CONTEXT: You reviewed Polybrain v1.0 and said NOT READY. Three vulnerabilities: eval in actions, side effects before verification, regex bypass. You prescribed: DSL, runtime limits

NOW: Apply Bateson's learning levels to the problem. Not as metaphor. As architecture.

Level 0: What is the REFLEX that should be hardcoded? (The thing that fires without thinking, like process.exit(1)) Level I: What LEARNS from each rule execution? (What changes based on experience?) Level II: What changes HOW Level I learns? (What modifies the learning rule itself?) Level III: What describes the system to itself and verifies the description? (Self-reference)

Use these levels to design the DSL. The DSL should BE the Bateson levels. Level 0 verbs are reflexes (always allowed, no verification needed). Level I verbs learn from results. Level II verbs modify Level I behavior. Level III verbs describe and verify the system.

Design this. Be specific. Output the DSL spec.

Verification verdict

Of 9 models in the ensemble, 9 responded successfully and 0 failed.

Per-model responses

The full text of each model's response is available in the source ledger. The summary below records each model's success or failure and the first 280 characters of its response.

| Model | Status | Response chars | | --- | :---: | ---: | | gpt-4.1-mini | ✓ | 6685 | | gpt-4.1-nano | ✓ | 3077 | | gpt-oss-120b | ✓ | 4279 | | grok-3-mini | ✓ | 6826 | | grok-4-fast | ✓ | 3916 | | kimi-k2-groq | ✓ | 1622 | | llama-3.3-70b | ✓ | 4521 | | llama-4-scout | ✓ | 3560 | | qwen3-32b | ✓ | 5938 |

Pairwise agreement

The pairwise Jaccard agreement between successful responses for this cycle:

_Per-cycle pairwise agreement matrix is computed offline; will be populated in canonical page v2._

Divergence score

This cycle's divergence score is **TBD** on a 0 to 1 scale, where 0 means all responses are token-identical and 1 means no two responses share any tokens. The dataset-wide median divergence is 0.5 for context.

Provenance and integrity

This page was generated by the PolybrainBench daemon at version 0.1.0 from cycle cycle_108_cyc_108_354a1601. The full provenance chain (per-response SHA-256 stamps, cross-cycle prev-hash linking, Thalamus grounding verification) is recorded in the source cycle directory at `~/polybrain/cycles/108/provenance.json` and mirrored in the published dataset. The page is regenerated on every harvest pass; the URL is permanent and the content is immutable for any given paper version.
