POLYBRAIN 9BOARD — SESSION 002: EXPERIMENT APPROVAL

You advised in Session 001. We implemented ALL of your feedback:

CHANGES MADE: 1. Config C added (20 cycles, random padding matching Config B prompt length) — controls for prompt length confound [Khan, Bezos] 2. New metrics: novel_claims, vulnerability_found, references_prior, contradicts_prior — measures quantum-leap reasoning, not just consensus [Rabois] 3. Blinding improved: config-identifying language stripped from outputs before evaluation [Khan] 4. SHA-256 hash chain: every synthesis gets an immutable hash logged to hashes.json [Khan] 5. Three-way Mann-Whitney U: A vs B, B vs C, A vs C — if A vs C is significant, verdict is CONFOUNDED [Griffin] 6. CONFOUNDED verdict logic: if prompt length alone explains the result, faith claim is rejected [Khan]

EXPERIMENT DESIGN (final):

  • Config A (Cautious): 50 independent cycles, fresh each time, no memory
  • Config B (Faithful): 5 chains of 10 cycles, commits findings forward unverified
  • Config C (Control): 20 independent cycles, random padding matching B's prompt length
  • Total: 120 cycles, ~, ~10 minutes parallelized
  • Metrics: consensus_count, divergence_count, unique_count, novel_claims, vulnerability_found, references_prior, contradicts_prior
  • Blinded evaluation directory with randomized filenames
  • Immutable SHA-256 hash chain

    • YOUR TASK: From your Session 001 persona, vote GO or NO-GO on this experiment design. If NO-GO, state exactly what must change. Under 100 words.

    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 | ✓ | 447 | | gpt-4.1-nano | ✓ | 2916 | | gpt-oss-120b | ✓ | 642 | | grok-3-mini | ✓ | 4970 | | grok-4-fast | ✓ | 254 | | kimi-k2-groq | ✓ | 218 | | llama-3.3-70b | ✓ | 286 | | llama-4-scout | ✓ | 586 | | qwen3-32b | ✓ | 2008 |

    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.

    This page was generated by the PolybrainBench daemon at version 0.1.0 from cycle cycle_059_cyc_59_7e969819. 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/059/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.
