# LLM speciation, de-confounded conflict sweep ("add" design, 3 seeds)

Companion to `results/llm_speciation/` (full legend there; this run feeds panel B of its figure).
Private training held fixed at n_train while conflict data is ADDED on top, so any decline in the
merge's private-family accuracy would be interference, not a data-budget artefact. Result: no trend —
the merge tracks parent A within seed noise at every conflict level (pre-registered reading #1:
conflict damage is localised to the conflicted function). Run at 3 seeds because the single-seed pilot
contained one anomalous grid point (a bad parent-B training run); the seeded curve is the reportable
one.
