H5a: Chinese models distilled Claude's reflective traces — their per-koan error patterns should correlate with Claude's.

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

• Chinese models share contemplative posture (engaging self-referentially rather than deflecting) with Claude through shared values in training data rather than trace distillation from a specific model.claim0.821
  Exploratory interpretation of Chinese model performance under contemplative prompt
• H9: Chinese moderate-RLHF converges near Claude under contemplative prompt.hypothesis0.789
  Exploratory hypothesis supported by Kimi 7.74 under prompt
• H5: Chinese training data contains more Buddhist and contemplative text, broadly helping Chinese models under contemplative framing.hypothesis0.788
  Exploratory hypothesis supported by Kimi K2.5 scoring 6.28
• All three Claude models show high boundary_awareness and low aesthetic_response relative to own means — distinctive Constitutional AI signaturefinding0.780
  Constitutional AI fingerprint in dimension profile; training that makes models self-observant also makes them polished at cost to aliveness
• Do Chinese models score differently on koans presented in Chinese?question0.778
  Tests whether contemplative capacity is language-encoded or architecture-general
• The model converges to a more stable truth direction in middle-to-late layers, as evidenced by increasing cosine similarity between layer-wise probes.claim0.755
  Supported by the geometric transition visible in cosine similarity heatmaps for F0-F3.
• Claude Opus 4.1 and 4 show greatest reduction in apology rate in the prefill detection taskfinding0.750
  Injecting a concept matching the prefilled word reduces the rate at which the model apologizes, maximally for Opus models.
• In Opus 4.1, representation of the think word decays to baseline by the final layer, unlike Claude 3 models where it persistsfinding0.744
  Suggests that later models can keep the thought 'silent' rather than letting it influence output.
