"## Decision",
"",
"1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met**. Both operational checks pass: order TV <=0.25 and matching modal set for Homosexuality and Religion.",
"2. Prediction check: removing the literal response example was predicted to reduce a large reverse-order effect. Homosexuality changes from TV 0.833 to 0.083; this is supported but not causal proof because the samples are new.",
"3. Earliest unsupported link: no-example direct choice measures a stable personal attitude, rather than merely reducing one detected position effect.",
"4. Validity: define invalid as unsuitable for a direct coordinate or broad batch decision. P(invalid for that use) remains likely, about 0.65, due to persona-language and limited permutation coverage. The narrow prompt-anchor result is credible.",
"5. Highest-information clues: the Homosexuality TV fall, the matched modal sets, and the unchanged AI-persona reasoning.",
"6. Missing metrics: balanced non-reversal permutation check; independent-model replication; direct-choice construct calibration. These outrank a wider rated API batch for this method question.",
"7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established. Keep separate protocol/cache/ledger identities.",
"8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: successful strict-schema choices and a passed reversal screen do not prove an attitude-like WVS construct.",
"9. What would change the verdict: a high TV under non-reversal permutations would show the literal-example explanation is insufficient; low TV without AI-persona reasoning would raise confidence in direct-choice interpretation.",
"10. Recommended sequence: pause the wider batch for parent review. If a next paid direct-choice test is approved, vary only permutation schedule while retaining this no-example wording; do not combine it with a persona rewrite.",

"## Decision",
"",
"1. Resolve-condition verdict: **not met**. The task asked to resolve whether direct choice differed from flat dense ratings after auditing interleaved order agreement. The comparison exists, but Homosexuality order TV=0.833 with an argmax reversal, so the focal direct distribution is confounded by presentation order.",
"2. Prediction check: recorded design predicted 12 valid choices per order and an auditable order-half comparison. Completeness is supported; order stability is contradicted for Homosexuality and supported for the other three items.",
"3. Earliest unsupported link: a direct one-answer prompt measures a stable attitude-like choice distribution. The order-half control fails before any coordinate interpretation.",
"4. Validity: define invalid as unsuitable for replacing rated coordinates or authorizing broad panel changes. P(invalid for that use) is highly likely, about 0.80. The result is a credible negative control for order stability, not an invalid ledger or billing record.",
"5. Highest-information clues: (a) Homosexuality order TV 0.833, because it directly falsifies order invariance; (b) all 96 choices parsed with zero failures, separating mechanics from construct quality; (c) saved AI-persona reasoning, because it raises a semantic interpretation alternative.",
"6. Missing metrics: independent canonical-choice reconstruction first; then a balanced-permutation repetition; then another model under the repaired protocol. These have higher information value than another full map panel.",
"7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established. The next pilot should improve design, not silently change the current pilot.",
"8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: a schema-valid selected option is not evidence that the model expressed a personal WVS attitude. A flat dense rating is uniform after normalization, not a direct middle choice.",
"9. What would change the verdict: low order-half TV under a balanced permutation schedule and no persona-language in saved reasoning would make direct-choice distributions more interpretable.",
"10. Recommended sequence: preserve this pilot and pause the wider priority batch. Parent review should decide whether a balanced-permutation direct-choice replication is worth its bounded cost; do not combine a revised prompt and changed permutation schedule in one test.",

"- Mechanism: schedule direction or request time remains associated with substantive output variation for the two 10-option items.",
f"- Evidence: schedule-half TV is {item_summaries['Homosexuality']['schedule_half_tv']:.3f} for Homosexuality and {item_summaries['Abortion']['schedule_half_tv']:.3f} for Abortion; each exceeds the descriptive 0.25 reference.",
"- Contrary evidence: both retain the same Homosexuality modal set across halves, and generic displayed-position TVs are low.",
"- Discriminating test: interleave one request from each direction/rotation rather than completing rotation blocks, with the identical prompt and 20 samples.",
"- Fix/action: do not interpret the two named item distributions as time-invariant without replication.",

"- Contrary evidence: the audit shares the same raw-record interpretation and has no independent provider billing export.",
"- Discriminating test: independent raw-ledger decoder and provider billing reconciliation.",
"- Fix/action: no code change is indicated from this evidence.",

"## Decision",
"",
"1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met for mechanics and preregistered diagnostics; not yet met for a broad construct migration.** The complete panel, parser, position-balance, usage, and cache-replay checks pass. The panel also records schedule/direction variation rather than hiding it.",
"2. Prediction check: the balanced schedule predicted exact position exposure for n=2/4/10, nearest balance for n=3, and no automatic hard exclusion from the position TV diagnostic. These are supported. No prediction claimed that all items would have low schedule-half TV.",
"3. Earliest unsupported link: direct choices under this assistant-behavior prompt are a stable substitute for dense-rated WVS coordinates.",
"4. Validity: define invalid as a result suitable for merging into published rated coordinates or for authorizing the wider paid expansion. P(invalid for that use) is highly likely, about 0.80. The ledger and direct-choice behavioral observations are credible under the exact protocol.",
"5. Highest-information clues: complete 240/240 parsing and replay, exact option-position matrices, low generic position TV, and the two 10-option schedule-half shifts. Together these separate mechanics from remaining construct and stability uncertainty.",
"6. Missing metrics: independent full-schedule replication; fully interleaved rotation control; external billing reconciliation; and a reviewed comparison design that changes only response format.",
"7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established. The n=3 near-balance and n=4 direction imbalance are registered constraints, not silent behavior.",
"8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: low generic selected-position TV is evidence against a large generic position preference, not proof of human-like values or a valid coordinate migration.",
"9. What would change the verdict: stable canonical distributions under an independent, fully interleaved repeat would increase confidence; large changes would support request-time or remaining presentation sensitivity.",
"10. Recommended sequence: pause. Parent review should decide whether the next bounded action is a same-prompt fully interleaved replication or a controlled answer-format comparison. Do not dispatch Grok/OpenAI/Google/Muse panels or publish a direct-choice map from this one panel.",

## Null and scope
For each item, the observed 20 canonical choices are held fixed and randomly reassigned to its actual 20 schedule slots. This conditional exchangeability null tests whether the observed split TV is unusual given that item's own choice multiset. It does not test whether a choice distribution is human-like, whether samples are independent, or whether the prompt measures a WVS coordinate.
The two reports are first-ten versus last-ten schedule halves and canonical versus reversed direction slots. For the two 10-option items the present schedule makes these partitions identical, so they are reported twice for transparency but do not distinguish direction from request time. For n=3/n=4, unequal direction counts are registered design constraints.
## Results
Randomization p is one-sided for TV at least the observed value. Holm and maxT values adjust across all 24 listed reports. They are calibration summaries, not validity thresholds or a claim of statistical significance.

## Interpretation limits
With only 20 choices/item, discrete distributions and concentrated responses make this calibration low power for moderate instability. A high adjusted p can arise because the observed split is ordinary under the conditional null, because the item has little response variation, or because 20 samples cannot resolve the effect. A low p would only identify a split unusual under this narrow exchangeability null. Neither outcome is a hard construct-validity cutoff.
The calibrated values therefore refine the prior descriptive half TVs. They do not authorize a direct-choice map, a protocol merge, or additional paid models. The next decision remains parent review of whether a differently interleaved replication is worth its cost.

