NUMBERED COPY WM01a — READ-SKILL SURVIVAL PROBE (derived)  v0.2
Celeste · 2026-11-06 · America/Denver · for Kirk to hand to Grok Code (GC)
WAIT FOR WM01b GO before you cut a branch or run anything.
Tip SHAs, authorize bounds, and GO live only in WM01b.
ORDER / ROADMAP / parking-lot docs are Celeste-only — NEVER hand ORDER to GC.
This paste authorizes ONLY the bounded WM01 work below. No unrelated page, ledger,
or product edits. No merge. Hypha exact-head walk + Kirk authorization before any merge.
================================================================================

## WHY (intent — read first)

Picture from the Nov 5 exact-match run (tiny probe; not a general law):
the notebook held every page (store hit 100% on exact/force). Soft injection after
interference was weak (~5%). Paraphrase keys missed the store (0% store hit) in that
setup. Hard-injecting the page into the window worked right after teaching (~99% model
recall) and fell to 0% after interference even while in_prompt stayed 1.

So this brick does NOT rebuild the store. It asks one focused question:

  Under a matched total optimizer-update budget, does periodic copy / read-skill
  rehearsal during the wash preserve afterB force-recall better than an ordinary
  interference control — including a possible null?

Do NOT implement magic-bookmark cues, coarse→fine towers, tone tags, or mycelium-echo
here — those remain future proposals in magic-bookmark-design.md.

## WHERE THIS RUNS (Kirk's Mac — mandatory)

"Local" means Kirk's actual Mac, not a cloud host CPU and not the bot computer.

Before any branch cut or training loop:
1. Identify and print: hostname, OS version, cwd, username.
2. Confirm readable paths to the Kirk-supplied ZIPs below (or STOP).
3. If you are remote / have no connected Mac filesystem with those Downloads paths:
   STOP. Return the full code package + exact commands for Kirk to run on his Mac.
   Never silently run on cloud CPU. No new cloud paid inference.
   (Note: using GC as a coding service may still incur service charges; that is separate
   from "no cloud training/inference for this probe.")

## PORTABLE INPUTS (Mac Downloads; relative paths after unpack)

Celeste supplies the following inputs, with packaging hashes verified:

  A) /Users/kirkmiller/Downloads/Wonder-Mind-Original-Code-and-Results-v1.zip
  B) /Users/kirkmiller/Downloads/WM01_INPUTS_2026-11-06.zip
     (Celeste-prepared wrapper: original source-bundle.zip + MANIFEST.sha256 +
      magic-bookmark-design.md + rerun report/provenance copies as needed)

Do NOT assume /workspace paths are visible to GC on the Mac.

After unpacking B into a work folder of your choice, prefer relative paths, e.g.:

  ./WM01_INPUTS_2026-11-06/source-bundle.zip
  ./WM01_INPUTS_2026-11-06/MANIFEST.sha256
  ./WM01_INPUTS_2026-11-06/magic-bookmark-design.md   (if present at wrapper root)
  then unpack source-bundle.zip → ./source-bundle/...

### Expected archive member (inside source-bundle.zip) — validate these (subset)

  source-bundle/designs/magic-bookmark-design.md
  source-bundle/summaries/exact-match-SUMMARY.txt
  source-bundle/summaries/exact-match-RESULTS.txt
  source-bundle/wonder-tests/exact_match_probe.py
  source-bundle/wonder-tests/input.txt
  source-bundle/wonder-tests/results-exact-match.jsonl
  (+ other members listed in MANIFEST — validate each MEMBER you actually read)

Recorded SHA256 of original source-bundle.zip (box verify 2026-11-06):
  8959d8913e6dc764e7a9890f97f8a2c87030b5f74e58125b3601db85b27416b3

Validation order:
  1) Hash the supplied source-bundle.zip; must match the recorded SHA above (or the
     hash Celeste prints in WM01_INPUTS if re-confirmed — report both if drift).
  2) Unpack; for each file you read, check its SHA against MANIFEST.sha256 subset.
  3) Do NOT require hashing all ~42 unrelated packet files if unused.
Originals and wrapper inputs remain read-only / unchanged.

