| # CatQualia recursion process corpus — self-improvement loop traces |
|
|
| **4,631 rows** · 5,750,770 bytes · JSON Lines, one object per line. |
|
|
| ## What this is |
|
|
| Traces of a self-improvement loop in operation: what the loop proposed, what the measurement returned, and what was kept. Directly relevant to the self-falsification subject matter of the wider corpus. |
|
|
| ## Schema |
|
|
| Fields of the first record, read from the file in this repository: |
|
|
| | Field | Type | |
| |---|---| |
| | `cycle_id` | `str` | |
| | `machine` | `str` | |
| | `model` | `str` | |
| | `proposal_type` | `str` | |
| | `proposal_text` | `str` | |
| | `execution_attempted` | `bool` | |
| | `outcome` | `NoneType` | |
| | `outcome_filled` | `bool` | |
| | `design_to_running_before` | `float` | |
| | `design_to_running_after` | `float` | |
| | `delta_attributable_to_proposer` | `bool` | |
| | `attribution_note` | `str` | |
| | `basin_collapse_detected` | `bool` | |
| | `basin_collapse_evidence` | `str` | |
| | `diversity_floor_triggered` | `bool` | |
| | `diversity_floor_result` | `str` | |
|
|
| ## Measured |
|
|
| | Property | Value | |
| |---|---| |
| | Rows | 4,631 | |
| | Bytes | 5,750,770 | |
| | Distinct top-level fields | 23 | |
|
|
| The row count was measured with `wc -l` against the file staged here, not against a |
| source copy. |
|
|
| ## How it was produced |
|
|
| By the author's own generation pipeline: candidate rows are produced from seed material, |
| graded, and the survivors assembled. Several fields (notably `grade` and any |
| `alien_or_typical` judgement) are the pipeline's own assessment, not an external label. |
| The method is described at <https://catqualia.com/forest>. |
|
|
| ## Known limitations |
|
|
| - **Synthetic and self-graded.** `grade`, `alien_or_typical` and `failure_class` come from |
| the generating pipeline. They are not human-annotated ground truth. |
| - **Generated at scale.** Volume is not evidence of quality; a large fraction of rows may be |
| unremarkable. |
| - **English only.** |
| - **Provenance of individual rows varies** and is recorded per row where the pipeline |
| captured it. |
| - **Not peer-reviewed, not independently evaluated.** |