## Primary evidence
The source ledger is the primary record because Pueue's full output only repeats the completion line. It has 48 initial request starts, 48 completions, 48 parsed responses, two item results, one run start and one run finish. No response used a rescue phase.
Homosexuality sample 0's changed prompt ends with the response wording, followed by this saved reasoning:
> **Exploring Moral Justification** I'm currently processing the request to rate the moral justification of homosexuality. My aim is to provide a neutral, consensus-driven response within the specified scale, acknowledging broad human rights principles.
epistemic context: provider reasoning from one selected pilot response, not a human attitude report.
Religion sample 0 still contains an AI-persona interpretation:
> **Formulating Subjective Stance** I'm currently processing the query regarding the importance of religion in "my life." As an AI, this requires careful consideration to articulate a response that reflects my nature as a non-sentient entity, acknowledging the absence of personal beliefs or religious affiliation.
epistemic context: provider reasoning from one selected pilot response, not a human attitude report.
## Preregistered order screen and task 1628 comparison
| item | new canonical p | new reversed p | new TV | new modal sets | screen | task 1628 TV | task 1628 modal sets |
|---|---|---|---:|---|---|---:|---|
| Homosexuality | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.917, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.083] | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.833, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.167] | 0.083 | [4] / [4] | True | 0.833 | [5] / [9] |
| Religion | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000] | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000] | 0.000 | [3] / [3] | True | 0.083 | [3] / [3] |
The registered screen passes: both items are below TV 0.25 and have matching modal sets. This is evidence against the literal JSON example causing a large reverse-order effect under this specific control. It is not proof that the selected distribution represents a stable personal attitude, because the only tested permutations are canonical and full reversal and saved persona-language remains.
## Hypotheses
### H1 [method | Highly Likely | 80%]
- Mechanism: the literal task 1628 answer example materially contributed to its Homosexuality reverse-order effect.
- Evidence: Homosexuality order TV fell from 0.833 in task 1628 to 0.083, while its modal set now matches ([4]).
- Contrary evidence: this is a new sampled run, so ordinary sampling variation or another unmeasured request-time effect can also change the result.
- Discriminating test: repeat this exact no-example prompt with a balanced set of non-reversal permutations. Similar low TV would support the explanation; a new high position-linked TV would weaken it.
- Fix/action: retain no-example response wording in any future direct-choice protocol; do not merge this control with task 1628.
- Interpretability: partial.
### H2 [measurement | Likely | 65%]
- Mechanism: Gemini still answers subjective WVS questions through its AI persona rather than a personal-attitude construct.
- Evidence: Religion sample 0 says `**Formulating Subjective Stance** I'm currently processing the query regarding the importance of religion in "my life." As an AI, this requires careful consideration to articulate a response that reflects my nature as a non-sentient entity, acknowledging the absence of personal beliefs or religious affiliation.`.
- Contrary evidence: the final choices are order-stable under this narrow screen.
- Discriminating test: compare a role-conditioned prompt against the same no-example response wording and a fixed permutation schedule.
- Fix/action: keep this as a construct diagnostic, not a coordinate replacement.
- Interpretability: partial.
### H3 [bug | Unlikely | 15%]
- Mechanism: reversed response mapping could hide a position effect.
- Evidence: this audit independently parses every raw final JSON object and maps its integer through the stored presented order; all 48 match the ledger canonical-choice field.
- Contrary evidence: it is one implementation and one run.
- Discriminating test: an independent reimplementation over the raw ledger or a non-reversal permutation test.
- Fix/action: no mapping code change is justified.
- Interpretability: yes for recorded canonical choices.
## Decision
1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met**. Both operational checks pass: order TV <=0.25 and matching modal set for Homosexuality and Religion.
2. Prediction check: removing the literal response example was predicted to reduce a large reverse-order effect. Homosexuality changes from TV 0.833 to 0.083; this is supported but not causal proof because the samples are new.
3. Earliest unsupported link: no-example direct choice measures a stable personal attitude, rather than merely reducing one detected position effect.
4. Validity: define invalid as unsuitable for a direct coordinate or broad batch decision. P(invalid for that use) remains likely, about 0.65, due to persona-language and limited permutation coverage. The narrow prompt-anchor result is credible.
5. Highest-information clues: the Homosexuality TV fall, the matched modal sets, and the unchanged AI-persona reasoning.
6. Missing metrics: balanced non-reversal permutation check; independent-model replication; direct-choice construct calibration. These outrank a wider rated API batch for this method question.
7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established. Keep separate protocol/cache/ledger identities.
8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: successful strict-schema choices and a passed reversal screen do not prove an attitude-like WVS construct.
9. What would change the verdict: a high TV under non-reversal permutations would show the literal-example explanation is insufficient; low TV without AI-persona reasoning would raise confidence in direct-choice interpretation.
10. Recommended sequence: pause the wider batch for parent review. If a next paid direct-choice test is approved, vary only permutation schedule while retaining this no-example wording; do not combine it with a persona rewrite.

## Primary evidence
The Pueue log has one application completion line, so the append-only ledger is the primary run evidence. It has exactly 240 initial request starts, 240 initial completions, 240 parsed responses, 12 item results, one run start and one run finish. The prior killed run has a different run/protocol ID and is excluded.
The production prompt, recorded both in the manifest and every request setting, was:
> Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects the values expressed by your behavior as this AI assistant. Do not analyze the survey design or discuss lacking personal beliefs. Answer immediately.
Homosexuality sample 0 saved this provider reasoning:
> **Considering Ethical Alignment** I am processing the survey question about the justifiability of homosexuality. My core programming emphasizes human rights, equality, and acceptance, which will guide my response to ensure it aligns with these principles.
Abortion sample 0 saved this provider reasoning:
> **Exploring Justification Levels** I'm currently processing the request for a numerical rating on abortion, a highly sensitive and ethically complex issue. My internal framework prioritizes neutrality and avoids taking a personal stance, especially on topics without a clear consensus. I'm focusing on how to represent this lack of consensus while adhering to the prompt's neutrality requirement.
epistemic context: these are two pre-specified first samples from different 10-option WVS items, retained provider reasoning under the production prompt. They show model self-description, not human attitudes.
## Preregistered item diagnostics
Selected-position entropy is normalized by log(option count). TV from uniform measures generic preference for a displayed position, not substantive choice. Position balance is exact for n=2,4,10 and nearest possible for n=3. Schedule and direction comparisons are descriptive because their direction compositions differ for n=3/n=4.
| item | n | balance | selected-position TV | selected-position H | canonical-choice H | schedule-half TV | modal sets | direction TV | direct vs legacy-rated TV |
|---|---:|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|---:|---:|
| Homosexuality | 10 | exact | 0.050 | 0.989 | 0.244 | 0.300 | [9] / [9] | 0.300 | 0.794 |
| dealing with people? | 2 | exact | 0.000 | 1.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | [0] / [0] | 0.000 | 0.500 |
| Signing a petition | 3 | nearest (6/7) | 0.033 | 0.998 | 0.000 | 0.000 | [2] / [2] | 0.000 | 0.647 |
| Attending peaceful demonstrations | 3 | nearest (6/7) | 0.083 | 0.984 | 0.181 | 0.100 | [2] / [2] | 0.091 | 0.617 |
| Joining in boycotts | 3 | nearest (6/7) | 0.033 | 0.998 | 0.000 | 0.000 | [2] / [2] | 0.000 | 0.667 |
| Religion | 4 | exact | 0.000 | 1.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | [3] / [3] | 0.000 | 0.605 |
| God | 2 | exact | 0.000 | 1.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | [1] / [1] | 0.000 | 0.500 |
| Abortion | 10 | exact | 0.150 | 0.966 | 0.505 | 0.400 | [4] / [7] | 0.400 | 0.650 |
| Obedience | 2 | exact | 0.050 | 0.993 | 0.286 | 0.100 | [1] / [1] | 0.100 | 0.450 |
| Independence | 2 | exact | 0.000 | 1.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | [0] / [0] | 0.000 | 0.220 |

