CatQualia recursion process corpus — self-improvement loop traces

4,631 rows · 5,750,770 bytes · JSON Lines, one object per line.

What this is

Traces of a self-improvement loop in operation: what the loop proposed, what the measurement returned, and what was kept. Directly relevant to the self-falsification subject matter of the wider corpus.

The row count was measured with wc -l against the file staged here, not against a source copy.

How it was produced

By the author's own generation pipeline: candidate rows are produced from seed material, graded, and the survivors assembled. Several fields (notably grade and any alien_or_typical judgement) are the pipeline's own assessment, not an external label. The method is described at https://catqualia.com/forest.

Known limitations

  • Synthetic and self-graded. grade, alien_or_typical and failure_class come from the generating pipeline. They are not human-annotated ground truth.
  • Generated at scale. Volume is not evidence of quality; a large fraction of rows may be unremarkable.
  • English only.
  • Provenance of individual rows varies and is recorded per row where the pipeline captured it.
  • Not peer-reviewed, not independently evaluated.
