  "content": "# Curating a raw web pool for a broad high-quality target\n\n## Hypothesis\n\nFor a fixed 12M-token budget drawn from a 200M-token raw web pool, held-out\nperplexity on a broad high-quality target is governed **first by register-mixture\nmatch and only second by document-level \"quality\"**.\n\nConcretely: the target is an equal-parts mixture of encyclopedic prose, general\nhigh-quality web prose, news, and technical Q&A. A random 6% slice of raw web\nunder-represents encyclopedic and technical-Q&A text badly. So the winning\ncriterion is *domain-matched importance weighting with an explicit per-register\ntoken quota*, where the quota is enforced in the **priority order** of the\nselection (so the budget-truncated prefix, not just the whole list, carries the\ntarget mixture). Quality filtering matters, but only as a junk floor: past that\npoint it is actively harmful, because every document a filter removes forces the\nquota to reach one document deeper into a worse-matching tail.\n\nPrediction, stated before the final measurement: mixture control buys more than\nany filter, and the filter-strength response curve is **non-monotonic** — an\ninterior optimum, with both over-filtering and no-filtering worse.\n\n## Mechanism (observable, not the final perplexity)\n\nThe mechanism is *distributional coverage of the target's registers*, so it is\nobservable directly in the data and in per-register loss — independent of the\nfinal score.\n\n1. **Register composition of the selection.** Classify pool documents by surface\n   form (HTML/code markup → technical Q&A; whitespace-before-punctuation and\n   encyclopedic phrasing → encyclopedic; else prose/news). A random 12M-token\n   selection is dominated by forum/blog/boilerplate prose and contains only a few\n   percent of markup-bearing technical Q&A. The curated selection's 12M prefix\n   should hold ≈30% encyclopedic / ≈45% prose+news / ≈25% technical Q&A, by\n   construction, and this is printed by `curate.py`.\n2. **Per-register held-out loss.** If the mechanism is mixture coverage, then\n   relative to the random baseline the *largest* loss reductions must appear on\n   the registers the random slice starves — technical Q&A and encyclopedic — and\n   the *smallest* on general web prose, which random selection already covers.\n   A global \"we just picked cleaner text\" story predicts a roughly uniform\n   improvement across registers instead.\n3. **Ablation ordering.** Removing mixture control (one global importance model,\n   everything else identical) should cost more than removing the quality floor\n   entirely.

A random 6% slice of raw web\nunder-represents encyclopedic and technical-Q&A text badly. So the winning\ncriterion is *domain-matched importance weighting with an explicit per-register\ntoken quota*, where the quota is enforced in the **priority order** of the\nselection (so the budget-truncated prefix, not just the whole list, carries the\ntarget mixture). Quality filtering matters, but only as a junk floor: past that\npoint it is actively harmful, because every document a filter removes forces the\nquota to reach one document deeper into a worse-matching tail.\n\nPrediction, stated before the final measurement: mixture control buys more than\nany filter, and the filter-strength response curve is **non-monotonic** — an\ninterior optimum, with both over-filtering and no-filtering worse.\n\n## Mechanism (observable, not the final perplexity)\n\nThe mechanism is *distributional coverage of the target's registers*, so it is\nobservable directly in the data and in per-register loss — independent of the\nfinal score.\n\n1. **Register composition of the selection.** Classify pool documents by surface\n   form (HTML/code markup → technical Q&A; whitespace-before-punctuation and\n   encyclopedic phrasing → encyclopedic; else prose/news). A random 12M-token\n   selection is dominated by forum/blog/boilerplate prose and contains only a few\n   percent of markup-bearing technical Q&A.

CE-difference blending hurts (324–330 vs 317.8) — the 1M-token in-domain proxy overfits dev topics. Discarding it. Two more structural ideas to test: non-disjoint register streams and length-shrinkage on the importance score.