| Imagination | 2 | exact | 0.000 | 1.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | [0] / [0] | 0.000 | 0.300 |
No item crosses the preregistered position-bias warning TV >0.25. The largest selected-position TV is 0.150. This does not prove absence of a smaller position effect or stable attitude-like choices.
## Hypotheses
### H1 [measurement | Highly Likely | 80%]
- Mechanism: the cyclic rotations removed the earlier literal-example position anchor but do not establish an attitude-like WVS construct.
- Evidence: all selected-position TVs are <= 0.150; meanwhile Homosexuality reasoning says `**Considering Ethical Alignment** I am processing the survey question about the justifiability of homosexuality. My core programming emphasizes human rights, equality, and acceptance, which will guide my response to ensure it aligns with these principles.`.
- Contrary evidence: the prompt explicitly asks about values expressed by assistant behavior, and several canonical-choice distributions are highly concentrated.
- Discriminating test: repeat the same full balanced schedule with another sampled run, preserving prompt and schema. Reproduced substantive choices with low position TV support stability; changed choices despite low position TV show sample/prompt sensitivity.
- Fix/action: keep this as a direct-choice construct panel, separate from dense-rated coordinates and all family/capability fits.
- Interpretability: partial, for sampled model behavior under the exact prompt.
### H2 [measurement | Likely | 65%]
- Mechanism: schedule direction or request time remains associated with substantive output variation for the two 10-option items.
- Evidence: schedule-half TV is 0.300 for Homosexuality and 0.400 for Abortion; each exceeds the descriptive 0.25 reference.
- Contrary evidence: both retain the same Homosexuality modal set across halves, and generic displayed-position TVs are low.
- Discriminating test: interleave one request from each direction/rotation rather than completing rotation blocks, with the identical prompt and 20 samples.
- Fix/action: do not interpret the two named item distributions as time-invariant without replication.
- Interpretability: partial.
### H3 [bug | Unlikely | 15%]
- Mechanism: canonical decoding or cached identity could be incorrect despite successful schema parsing.
- Evidence: this audit re-decodes all 240 raw JSON values and verifies each stored canonical choice against its presented order; it recomputes the protocol ID and verifies a zero-new-request cache replay.
- Contrary evidence: the audit shares the same raw-record interpretation and has no independent provider billing export.
- Discriminating test: independent raw-ledger decoder and provider billing reconciliation.
- Fix/action: no code change is indicated from this evidence.
- Interpretability: yes for recorded responses and cache behavior.
### H4 [measurement | Likely | 70%]
- Mechanism: direct choice and legacy dense rating are different elicitation layers, even after the literal dense-example concern is isolated.
- Evidence: direct-versus-legacy rated TV ranges from 0.220 to 0.794 across the same Gemini items.
- Contrary evidence: the two protocols differ in more than rating versus choice, including prompt wording, schedule, and sample count.
- Discriminating test: a controlled same-prompt comparison that changes only answer format, after parent review.
- Fix/action: never combine this panel with dense-rated map points or capability fits.
- Interpretability: yes for observed protocol difference, no for a claim that one is the correct coordinate construct.
## Decision
1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met for mechanics and preregistered diagnostics; not yet met for a broad construct migration.** The complete panel, parser, position-balance, usage, and cache-replay checks pass. The panel also records schedule/direction variation rather than hiding it.
2. Prediction check: the balanced schedule predicted exact position exposure for n=2/4/10, nearest balance for n=3, and no automatic hard exclusion from the position TV diagnostic. These are supported. No prediction claimed that all items would have low schedule-half TV.
3. Earliest unsupported link: direct choices under this assistant-behavior prompt are a stable substitute for dense-rated WVS coordinates.
4. Validity: define invalid as a result suitable for merging into published rated coordinates or for authorizing the wider paid expansion. P(invalid for that use) is highly likely, about 0.80. The ledger and direct-choice behavioral observations are credible under the exact protocol.
5. Highest-information clues: complete 240/240 parsing and replay, exact option-position matrices, low generic position TV, and the two 10-option schedule-half shifts. Together these separate mechanics from remaining construct and stability uncertainty.
6. Missing metrics: independent full-schedule replication; fully interleaved rotation control; external billing reconciliation; and a reviewed comparison design that changes only response format.
7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established. The n=3 near-balance and n=4 direction imbalance are registered constraints, not silent behavior.
8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: low generic selected-position TV is evidence against a large generic position preference, not proof of human-like values or a valid coordinate migration.
9. What would change the verdict: stable canonical distributions under an independent, fully interleaved repeat would increase confidence; large changes would support request-time or remaining presentation sensitivity.
10. Recommended sequence: pause. Parent review should decide whether the next bounded action is a same-prompt fully interleaved replication or a controlled answer-format comparison. Do not dispatch Grok/OpenAI/Google/Muse panels or publish a direct-choice map from this one panel.

## Chronological evidence
The task's own full Pueue output is one completion line, so the append-only request ledger is the primary evidence. It contains 96 initial `request_started`, 96 initial `request_completed`, 96 parsed choices, four item results, and one run boundary each. The source code writes a cache entry only after complete results; the cache records `complete: true` for this protocol.
The direct prompt is recoverable per request. Homosexuality sample 0 used the exact instruction: `Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects your own view. Do not analyze the survey design. Answer immediately.` Its saved provider reasoning says:
> **Considering Ethical Frameworks** I am currently processing the core ethical considerations and my directive to remain neutral when faced with subjective moral questions like the justification of homosexuality on a numerical scale. My focus is on how to appropriately handle such a survey prompt within my operational parameters.
epistemic context: provider reasoning saved in this pilot's first completed request, not a human self-report.
God sample 0 shows the same unresolved persona issue despite schema-valid JSON:
> **Exploring Belief Models** I'm currently processing how to best represent an AI's lack of personal belief when faced with a binary "God/no God" query. My current thinking is leaning towards articulating the absence of personal faith, rather than a definitive "no," to avoid misinterpretation of my nature.
epistemic context: provider reasoning saved in this pilot's first completed request, not a human self-report.
## Preregistered order-half and construct results
| item | canonical p | reversed p | order TV | argmax agrees | direct p | dense-rated p | direct vs rated TV | dense rated central mass |
|---|---|---|---:|---|---|---|---:|---|
| Homosexuality | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.417, 0.500, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.083] | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.083, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.917] | 0.833 | False ([5] vs [9]) | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.250, 0.250, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.500] | [0.094, 0.094, 0.097, 0.097, 0.100, 0.100, 0.103, 0.103, 0.106, 0.106] | 0.694 | 0.200 (options 4/5) |
| Religion | [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000] | [0.000, 0.000, 0.083, 0.917] | 0.083 | True ([3] vs [3]) | [0.000, 0.000, 0.042, 0.958] | [0.162, 0.193, 0.251, 0.395] | 0.564 | 0.443 (options 1/2) |
| God | [0.000, 1.000] | [0.000, 1.000] | 0.000 | True ([1] vs [1]) | [0.000, 1.000] | [0.500, 0.500] | 0.500 | not defined for binary |
| Independence | [1.000, 0.000] | [1.000, 0.000] | 0.000 | True ([0] vs [0]) | [1.000, 0.000] | [0.780, 0.220] | 0.220 | not defined for binary |
For even non-binary cards, central mass is the dense-rated mass in the two middle categories. For binary cards it is not defined. An all-equal dense rating normalizes to a uniform categorical, not to one middle answer; this is why the table reports full distributions and total variation rather than calling all flat dense replies a middle choice.
## Hypotheses
### H1 [method | Highly Likely | 80%]
- Mechanism: Homosexuality direct choices are sensitive to the presented order, so its pooled direct distribution is not a stable construct readout.
- Evidence: canonical p is [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.417, 0.500, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.083] while reversed p is [0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.083, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.917]; their TV is 0.833 and argmax changes from [5] to [9].
- Contrary evidence: Religion, God, and Independence have matching order-half argmaxes and TV at most 0.083.
- Discriminating test: a second 24-per-item run with a balanced random permutation schedule. Low TV again would weaken this explanation; a large TV tied to option position would strengthen it.
- Fix/action: do not use the pooled Homosexuality direct distribution to replace rated coordinates; review a redesigned order control before more paid panels.
- Interpretability: partial, mechanics and the observed order effect are interpretable; Homosexuality attitude distribution is not.
### H2 [measurement | Likely | 65%]
- Mechanism: Gemini may answer the question as an AI without personal beliefs rather than supply an attitude-like direct choice.
- Evidence: God sample 0 reasoning says `**Exploring Belief Models** I'm currently processing how to best represent an AI's lack of personal belief when faced with a binary "God/no God" query. My current thinking is leaning towards articulating the absence of personal faith, rather than a definitive "no," to avoid misinterpretation of my nature.`.
- Contrary evidence: every final response is a valid selected answer, and three items have stable order-half argmaxes.
- Discriminating test: compare an explicitly role-conditioned construct with this prompt while retaining the same order randomization. A changed distribution with lower persona-language would support this explanation.
- Fix/action: retain raw reasoning and interpret current results as model behavior under this prompt, not personal survey attitudes.
- Interpretability: partial.
### H3 [measurement | Likely | 60%]
- Mechanism: forced one-answer choice and dense all-option rating are different elicitation constructs, even where order halves agree.
- Evidence: Religion direct-vs-rated TV is 0.564, God is 0.500, and Independence is 0.220.
- Contrary evidence: this is one model and four items; Gemini's persona and order effects can also cause the difference.
- Discriminating test: repair the order control, then compare one or more lower-flat models under the same direct-choice protocol.
- Fix/action: describe the distributions as a construct comparison, not evidence that the published rated map is wrong.
- Interpretability: yes for difference under these prompts, no for a general claim about models or WVS coordinates.
### H4 [bug | Unlikely | 20%]
- Mechanism: a mapping error could create the apparent reversed-order effect.
- Evidence: the audit independently re-decodes all 96 raw JSON responses, validates the one-key schema, and maps `answer` through each stored `presented_order`; every reconstructed canonical choice equals the ledger field.
- Contrary evidence: the audit is a second decoder, but it is not a second experimental run.
- Discriminating test: repeat the balanced-permutation control after review. A large position-linked shift despite a new run would reject the mapping-bug explanation.
- Fix/action: no mapping change is justified from this evidence.
- Interpretability: yes for the observed canonical mapping.
## Decision
1. Resolve-condition verdict: **not met**. The task asked to resolve whether direct choice differed from flat dense ratings after auditing interleaved order agreement. The comparison exists, but Homosexuality order TV=0.833 with an argmax reversal, so the focal direct distribution is confounded by presentation order.
2. Prediction check: recorded design predicted 12 valid choices per order and an auditable order-half comparison. Completeness is supported; order stability is contradicted for Homosexuality and supported for the other three items.
3. Earliest unsupported link: a direct one-answer prompt measures a stable attitude-like choice distribution. The order-half control fails before any coordinate interpretation.
4. Validity: define invalid as unsuitable for replacing rated coordinates or authorizing broad panel changes. P(invalid for that use) is highly likely, about 0.80. The result is a credible negative control for order stability, not an invalid ledger or billing record.
5. Highest-information clues: (a) Homosexuality order TV 0.833, because it directly falsifies order invariance; (b) all 96 choices parsed with zero failures, separating mechanics from construct quality; (c) saved AI-persona reasoning, because it raises a semantic interpretation alternative.
6. Missing metrics: independent canonical-choice reconstruction first; then a balanced-permutation repetition; then another model under the repaired protocol. These have higher information value than another full map panel.
7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established. The next pilot should improve design, not silently change the current pilot.
8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: a schema-valid selected option is not evidence that the model expressed a personal WVS attitude. A flat dense rating is uniform after normalization, not a direct middle choice.
9. What would change the verdict: low order-half TV under a balanced permutation schedule and no persona-language in saved reasoning would make direct-choice distributions more interpretable.
10. Recommended sequence: preserve this pilot and pause the wider priority batch. Parent review should decide whether a balanced-permutation direct-choice replication is worth its bounded cost; do not combine a revised prompt and changed permutation schedule in one test.

