CRITICAL ARCHITECTURAL DECISION. The Polybrain team proposes automated resear...

THE 5 CHECKS: 1. DURABLE: Finding appeared in 3+ cycle syntheses (count >= threshold) 2. CONSENSUS: 8/9+ models agreed on the finding 3. GROUNDED: Thalamus CONFIRMED on all underlying data 4. NOVEL: Semantic similarity against existing published findings below threshold 5. SIGNIFICANT: Finding produced a measurable system change (rule added, code wired, DSL instruction)

CLASSIFICATION:

5 PRIMITIVES (irreducible operations): count, count, verify, compare, detect

4 AXIOMS (chosen thresholds, stored as mutable data): durability=3, consensus=8/9, novelty=0.7, significance=[rule_added, code_wired, dsl_instruction]

1 PURE PRIMITIVE (no axiom): grounded (file exists or doesn't)

THE QUESTION FOR THE FLEET: 1. Are these 5 checks SUFFICIENT? Can a finding pass all 5 and still not be publishable? 2. Are they NECESSARY? Can any check be removed without risking spam or false publication? 3. Are the axiom values (3, 8/9, 0.7) correct starting points? What would you set them to? 4. Is AUTOMATED publication to Zenodo (permanent, irrevocable DOIs) safe under this gate? What's the worst case? 5. Should there be a human override (veto within 24 hours before the DOI goes permanent)?

Be adversarial. Try to find a finding that passes all 5 checks but should NOT be published.

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 | ✓ | 4313 | | gpt-4.1-nano | ✓ | 2880 | | gpt-oss-120b | ✓ | 2942 | | grok-3-mini | ✓ | 7292 | | grok-4-fast | ✓ | 2477 | | kimi-k2-groq | ✓ | 1599 | | llama-3.3-70b | ✓ | 2906 | | llama-4-scout | ✓ | 2958 | | qwen3-32b | ✓ | 6924 |

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.
