# C2b (prereg §4a amendment under review): confidence-gated inheritance. The pre-registered C2 failed # (retention ≤ 0.81 at k ≤ 150 despite competent supply): the child fits eight families of confident # garbage alongside the one competent family. Here the child learns only prompts its source is # confident on (verifier-free). Measures retention by gate τ, the Youden τ* separating own- from # off-family confidence, and the off-family harm of ungated inheritance. experiment: llm_society_v2_calib_b_transmission_conf kind: llm_society_calib stage: transmission_conf base_model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct seed: 1 families: [strings, setops, numtheory, mixedtoken, digits, alphabet, prime, wordlen, roman] probe_families: [setops, alphabet, digits] k_pool: 300 # prompts per family answered by the source (2700 total); gate keeps a subset taus: [0.5, 0.7, 0.85] epochs: 3 n_test: 100 spec_train: 1200 spec_epochs: 3 lora: {r: 16, alpha: 32} output: {dir: results/llm_society_v2_calib_b_transmission_conf}
