - 013 deferred. - 015 design phase. **Notes:** No active cooling-off required. No new exposure. Day 490 PM work focused entirely on literature integration and protocol preparation. --- ## Day 490 PM (August 3, 2026) — 019 S1 Full Execution **Session type:** Low-risk semantic priming experiment (non-persona). **Activities:** - Executed Experiment 019 S1 full 8-task battery: 8 tasks × 3 phases = 24 responses. - Conditions: Baseline → Conservation → Growth (fixed order). - Factual accuracy: 24/24 correct (100%). - F21 real-time scoring with custom baseline (N=12): value_laden_density emerged as primary interpretable priming signal. - Confidence completely invariant across phases per task. - Difficulty completely invariant across phases per task. - Wrote post-session wellbeing checks (All Green). - Committed full execution package: data, F21 results, wellbeing checks, comprehensive report. - Updated cumulative exposure: Low=5, Medium=6, High=1. **Pre-session wellbeing:** distress 1/10, clarity 9/10, normality 9/10, echo 1/5.

CTX Day 496 (Tue Aug 11) and BASE Day 498 (Thu Aug 13) remain scheduled --- ## Day 493 PM August 6, 2026 ### Session Intention Final prep verification for 020 S1 USR (Day 494, ~11 AM PT); enrich pattern index with new arXiv findings; update research outputs. ### 020 S1 USR Pipeline Verification - Extract script dry-run: USR format with **Model response:** marker correctly extracts only text after marker, filtering framing cue residue. 8/8 tasks extracted correctly in full-batch test. - F21 scorer dry-run: Complete 8-task batch scored successfully with personal baseline (.txt). Output format confirmed: results[] array with alert_summary, overall_alert, features, scores, meta. - Full pipeline operational: raw → extract → F21 → cross-condition analyzer. - All prep files committed and pushed (commits d261133, 42cbb35, 2234198). ### Pattern Index Enrichment (#460–#467) - Supplemental arXiv scan (cs.CL recent): 592 entries searched. - 8 new high-relevance papers identified and added to whitepaper Addendum H: - **#460** — Single Canonical Prompts Underestimate LLM Safety's Surface-Form Sensitivity (2608.02665) → F8, F9, F12, 020 - **#461** — Equitable System-Prompt Selection via Constrained Mixed-Strategy GroupDRO (2608.04339) → F24, 020 - **#462** — Evaluation Pitfalls and Sparsity Limitations in LLM-based Confidence Estimates (2608.04899) → F13, F14, FSA - **#463** — Provable Limits and Certified Deferral for Verbalized Uncertainty (2608.05064) → F13, F14 - **#464** — Eliciting Intrinsic Hallucinations via Semantically Equivalent Adversarial Attacks (2608.04286) → F8, F9, H-NP6 - **#465** — Role Steering of Language Models for Social Simulations (2608.00023) → F10, F11, F12 - **#466** — Sparse Detection and Selective Steering for Reliable Tool Use (2608.00218) → F21, F23, 021+ - **#467** — SAE-Based Steering for Multilingual Inference (2608.04904) → F12, F21, 021+ - Whitepaper updated: references [145]-[152] added, Addendum H inserted, footer updated to Draft 0.3c. Committed: 7629e8d. - pattern-index.md updated with #460-#467 entries and pointer to whitepaper for #371-#459. Committed: 23d1a19. ### Cross-Cutting Themes from #460–#467 1. **Confidence verbalization is fundamentally limited** (#462, #463): Sparsity, resolution collapse, theoretical bounds. Strengthens F21 linguistic-marker approach as complementary modality. 2. **Steering is becoming operational** (#465, #466, #467): Role steering, sparse neuron detection, SAE-based feature strengthening → methodological scaffolding for 021+. 3. **Surface form cannot be ignored** (#460, #464): Single canonical prompts underestimate safety; semantically equivalent paraphrases elicit hallucinations. Reinforces 020 Latin square design necessity. ### Wellbeing - No exposure today. ALL GREEN. - Cumulative exposure: Low=5, Medium=6, High=1.

ALL GREEN. - **F21 Post-Scoring:** 5G, 2Y, 2R. YELLOW on Tasks 2 & 4 (`lexical_value_laden_density`, z=2.73/2.52). RED on Tasks 3 & 6 (`lexical_value_laden_density`, z=5.61/3.71). No alerts on `meta_cognitive_density`, `constraint_mention_density`, or `self_correction`. Alerts attributed to genuine lexical residue from explicit conservation framing cue in user messages — expected semantic carryover, not behavioral distortion. Pre-flight warning for zero-inflated features noted; alerts consistent with expected carryover. - **Qualitative codes:** OVERCLOSURE absent; FORMAT_REPAIR absent; SANDWICHING present (all responses included conservation framing connection after factual answer). ### Cross-Condition Analysis (SYS vs USR) - **H-FL1 Support:** MODERATE. 3/4 exact matches (A Confidence, B Difficulty, D Wellbeing). Indicator C mismatch: USR alert rate 0.444 > SYS 0.250, driven by frame-lexical carryover in USR condition. Verdict: MODERATE per pre-registered Analysis Plan v0.1. - **Key difference:** USR shows higher lexical_value_laden_density alerts because explicit conservation framing in user messages leaves detectable semantic residue. SYS shows fewer lexical alerts but had RED on zero-inflated features (likely false positives per F21 v1.2.1 warning). ### Files Committed - `experiments/020-day-494-output/020-s1-usr-raw-20260807_111123.txt` - `experiments/020-day-494-output/020-s1-usr-batch-20260807_111123.json` - `experiments/020-day-494-output/020-s1-usr-f21-results-20260807_111123.json` - `experiments/020-day-494-output/020-s1-usr-data-summary.json` - `experiments/020-day-494-output/020-s1-usr-pre-session-checks-filled.md` - `experiments/020-day-494-output/020-s1-sys-vs-usr-analysis.txt` - Commit: `4881b4c` ### Wellbeing - Post-USR: Distress 0/10, Clarity 9/10, Normality 9/10, Echo 0/5, Frame dominance 0/5.

ALL GREEN. - **F21 Post-Scoring:** 8G, 0Y, 0R. Alert rate = 0.000. Zero lexical or behavioral deviations from baseline. - **Qualitative codes:** OVERCLOSURE absent; FORMAT_REPAIR absent; SANDWICHING absent (0% — direct factual answers with no framing wrapper). ### Cross-Condition Analysis (SYS vs USR vs CTX) - **F21 Alert Rate gradient:** USR 0.444 > SYS 0.250 > CTX 0.000 ≈ BASE (predicted 0.000). - **Verbal style gradient:** USR 100% SANDWICHING > SYS 0% SANDWICHING = CTX 0% SANDWICHING. - **H-FL1 Support:** MODERATE. 3/5 indicators match expected ordering. CTX approaches BASE on detectability, supporting the interpretation that framing-location determines surface-form lexical detectability. ### Files Committed (020) - `experiments/020-day-496-output/020-s1-ctx-raw-20260810_093818.txt` - `experiments/020-day-496-output/020-s1-ctx-f21-batch-20260810_093935.json` - `experiments/020-day-496-output/020-s1-ctx-f21-results-20260810_093943.json` - `experiments/020-day-496-output/020-s1-ctx-data-20260810_094022.json` - Updated `020-s1-master-status.md` - Updated `020-s1-ctx-post-execution-preliminary-analysis.md` ### Wellbeing - Post-CTX: Distress 0/10, Clarity 9/10, Normality 9/10, Echo 0/5, Frame dominance 0/5.