## WHAT TO BUILD (GC discovers exact CLI/layout)

NEW derived probe package on a new branch (add-only). Suggested path under FreeLattice:

  docs/library/wonder-mind/2026-11-06-wm01-read-skill/

Must include:
  1) NEW Python probe script(s) — derived from exact-match / force-arm ideas; originals RO
  2) Runner that executes the finite protocol below
  3) dependency/env manifest (CPU on Mac; pin versions; no paid model APIs)
  4) tests (refuse if originals mutated; JSONL schema checks)
  5) raw logs + per-seed results JSONL + short MD report
  6) exact reproduction commands (Mac paths / relative)

Leave old apparatus and results intact. No Quiet Room. No broad FreeLattice app smokes.
No merge. No AAS / private patent files.

## PROTOCOL

### Scientific question
After a short copy/teach phase that establishes use of a hard-injected page, then a wash:
does interleaving short copy/read rehearsals preserve afterB force-recall vs CONTROL,
under matched total optimizer updates?

### Arms (exactly these two; predeclared)
A. CONTROL — interference wash for the full wash budget.
B. REHEARSAL — same total optimizer updates; a PROPOSED fraction of wash steps replaced by
   short copy/read rehearsal on TEACH-set facts (exact form). GC MUST fix rehearsal cadence
   (every K steps, length, which teach ids) in writing BEFORE viewing afterB results.

### Seeds (hard)
Exactly seeds {1, 2}. Predeclared. No optional seed 3. No cherry-pick.

### Wall-clock deadline (hard)
60 minutes measured wall time INCLUDING preflight.
- Before starting the matrix: estimate remaining time for A×2 + B×2.
- Do NOT start a new arm unless the remaining estimate fits the deadline.
- At deadline: terminate, save partial logs, label outcome PARTIAL — not a completed run result.
- If the full protocol is infeasible under 60 minutes: STOP and propose protocol changes
  for Kirk/Celeste. Do NOT silently shrink seeds, fact count, or wash length.

### Honest exposure rule
If rehearsal REPLACES interference updates, do NOT claim equal interference exposure.
State clearly: "Limitation: matched total updates, not matched interference exposure."
(Optional future brick may add an exposure-matched secondary baseline; not required if
deadline forbids.)

### Metrics — every seed × arm × {afterA, afterB}
Required:
  store_hit, in_prompt (force eval), model_recall, mean_p_true
  + any copy_loss fields you keep from the original probe family

Two evaluation lenses (both, every seed; label limitations):
  1) PRACTICED-FACT retention — eval on teach/rehearsal fact IDs (memorized-answers risk;
     say so).
  2) HELD-OUT read-skill generalization — disjoint fact IDs never optimized in teach or wash;
     tests whether the *skill of using a provided page* transfers, not only memorized answers.

Held-out Shakespeare (or the same corpus the original probe uses — verify from original
script) EVAL loss / perplexity BEFORE and AFTER the wash — no training on that held-out
eval stream. Purpose: check new-learning tradeoff / forgetting of language modeling.
No joule claims without a meter.

### Pairing / controls
- For each seed, arms A and B share an identical teach checkpoint (save once per seed; load for both washes).
- Both washes start from that same checkpoint and share the same wash RNG prefix until
  their schedules diverge as documented.
- Force-eval afterB remains the primary readout for read-skill survival.
- Soft-exact afterB secondary.
- Tiny word-level model family and data scale: discover from exact_match_probe.py /
  input.txt — do not invent a larger model.

### Leakage safeguards
- No optimizing on held-out fact labels in any phase. The practiced-fact set is deliberately trained/rehearsed; do not describe it as unseen evaluation.
- No training on held-out Shakespeare eval.
- Rehearsal only on declared teach ids.
- Freeze and log python/numpy/torch seeds.
- Refuse start if source-bundle.zip or read members fail hash checks.

### Out of scope
Cue channel, coarse→fine, mycelium-echo full arm, Patent Corpus/LoRA, AAS, Chat UI,
Tree ports, editing AUTONOMY, Quiet Room, merging PR328/PR330, unrelated ledger/page edits.

## BRANCH / RETURN
- Base: fresh FreeLattice main (see WM01b recorded SHA; report drift).
- New branch with wm01 in the name; add-only under the wm01 path.
- Open PR optional for review. DO NOT MERGE.
- Merge later requires: Hypha PASS on exact head AND Kirk authorization.
- Return: base/head/branch/PR URL, diffstat, hashes (zip + members read + new files),
  full per-seed JSONL, MD report (question, cadence chosen before results, exposure
  limitation, practiced vs held-out numbers, Shakespeare eval loss before/after,
  PARTIAL vs complete), reproduction commands, "not merged — awaiting Hypha + Kirk".

Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.
