The phenomenon where strong-tier models benefit less from harness evolution because they already solve many tasks under the initial harness

- Explanation offered for why high-base-capability models show lower Δbenefit
Related by similarity (8)
cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Tiny differences in initial conditions can lead to vastly divergent outcomes, explaining why living structure must be created dynamically.
- Phenomenon where a moment bleeds into adjacent moments temporally; includes deja vu as reversed direction.
- How well an RL agent learns, measured by reward curves and associated with causal emergence levels.
- Normalized EI bounded 0-1, decomposed into determinism minus degeneracy.
- An emergent ordering created by a well-arranged structure of centers of different sizes, binding them into a whole.
- Thorndike's principle that satisfied behaviors are strengthened; paper argues stripping its experiential language is incoherent
- Metric for intervention effectiveness: 0 = ineffective, 1 = full flip of model output from false to true or vice versa
- Pearson correlation of feature activations across 40M tokens used to measure feature similarity and universality across models