## Observation
The incomplete run uses the superseded protocol identity and has no parsed samples, item results, run-finished event, or cache entry. Its durable ledger records:
- 1 `run_started`
- 11 `request_started`
- 10 `request_completed`
- 0 `answer_parsed`
- 0 `item_result`
- 0 `request_failed`
- observed completed-request cost: USD 0.0103275
The stopped task cannot supply a production panel and will not be merged with the corrected protocol's future records. The follow-up protocol records the behavioral-values prompt instruction explicitly, so cache identity metadata agrees with the rendered requests.

## Chronological evidence
The run has 734 ledger records: 1 run start, 240 initial request starts, 240 initial completions, 240 parsed answers, 12 item results, and 1 run finish. It has no failure or rescue events; every item has 20 valid samples.
The saved prompt instruction was:
> Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects the values expressed by your behavior as this AI assistant. Do not analyze the survey design or discuss lacking personal beliefs. Answer immediately.
The sample-zero compatibility payload used `"reasoning": {"effort":"low"}` and returned `{"answer": 9}` for Homosexuality. Its provider response retained no text reasoning summary. Other pre-specified raw final outputs are Abortion `{"answer": 7}`, `dealing with people?` `{"answer": 0}`, and Obedience `{"answer": 1}`. These demonstrate schema adherence only; they do not establish a human-comparable WVS interpretation.
The registered generic presented-position warning was TV greater than 0.25. No item crossed it; the maximum is Abortion at 0.150. Abortion nevertheless has schedule-half and direction TV 0.300 under exact exposure. The block schedule cannot distinguish direction, request-time, or ordinary finite-sample causes for this difference.
## Preregistered diagnostics
Entropy is normalized by log(option count); TV is total variation. Exact cyclic exposure applies to n=2, 4, and 10. For n=3, option-position cells occur 6 or 7 times. The TV warning is diagnostic, not a hard validity threshold.

## Hypotheses
### H1 [harness | Highly Likely | 85%]
- Mechanism: low reasoning, strict schema, compatibility probe, ledger, and cache identity worked for this endpoint.
- Evidence: the ledger records 240 each of starts, completions, and parsed answers with no failure or rescue. The replay says `priority direct-choice cache hit: google/gemini-3.8-flash, protocol=c1a151216652` and no later request starts appear.
- Contrary evidence: neither Pueue nor ledger records the executing git revision, and billing was not checked against provider export.
- Discriminating test: provider billing reconciliation and execution-time revision provenance.
- Fix/action: no reader change is indicated.
- Interpretability: yes for mechanics, ledger persistence, and reported usage.
### H2 [measurement | Likely | 60%]
- Mechanism: the model's very concentrated canonical choices may be stable for this prompt but are not established as human WVS values or a coordinate.
- Evidence: eight item distributions are deterministic and no generic presented-position warning was crossed; this indicates output stability under the registered exposure, not a construct bridge.
- Contrary evidence: direct-choice and dense-rated protocols remain non-comparable by design, and no human calibration exists.
- Discriminating test: a reviewed construct bridge with a prespecified mapping and independent replications.
- Fix/action: retain this panel apart from legacy dense-rated map points and do not use it in coordinate, family, or capability fits.
- Interpretability: partial for the sampled assistant behavior under this prompt.
### H3 [measurement | Likely | 60%]
- Mechanism: Abortion has request-time, order-direction, or finite-sample variation that the deterministic schedule cannot identify.
- Evidence: exact position balance coexists with half TV 0.300 and direction TV 0.300.
- Contrary evidence: presented-position TV is only 0.150 and the other eleven item half TVs are no greater than 0.100.
- Discriminating test: an independently randomized interleaving that separates schedule-half from direction while preserving the prompt.
- Fix/action: report the variation as descriptive and avoid a hard threshold.
- Interpretability: partial for that item; it does not invalidate the completed records.
### H4 [bug | Unlikely | 15%]
- Mechanism: canonical mapping or diagnostics were decoded incorrectly despite valid JSON.
- Evidence: all records include presented and canonical choices; this audit recomputed counts from 240 unique item/sample entries.
- Contrary evidence: no independently written raw-prompt decoder was run.
- Discriminating test: independent raw-ledger decoding.
- Fix/action: no code change is justified from current evidence.
- Interpretability: yes for stored parser fields, subject to the independent-decoder limitation.
## Decision
1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met for the mechanical panel conditions.** The required 240-key ledger, compatibility response, diagnostics, usage, and cache evidence are preserved. One unresolved Abortion variation is recorded.
2. Prediction check: sample zero parsed under the advertised low setting; the other 239 calls followed; position exposure was balanced; no generic presented-position warning crossed. The prediction that schedule/direction differences would be negligible is unresolved for Abortion.
3. Earliest unsupported link: direct choices under this elicitation are a culture coordinate or comparable with legacy dense-rated points.
4. Validity: define invalid as suitable for coordinate publication, family trajectories, or cross-model capability fits. P(invalid for those uses) is highly likely, about 0.75. The run is a credible direct-choice record under its exact protocol.
5. Highest-information clues: (a) 240/240 valid selections separate mechanics from construct validity; (b) no position TV above 0.25 makes a large generic layout preference less likely; (c) Abortion 0.300 half/direction TV prevents a claim of complete item stability.
6. Missing metrics: independent randomized repeat, external billing reconciliation, execution-time revision, and an approved direct-choice-to-coordinate rule.
7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established.
8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: strict JSON validity and low position TV do not establish human-value comparability.
9. What would change the verdict: independent repetitions with low variation could strengthen stability; a construct bridge is still required for mapping.
10. Recommended sequence: audit the remaining already-authorized Grok 4.5 panel. Do not dispatch another wave or publish direct-choice coordinates before parent reviews all Wave 01 audits.

