Unbounded Alpha Sweep

Procedure sweeping injection coefficient alpha in integer centroid-unit steps with early stopping on nonfluency to find optimal settings

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

framework

Psychological Steering Framework
uses
The paper's primary contribution: performs unbounded, fluency-constrained sweeps in semantically calibrated centroid units using psychological artifacts

concept

Fluency Constraint
implements
Early stopping in alpha sweeps when mean fluency falls below 95% of baseline or >5% of responses fall below 90% baseline

method

Embedding-based Construct Logistic Classifier
uses
Logistic regressor on Qwen3Embedding-0.6B embeddings trained on construct statements; used to measure construct presence in alpha sweeps
RoBERTa-large CoLA Fluency Classifier
uses
RoBERTa-large model trained on Corpus of Linguistic Acceptability used to score 0-to-1 fluency of generated text

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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