Prose: adopted the simplified rewrite for the Reproducibility preamble, SI
Text S1 and S2, and the two tables. It reads better - shorter sentences, no
shouty caps, no self-commentary in the proposition headings.
Fact-checked against the artifacts before adopting. Corrections:
- Table S2 said grounding retention used "18+ replicates per point". E2 uses
100 lineages; 18 is the *neural* grounding sweep. (Pre-existing error,
faithfully carried over by the rewrite.)
- The emergent parents' 0.535/0.474 are the accuracies at the LONGEST
divergence (t_div=3200), not overall means (0.595/0.545); now qualified.
Verified merge holds 0.954-0.956 at every divergence, residual exactly
0.000 in both emergent conditions.
- Dropped an invented run date (2026-08-11; the run is from 2026-09-06) and
an internal project-phase reference ("Phase 3").
- The llm_speciation duration question is no longer open - it ran, and found
no isolation from over-training (1-12 epochs); text updated.
- Restored the confidence-weighting numbers the rewrite dropped: paired
bootstrap contrast |rho| = -0.021, CI [-0.130, +0.059] (re-derived), plus
the nuance that the weighting does sharpen the level contrast.
- "Minimal model" -> "biological model"; "LLM tier in progress" -> done.
- Trimmed an unverifiable citation ("neuron-identifiability approaches...")
to the reference the bibliography actually carries.
Two rendering bugs the LaTeX version exposed, both pre-existing:
- Greek and several math symbols were absent from build.py's unicode map, so
alpha and epsilon were rendering as missing-glyph boxes in the SI. Added
Greek, set membership, superscripts, proper minus. Both PDFs now contain
zero missing glyphs.
- inline() split on code spans BEFORE applying emphasis, so any italic
containing `code` was torn into fragments - visible in the main text as a
literal "is*" and mis-scoped italics on p. 3. Code spans are now stashed
behind sentinels first. This fixed the manuscript, not just the SI.
- A leading markdown H1 leaked into the body as literal text; the wrapper
supplies the title, so it is now skipped.