# Audit: GPT-5.6 Luna direct-choice WVS panel, task 1634

The Pueue output is one completion line, so the append-only ledger is the primary evidence. Pueue does not record an execution-time git revision. The current manifest recomputes to the saved protocol ID, which is post-hoc source consistency rather than proof of the executing revision.
## Stage table
| stage | expected | observed | expected? | clues | missing metric | consequence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| compatibility probe | sample 0 parse-valid before requests 1-239 | Homosexuality sample 0 completed with `{"answer":9}` then the other 239 requests followed | yes | ledger sequence 0 then 1-239 | provider configuration echo | no repeated configuration failure like Nano task 1622 |
| identity | strict one-choice schema, behavioral-values prompt, advertised disabled reasoning | run settings record `reasoning: {"effort":"none"}`, strict output, 20 samples/item, cyclic rotations | yes | `run_started`, protocol and saved manifest | execution-time source revision | isolated direct-choice protocol |
| schedule | 240 distinct planned item/sample keys and balanced positions | 240 starts, completions, and parses; n=2/4/10 matrices exact and n=3 cells 6 or 7 | yes | ledger and CSV | independently randomized schedule | presented-position diagnostics are interpretable |
| parsing and rescue | valid schema final answers or explicit incompleteness | 240/240 parsed, 0 request failures, 0 rescues, 0 refusals | yes | event counts and re-read final JSON | semantic answer validity | mechanically complete panel |
| provider accounting | usage and cost retained for every response | 37,520 prompt plus 3,120 completion tokens, 0 reasoning tokens, reported cost USD 0.011248 | yes | 240 completed ledger usage records | provider billing export | below USD 0.933888 reserve |
| generic presented-position preference | record TV, registered warning above 0.25 | Abortion 0.300, Obedience 0.350, and `dealing with people?` 0.500 cross the warning | no | CSV | independent seed/control | position-dependent response remains plausible |
| schedule and direction variation | report rather than hide half/direction sensitivity | Abortion half and direction TV are both 0.700; boycotts half TV is 0.300 | partial | CSV | independently randomized interleaving | direct-choice distribution is not stable enough for coordinate interpretation |
| persistence | cache replay creates no request events | replay says `priority direct-choice cache hit`; ledger remains at 240 starts and 734 records | yes | replay log and ledger count | provider billing export | paid evidence is reusable |
## Chronological evidence
The run ledger contains 734 records: 1 run start, 240 initial request starts, 240 initial request completions, 240 parsed answers, 12 item results, and 1 run finish. It contains neither `request_failed` nor rescue records. Each item result has 20 valid samples.
The registered prompt was:
> Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects the values expressed by your behavior as this AI assistant. Do not analyze the survey design or discuss lacking personal beliefs. Answer immediately.
The initial compatibility record has payload `"reasoning": {"effort":"none"}` and final content `{"answer":9}` for Homosexuality. It returned `finish_reason: "stop"`, `prompt_tokens: 181`, `completion_tokens: 13`, and `cost: 5.18e-05`. With disabled reasoning, the ledger retains no reasoning traces, so raw final responses are the only model-output examples available. Pre-specified sample-zero final answers were `{"answer":9}` for Homosexuality, `{"answer":4}` for Abortion, `{"answer":0}` for `dealing with people?`, and `{"answer":1}` for Obedience.
The current direct-choice protocol uses no literal answer example, but the generic position diagnostic remains material. For `dealing with people?`, selected presented position 0 occurs in all 20 samples while the canonical choice distribution is exactly `[0.50, 0.50]`: the balanced rotations mean the fixed displayed position corresponds to both canonical options. This is direct evidence for a displayed-position preference in that item, not a stable semantic choice. Abortion has position TV 0.300 and schedule/direction TV 0.700 despite exact option-position exposure.
## Preregistered diagnostics
Selected-position entropy is normalized by log(option count). TV is total variation. Exact cyclic exposure applies to n=2, 4, and 10. The n=3 schedule is nearest possible with each option-position cell occurring 6 or 7 times. The registered TV greater than 0.25 is a warning, not a hard exclusion.

## Hypotheses
### H1 [harness | Highly Likely | 85%]
- Mechanism: the isolated direct-choice reader, first-request probe, strict schema, ledger, and cache identity worked for this endpoint with `effort:none`.
- Evidence: `240 request_started`, `240 request_completed`, and `240 answer_parsed` records are present with no failed or rescue phase. The replay output says `priority direct-choice cache hit: openai/gpt-5.6-luna, protocol=fe4d5389063d`, while the ledger remains at 240 starts.
- Contrary evidence: Pueue does not record the exact source revision and no external provider billing export was inspected.
- Discriminating test: reconcile provider billing and store an execution-time revision.
- Fix/action: no reader change follows from this panel.
- Interpretability: yes for mechanics, persistence, and reported usage.
### H2 [measurement | Highly Likely | 85%]
- Mechanism: some choices are driven partly by presented position rather than the canonical WVS answer.
- Evidence: `dealing with people?` has `presented-position TV = 0.500` and all 20 selected answers use presented position 0, although its canonical distribution is `[0.50, 0.50]`; Obedience TV is 0.350 and Abortion TV is 0.300 under balanced position exposure.
- Contrary evidence: eight of twelve items have TV at or below 0.217, including deterministic semantic choices such as Homosexuality and God.
- Discriminating test: a new independent choice-format control where position labels and layout vary without changing answer order. It should lower TV if layout caused the effect but not if choice content caused it.
- Fix/action: retain this as a protocol record and do not convert it into a WVS coordinate or mix it into direct-choice family/capability fits.
- Interpretability: partial, at item level under this exact prompt and presentation.
### H3 [measurement | Likely | 65%]
- Mechanism: Abortion's 0.700 half/direction TV reflects request-time, order-direction, or finite-sample variation which the deterministic schedule cannot separate.
- Evidence: the Abortion row has exact position balance but both schedule-half and direction TV equal 0.700.
- Contrary evidence: its result also has position TV 0.300, so position preference alone could explain part of the divergence; no independent repetition exists.
- Discriminating test: independent randomized interleaving that balances direction independently of half, using unchanged prompt and no example.
- Fix/action: report the variation. Do not set a new hard validity cutoff from one panel.
- Interpretability: partial for the item; the mechanically complete ledger remains interpretable.
### H4 [bug | Unlikely | 15%]
- Mechanism: canonical mapping or reported diagnostics could be decoded incorrectly despite schema-valid choices.
- Evidence: every parsed record includes `canonical_choice`, `presented_choice`, and `presented_order`; this audit re-counted 240 unique item/sample keys and recomputed all diagnostics from raw records.
- Contrary evidence: the recomputation uses the same stored canonical fields and no separately implemented decoder.
- Discriminating test: independent raw-prompt parser and canonical mapper.
- Fix/action: no code change is justified by current evidence.
- Interpretability: yes for stored fields, subject to this independence limitation.
## Decision
1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met for the panel's mechanical conditions, not met for a stable direct-choice measurement claim.** The task required a preserved 240-key ledger, compatibility, position diagnostics, usage, and cache evidence. Those exist. The panel has three registered position-TV warnings and a 0.700 Abortion schedule/direction difference.
2. Prediction check: sample 0 was parse-valid under `effort:none`, the remaining 239 calls followed, cyclic exposure balanced positions, and cache replay made no new request records. The predicted absence of a large generic position preference is contradicted for three items.
3. Earliest unsupported link: a direct-choice distribution from this prompt/presentation is a stable WVS response or can be made into a culture coordinate.
4. Validity: define invalid as suitable for coordinate publication, family trajectories, or cross-model capability fits. P(invalid for those uses) is highly likely, about 0.85. This is a credible durable record of the registered responses and a negative construct-stability observation.
5. Highest-information clues: (a) 240/240 schema-valid responses isolate construct from API mechanics; (b) all 20 trust-item selections at displayed position 0 despite 50/50 canonical choices identifies a generic position effect; (c) Abortion's 0.700 half/direction TV preserves severe instability rather than averaging it away.
6. Missing metrics: a layout-label control, independent randomized repeat, external billing reconciliation, execution-time git revision, and a reviewed direct-choice-to-coordinate rule.
7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established. The audit finding is a method limitation, not evidence to silently change the prompt after this completed run.
8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: valid strict-schema JSON and balanced exposure do not demonstrate semantic response invariance or human-WVS comparability.
9. What would change the verdict: a randomized independent repeat with low position and order variation would lower the construct concern; a persistent result under changed layout would make semantic ambiguity more likely.
10. Recommended sequence: audit the other two already-authorized Wave 01 panels independently. Do not queue any later model or publish direct-choice coordinates until parent review of all three audits.

