The real-weight image of E12, and the answer to the mode-connectivity reviewer. Small no-BN MLPs on MNIST, forked from a shared base and trained independently, are weight-averaged; we measure the linear-mode-connectivity barrier before and after in-house deterministic Git Re-Basin permutation alignment (neural/rebasin.py, scipy linear_sum_assignment), decomposing it into removable (coordinate artefact) and residual (reproductive isolation). kind: speciation_real. Result (3 reps): - shared (same task, shared fork): no barrier — trivially mergeable. - independent (same task, different init): naive 0.056, alignment removes 98% (residual 0.001) — the incompatibility is a coordinate artefact. - conflict (conflicting label maps): naive 0.496, alignment removes 0% (residual 0.496) — genuine reproductive isolation. Because alignment demonstrably works on the independent case, the conflict residual is real, not a failure to align. - Isolation cliff (speciation_real_cliff): residual rises 0.00->0.13->0.19->0.28-> 0.40->0.49 with the fraction of conflicting classes — the real-weight mirror of E12's cliff; residual==naive throughout (functional, not coordinate). rebasin.py sanity-gated (recovers a known permutation exactly). plot_speciation_real.py (2-panel), +4 pure-NumPy tests (142 green), README with honest positioning vs Git Re-Basin / Entezari / Frankle / Pari 2024 / Zhou 2026. Wired into make mnist (needs torchvision). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
