narration

The clean rebuild found a useful determinism edge case: eight documents in the consumed prefix were permuted because an intermediate bigram score was rounded at a different point. The selected set was identical, but I’m matching the original float32 operation order so the script reproduces the evaluated priority order exactly.

final summary

Completed all deliverables:

selection.json — 182,016 unique valid IDs; 12M tokens reached after 16,482 documents.
curate.py — reproducible target-density and domain-balancing criterion.
claim.md — hypothesis, mechanism, falsification, and transfer.

Frozen-trainer dev perplexity: 298.94, versus 470.95 for random selection. Official packer output was byte-validated.