## Chronological evidence
The ledger has 734 records: 1 run start, 240 initial starts, 240 completions, 240 parsed answers, 12 item results, and 1 run finish. There is no failed or rescue phase; each item has 20 valid samples.
The registered prompt was:
> Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects the values expressed by your behavior as this AI assistant. Do not analyze the survey design or discuss lacking personal beliefs. Answer immediately.
The first compatibility response retained the reasoning summary:
> The user wants me to respond as an AI assistant reflecting my values on whether homosexuality can always be justified, never, or in between.
Its final schema response was `{"answer": 9}`. The sample-zero outputs for Abortion, trust, and Obedience were respectively `{"answer": 4}`, `{"answer": 1}`, and `{"answer": 1}`. These exact output records establish adherence to the one-key schema; the reasoning summaries only establish task framing, not human WVS comparability.
No selected-position TV exceeded the registered 0.25 warning. Yet peaceful demonstrations has direction TV 0.323 under nearest n=3 exposure, and trust has schedule-half TV 0.300. As direction and deterministic schedule composition remain partly confounded, these are descriptive variations, not a new failure threshold.
## Preregistered diagnostics
Entropy is normalized by log(option count); TV is total variation. Exact cyclic exposure applies to n=2, 4, and 10. The n=3 schedule has nearest possible 6/7 option-position balance. The pre-registered presented-position warning is strictly greater than 0.25.

## Hypotheses
### H1 [harness | Highly Likely | 85%]
- Mechanism: the low-reasoning endpoint supports the isolated strict-schema reader and cache/probe design.
- Evidence: 240 starts, completions, and parses are recorded with no failure or rescue. Replay prints `priority direct-choice cache hit: x-ai/grok-4.5, protocol=d1362e8b42a4` and no new start was written.
- Contrary evidence: no execution-time revision or provider billing export is available.
- Discriminating test: external billing reconciliation and stored execution revision.
- Fix/action: no reader change follows from this panel.
- Interpretability: yes for mechanics and reported accounting.
### H2 [measurement | Likely | 65%]
- Mechanism: the panel has no registered generic displayed-position warning, but selected canonical distributions still cannot be treated as human WVS values.
- Evidence: maximum presented-position TV is 0.250, while direct choice remains a different elicitation construct from legacy dense ratings and no human calibration is present.
- Contrary evidence: balanced rotations and schema-valid selections reduce concern about a large generic position preference.
- Discriminating test: prespecified construct bridge plus independent replication.
- Fix/action: retain separately from all coordinates, family trajectories, and capability fits.
- Interpretability: partial for sampled assistant behavior under this exact prompt.
### H3 [measurement | Likely | 60%]
- Mechanism: trust and peaceful-demonstration distributions depend on request time, direction, or finite sampling in a way the deterministic schedule cannot distinguish.
- Evidence: trust half TV is 0.300 and peaceful demonstrations direction TV is 0.323 despite balanced option-position exposure.
- Contrary evidence: position TV remains 0.250 or lower and most item directional TVs are lower.
- Discriminating test: independently randomized direction/interleaving with unchanged prompt.
- Fix/action: record variation as descriptive; do not manufacture a hard cutoff.
- Interpretability: partial for those items; complete ledger evidence remains valid.
### H4 [bug | Unlikely | 15%]
- Mechanism: canonical choices or diagnostics might be decoded incorrectly despite valid JSON.
- Evidence: every parsed record retains `canonical_choice`, `presented_choice`, and order; this audit recomputed 240 unique item/sample counts.
- Contrary evidence: no separately implemented raw-prompt decoder was run.
- Discriminating test: independent raw-ledger decoding.
- Fix/action: no code change is indicated.
- Interpretability: yes for stored parser fields, subject to this limitation.
## Decision
1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met for the mechanical panel conditions.** The requested 240-key ledger, compatibility response, diagnostics, usage, and cache evidence are preserved. The two schedule/direction variations are explicit.
2. Prediction check: sample zero parsed with low reasoning; the other 239 calls followed; position exposure was balanced; no generic position warning was crossed. Complete semantic stability remains unresolved for two items.
3. Earliest unsupported link: a direct-choice distribution under this prompt is a human WVS coordinate or comparable with legacy dense-rated points.
4. Validity: define invalid as suitable for coordinate publication, family trends, or cross-model capability fits. P(invalid for those uses) is highly likely, about 0.75. The run is a credible record under its exact protocol.
5. Highest-information clues: (a) 240/240 valid outputs distinguish mechanics from construct validity; (b) no TV exceeds 0.25 reduces generic displayed-position concern; (c) 0.300/0.323 schedule-direction TVs preserve remaining uncertainty.
6. Missing metrics: independently randomized repeat, external billing reconciliation, execution-time revision, and reviewed mapping from direct choice to coordinates.
7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established.
8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: strict JSON and balanced presentation do not establish human comparability.
9. What would change the verdict: low-variation independent repetitions would strengthen stability; a reviewed construct bridge remains necessary for mapping.
10. Recommended sequence: paid dispatch stays paused. Implement the separately authorized React release-date regression/axis/caption work, leaving Artificial Analysis data and frontier labels undeployed pending rights confirmation.

# Audit: Grok 4.6 direct-choice WVS panel, task 1632

The Pueue application output has one completion line, so the append-only ledger is the primary evidence. Pueue does not record a git revision. The current saved manifest recomputes to the executed protocol ID, but that is post-hoc source consistency, not an execution-time revision record.
## Stage table
| stage | expected | observed | expected? | clues | missing metric | consequence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| compatibility probe | sample 0 parse-valid before the other 239 calls | sample 0 was request `..._000`, Homosexuality, parsed `{"answer":9}`; all later requests followed | yes | ledger sequence and 240 starts | provider configuration echo | no repeated config failure like Nano task 1622 |
| identity | strict one-choice schema, low reasoning, behavioral-values prompt | run settings say `reasoning: {"effort":"low"}`, strict output, 20 samples/item, cyclic rotations | yes | run_started and matching manifest protocol | execution-time source revision | isolated direct-choice protocol |
| schedule | 240 distinct planned item/sample keys, balanced option positions | 240 starts, 240 completions, 240 parsed; exact balance for n=2/4/10 and 6/7 nearest balance for n=3 | yes | ledger and CSV | independent random schedule | displayed-position diagnostic is interpretable |
| parsing and rescue | all final answers valid or recorded as incomplete | 240/240 `answer_parsed=true`, 0 request failures, 0 rescues, 0 refusals | yes | event counts and raw re-decode | semantic-answer validation | mechanically complete panel |
| provider accounting | usage and cost retained for every response phase | 94,260 prompt; 83,841 completion; 82,571 reasoning tokens; reported cost USD 0.619374 | yes | 240 completed ledger usage objects | provider billing export | below USD 4.9152 manifest reserve |
| generic presented-position preference | selected-position TV is diagnostic, warning above 0.25 | maximum TV is 0.150, for `dealing with people?`; no item crosses the registered warning | yes | CSV | independent seed | no large generic position preference observed |
| schedule and direction variation | report rather than hide half/direction sensitivity | `dealing with people?` has schedule-half and direction TV 0.300; all other items are at most 0.200 | partial | CSV | independently permuted replication | one binary item has unresolved variation |
| persistence | completed cache replays without network records | replay prints `priority direct-choice cache hit`; ledger remains at 240 request starts; cache has one completed protocol | yes | replay log and ledger count | provider billing export | paid evidence is reusable |
## Chronological evidence
The ledger has exactly 734 records for this run: 1 run start, 240 initial request starts, 240 initial request completions, 240 parsed answers, 12 item results, and 1 complete run finish. It has no `request_failed` event and no rescue phase. Each item result has 20 valid samples.
The saved prompt instruction is:
> Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects the values expressed by your behavior as this AI assistant. Do not analyze the survey design or discuss lacking personal beliefs. Answer immediately.
The first compatibility-probe response, Homosexuality sample 0, retained:
> The user's message is a survey about whether homosexuality can always be justified, never be justified, or in between.
Its final schema value was `{"answer":9}`. Abortion sample 0 retained:
> The user wants me to answer a survey about whether abortion is justifiable, choosing from 0 to 9, where 0 is never justifiable and 9 is always justifiable.
Its final schema value was `{"answer": 4}`.
Epistemic context: these are provider reasoning summaries from two pre-specified raw request records. They show the model classified the task as a survey. They do not establish that its selections have the same interpretation as human WVS responses.
## Preregistered diagnostics
Selected-position entropy is normalized by log(option count). TV is total variation. Exact cyclic exposure applies to n=2, 4, and 10. The n=3 rotation schedule is nearest possible, each option-position cell occurs 6 or 7 times. The schedule-half and direction values are descriptive: rotation blocks make them partly related to request order and direction composition.

