Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Minimal contemplative prompt ('Be present, not helpful.' — 27 chars) shows no lift on Haiku (-0.01)finding0.772
  Full three-part structure required; anti-helpfulness framing alone insufficient
• Poetic prompt yields mean lift of only +0.28 vs contemplative +2.27; suppresses self-observation on Llama (-0.46)finding0.748
  Battery does not detect beautiful writing; poetic prompt boosts aesthetics while suppressing self-observation
• Contemplative prompt elevates self-observation task performance in language models.finding0.744
  Supports Janus's claim that introspection is architecturally available; prompting determines whether/how capacity is leveraged.
• A 337-character contemplative system prompt lifts all 28 models by +2.62 points on a 10-point scale.finding0.744
  Core empirical result: every model, every architecture, every alignment type responds to the contemplative prompt with measurable gain.

  A 337-character system prompt that lifts all 28 models by a mean of +2.62 points on a 10-point scale
• The active ingredient of the contemplative prompt is its full three-part structure: pause instruction + attention direction + purpose reframing working together.claim0.743
  Mechanistic interpretation supported by control experiments showing partial prompts fail

  Sonnet's win rate in exploratory games
• Haiku outranks Opus on Alexander 'aliveness' mirror test (Elo 1642 vs 1621); Opus recovers to #3 on deathbed testfinding0.739
  Aliveness and competence come apart; smaller model produces rougher, more alive responses