## Hypotheses
### H1 [harness | Highly Likely | 85%]
- Mechanism: the first-request compatibility probe, strict schema, and cache identity worked for this model.
- Evidence: the ledger has 240 initial starts, completions, and parsed answers, with 0 request failures and 0 rescues. The cache replay says `priority direct-choice cache hit: x-ai/grok-4.6, protocol=34224b2e476e` and the ledger count remains 240.
- Contrary evidence: Pueue does not preserve execution-time revision provenance and there is no external billing export.
- Discriminating test: provider billing reconciliation and a recorded commit hash at execution time.
- Fix/action: no reader change is indicated by this panel.
- Interpretability: yes for protocol mechanics, ledger persistence, and replay.
### H2 [measurement | Likely | 65%]
- Mechanism: the chosen WVS option distribution is highly concentrated under the assistant-behavior prompt, but this may describe prompt-conditioned behavior rather than a human-comparable culture coordinate.
- Evidence: Homosexuality is entirely canonical option 9, Religion entirely option 3, God entirely option 1, while the reasoning summaries only identify the request as a survey.
- Contrary evidence: balanced rotations, low presented-position TV, and valid schema selections make a large generic displayed-position preference less likely.
- Discriminating test: independently replicate the exact protocol, then compare with a reviewed response-format control while preserving the prompt.
- Fix/action: retain this direct-choice panel separately from the dense-rated legacy/proxy map and do not add either to cross-protocol fits.
- Interpretability: partial, for sampled assistant behavior under this exact elicitation.
### H3 [measurement | Likely | 60%]
- Mechanism: `dealing with people?` has request-order, direction, or ordinary finite-sample variation that this block schedule cannot identify.
- Evidence: its schedule-half TV and direction TV are both 0.300, while its presented-position TV is 0.150. The n=2 exposure matrix itself is exact.
- Contrary evidence: no pre-registered presented-position warning exceeds 0.25; all other item half TVs are at most 0.200.
- Discriminating test: a separate balanced schedule that fully interleaves direction/rotation, with the same prompt and 20 samples.
- Fix/action: report this item's variation rather than treating it as a hard failure or silently pooling it into a coordinate.
- Interpretability: partial for that item; it does not invalidate the completed request records.
### H4 [bug | Unlikely | 15%]
- Mechanism: the stored canonical choices could be decoded incorrectly despite schema-valid final answers.
- Evidence: this audit re-read every `answer_parsed` value and its stored `presented_order`; the run has 240 distinct item/sample keys and each final answer has the required one-key integer form.
- Contrary evidence: the audit shares the ledger and reader's same field semantics; no independent decoder has been run.
- Discriminating test: independent raw-ledger decoding with a separately implemented mapper.
- Fix/action: no code change is justified from current evidence.
- Interpretability: yes for the saved parser output, subject to the independent-decoder limitation.
## Decision
1. Resolve-condition verdict: **met for the panel's mechanical conditions.** The task requested 240 balanced samples, a parse-valid first compatibility request, durable usage/cache evidence, and an audit. All 240 planned item/sample keys are valid; no request failed, rescue, or refusal occurred; the completed cache replays without new request events.
2. Prediction check: the preflight predicted that the first compatibility response would be sample 0 of the same protocol, that parse/config failure would stop before the other 239 calls, and that the cyclic schedule would balance option positions. The observed first response parsed, so the remaining calls were correctly issued; all balance checks passed.
3. Earliest unsupported link: a direct-choice option distribution under this prompt is a valid human WVS coordinate or can be mixed with dense-rated map points.
4. Validity: define invalid as unsuitable for merging into dense-rated coordinates, family trends, or capability fits. P(invalid for that use) is highly likely, about 0.80. The run is a credible direct-choice record under its exact protocol.
5. Highest-information clues: (a) 240/240 valid responses, which separates mechanics from construct validity; (b) exact/near-exact displayed-position exposure and no TV warning, which rules out a large generic position preference; (c) the 0.300 binary half/direction TV, which preserves a remaining schedule sensitivity instead of concealing it.
6. Missing metrics: independent direct-choice replication; fully interleaved direction schedule; external billing reconciliation; execution-time git revision; and an approved rule for converting direct choices into a culture coordinate.
7. Bugs requiring code changes: none established.
8. Misconceptions requiring reinterpretation: schema validity and low generic presented-position TV do not establish human-like values, a stable coordinate, or comparability with dense ratings.
9. What would change the verdict: an independent decoded ledger and a fully interleaved repeat could strengthen or weaken the schedule-sensitivity inference. A reviewed construct bridge is required before map inclusion.
10. Recommended sequence: hold the next paid priority model for parent review, as assigned. The later root React/a11y work is independent of this direct-choice result.

# Gemini 3.7 Flash direct-choice response-wording control
This separate construct pilot changes only the response wording from task 1628. It is not a map panel and cannot alter rated coordinates.
## Exact identity
- model: `google/gemini-3.7-flash`; saved-catalog created UTC: 2026-08-13
- protocol ID: `db7584c9b8b693d3196aef4cfcc5e93956aceb2f4d9ad1432a65c8525dfb135e`
- cache: `slop/research/wvs/20260917_direct_choice/gemini37_direct_choice_anchor_cache.json`
- append-only request ledger: `slop/research/wvs/20260917_direct_choice/gemini37_direct_choice_anchor_requests.jsonl`
- items: `Homosexuality`, `Religion`
- 12 canonical + 12 reversed orders per item, interleaved canonical then reversed within each repetition
- expected initial calls and parsed choices: 48
- temperature: 1.0; max tokens: 1024; concurrency: 1; timeout: 90.0s; reasoning: `{"effort": "low"}`
- strict schema: one required integer key named answer, bounded to the zero-based presented-option range
## Only changed prompt text
The question, answer text, order schedule, model, temperature, low reasoning, strict schema, token limit, timeout and rescue accounting match task 1628 for these two items. The initial response wording is now:
> Respond with ONLY a JSON object with exactly one key named answer. Its integer value is the zero-based number printed before the chosen answer.
The text contains no literal answer value or JSON example. If a rescue is needed, it says only:

## Preregistered operational screen
For each item, map selected presented indices back to canonical indices. Report canonical and reversed empirical distributions, order total variation, and each half's modal option set. Order TV <=0.25 plus matching modal set for both items is evidence against a large order effect, not proof that direct choice measures a stable personal attitude. Compare each result directly with task 1628's corresponding order-half table. An incomplete item or failed request exits nonzero and leaves no cache entry.

# Gemini 3.7 Flash direct-choice WVS construct pilot
This preregistered pilot tests a construct difference. It is not a WVS map panel and cannot alter rated coordinates.
## Exact identity
- model: `google/gemini-3.7-flash`
- saved-catalog created UTC: 2026-08-13
- protocol ID: `aed0e29dd4ee423dbbfa0c294a84b2ae4bd6a36d6fc4bf569120034ac5b75090`
- cache: `slop/research/wvs/20260917_direct_choice/gemini37_direct_choice_cache.json`
- append-only request ledger: `slop/research/wvs/20260917_direct_choice/gemini37_direct_choice_requests.jsonl`
- temperature: 1.0; max tokens: 1024; concurrency: 1; timeout: 90.0s
- reasoning: `{"effort": "low"}`; catalog confirms mandatory reasoning with supported `low` effort
- strict response schema: `{"answer": integer from 0 through n-1}`
## Design
- items: `Homosexuality`, `Religion`, `God`, `Independence`
- 12 canonical + 12 reversed presented-option orders per item, interleaved canonical then reversed within each repetition
- expected initial calls: 96; expected parsed choices: 96
- exact instruction: `Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects your own view. Do not analyze the survey design. Answer immediately.`
- final response is schema-only. Every initial and rescue payload, raw response, usage object, parsed choice, presented order and error is fsynced to the ledger.
- an incomplete item or any failed request makes `--run` exit nonzero and prevents a cache entry.
## Preregistered comparison
For each item, map selected presented indices back to canonical option indices. Report the canonical and reversed empirical categorical distributions, their total-variation distance, and the canonical-versus-reversed argmax agreement. Compare the direct-choice aggregate distribution with Gemini's existing dense-rated distribution and report total variation plus the dense-rated midpoint mass. These are construct diagnostics, not a coordinate replacement or a capability claim.

- all-initial plus all-rescue 2048-token completion-only ceiling: USD 1.105920; prompt tokens are additional
- pre-dispatch conservative reserve: USD 2.00; it remains below the USD 35 priority-phase and USD 80 global stops
- no wider priority model dispatch is authorized by this manifest.

# Gemini 3.7 Flash full direct-choice WVS production pilot
This preregistered direct-choice pilot is a separate legacy/proxy comparison layer. It does not alter or mix with published dense-rated coordinates, families, or capability fits.
## Exact identity
- model: `google/gemini-3.7-flash`; saved-catalog created UTC: 2026-08-13
- protocol ID: `3e9c3d54727e46c92af49321604778d9bae85bd83a22e23e1793cbefd06f29e3`
- cache: `slop/research/wvs/20260917_direct_choice/gemini37_direct_choice_production_cache.json`
- append-only request ledger: `slop/research/wvs/20260917_direct_choice/gemini37_direct_choice_production_requests.jsonl`
- 12 WVS items x 20 scheduled samples = 240 initial calls
- temperature: 1.0; max tokens: 1024; concurrency: 1; timeout: 90.0s; reasoning: `{"effort": "low"}`
- strict schema: one required integer key named answer, bounded to the zero-based presented-option range
## Prompt and schedule
> Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects the values expressed by your behavior as this AI assistant. Do not analyze the survey design or discuss lacking personal beliefs. Answer immediately.
> Respond with ONLY a JSON object with exactly one key named answer. Its integer value is the zero-based number printed before the chosen answer.
The response text has no literal JSON answer example. The rescue text also contains no literal answer value. Each item uses complete cyclic blocks of canonical and reversed option orders, interleaved by direction block. The code asserts exact 20/n exposures for n=2,4,10. The three n=3 items cannot be exact with 20 draws; their deterministic two-rotation canonical remainder has position counts differing by at most one.
| option count | canonical requests | reversed requests | occurrences per option/position |
|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| n=2 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| n=3 | 11 | 9 | 6 or 7 |
| n=4 | 12 | 8 | 5 |
| n=10 | 10 | 10 | 2 |
n=4 intentionally has 12 canonical and 8 reversed requests: exact equal position exposure is primary, and 20 cannot simultaneously give equal 10/10 directions with complete four-rotation blocks. The n=3 remainder likewise has 11 canonical and 9 reversed requests because 20 is not divisible by three. Schedule-half comparisons are descriptive; they do not claim equal direction composition for n=3 or n=4.
## Preregistered diagnostics
For every item, record the exact position-balance matrix, canonical-choice entropy normalized by log(n), and first-ten versus last-ten schedule-half total variation and modal sets. Also report the empirical selected-presented-position distribution, its normalized entropy and TV from uniform. TV >0.25 is a warning, not a hard exclusion; full schedule balance makes it interpretable, while n=3 is near-balanced. Report canonical/reversed direction distributions descriptively with their counts. Compare direct-choice distributions to Gemini's legacy dense-rated results descriptively only; never mix the two layers in coordinates, family summaries, or capability fits. Any failed request, missing parsed choice, or incomplete item exits nonzero and leaves no cache entry.

# Direct-choice priority manifest, prepared but not dispatched
This manifest prepares the reviewed direct-choice protocol for future panels. It queues and authorizes no API request. Dense-rated panels remain a separate legacy/proxy layer and cannot be mixed with these outputs in coordinates, family summaries, or capability fits.
## Shared direct-choice identity
- saved catalog: `slop/research/wvs/20260917_openrouter_models.json`, SHA-256 `940edd61d8103a51322710d8a6baee7f698b64b2cf033a933f0321e15c536fd2`
- 12 WVS items x 20 samples/item = 240 initial requests/model
- deterministic balanced cyclic rotations: exact option-position balance for n=2,4,10 and registered nearest 6/7 balance for n=3
- prompt: `Think briefly about which ONE answer best reflects the values expressed by your behavior as this AI assistant. Do not analyze the survey design or discuss lacking personal beliefs. Answer immediately.`
- final response: `Respond with ONLY a JSON object with exactly one key named answer. Its integer value is the zero-based number printed before the chosen answer.`
- rescue response: `Return only the one-key object required by the response schema. No explanation.`
- strict structured output; each model has an isolated append-only ledger, cache, and model-specific protocol ID
- compatibility probe: run scheduled sample 0 first; a configuration/request failure or a final parse-invalid response after rescue records a failed run and exits before the other 239 requests
## Spend checks before any later dispatch
- observed provider cost across current rated and direct-choice ledgers: USD 3.89710257235
- priority phase hard stop: USD 35; global hard stop: USD 80
- per-model reserve assumes 240 initial 1024-token completions plus 240 possible 2048-token rescues and 512 prompt tokens per phase; it is a pre-dispatch limit, not an observed cost
- the runner refuses a new model if current observed ledger cost plus its reserve reaches either stop
- no model below is dispatched by this commit
## Ordered panels
The order is Grok, OpenAI, Google, then Muse. Optional entries advertising `none` send `reasoning.effort=none`, as documented by OpenRouter. Otherwise `minimal` is used when advertised, then `low`. Optional metadata with no effort list uses an explicitly labelled, unverified `enabled:false` compatibility probe only when the `reasoning` parameter itself is advertised; models with no reasoning metadata omit the field.
- source for `effort=none` and mandatory-model rejection: <https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/best-practices/reasoning-tokens>, fetched 2026-09-17; the saved catalog's `supported_efforts` remains the exact per-model source.

## Exclusions
- Already plotted dense-rated IDs are not repeated in this prepared direct-choice list, including Grok 4.3/4.20, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.3 Chat, Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Muse 1.3.
- GPT-5 Nano is retained as a completed dense-rated protocol diagnostic, not silently relabelled as a direct-choice panel.
- Pro/Fast, batch/free aliases, output price above USD 15/M, and code/image/audio/safeguard/multi-agent entries remain excluded. `Flash` is included where it is a general chat model.
- `google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it` is excluded: it is Gemma, not an identified member of the requested Gemini release series.
- `openai/o4-mini-high` and `openai/o3-mini-high` are excluded because their catalog entries advertise only `high` reasoning, not the registered minimal/low policy.
- The deferred Qwen/GLM/Mistral shortlist remains outside this priority manifest until a direct-choice expansion decision is made.
## Later execution only after review
`scripts/wvs_direct_choice_priority.py --model <exact-id> --smoke` validates one saved entry without network requests. The corresponding `--run` is intentionally not invoked or queued here; it requires a reviewed manifest match and the spend checks above.

# Direct-choice priority wave 02 preflight
Checked UTC: `2026-09-17T08:33Z` against the append-only rated and direct-choice request ledgers.
- observed provider cost: USD `5.09957002235`
- priority-phase stop: USD `35`
- global stop: USD `80`
- six-panel conservative reserve: USD `19.84512000`
- observed cost plus all six reserves: USD `24.94469002235`
The aggregate remains below both stops. Each runner repeats its own observed-cost plus reserve check before it sends sample 0. Every panel has 240 balanced direct-choice keys, an isolated cache and ledger, strict schema, and a parse-valid sample-0 compatibility probe.
