narration

Ablations found a clear optimum rather than “more filtering is always better”: the best candidate is 379.4 perplexity (20.4% below random). Raising the learned noise penalty further or tightening target-style function-word matching regressed to 411.9 and 400.4, respectively. I’m locking the moderate setting, which is also less likely to overfit the disclosed dev sample.

  "input": "const patch = \"*** Begin Patch\\n*** Add File: /workspace/claim.md\\n+# Hypothesis\\n+\\n+At a 12M-token budget, a small model benefits more from fluent, information-dense English with little crawl chrome than from maximizing source coverage. Because the evaluation is equally split across four registers, the quality filter should be applied inside explicit encyclopedic, general-prose, news, and technical-Q&A strata rather than allowing one easy-to-detect register to dominate.\\n+\\n+# Mechanism\\n+\\n+`curate.py` learns a corpus-specific noise lexicon: words frequent in a deterministic 5% sample of the raw pool but strongly underrepresented in the disclosed high-quality target. It combines that signal with English/prose statistics, boilerplate and spam indicators, repetition measures, register cues, and target-register stop-word rates. It ranks within four strata, interleaves them, and removes exact-content duplicates.\\n+\\n+Observable prediction independent of model perplexity: in the consumed prefix, the four estimated token totals will remain within 1% of one another; exact duplicate texts will be zero; and the learned commerce/navigation-noise rate will be lower than in an equal-token random prefix. Stop-word rates should also be nearer the disclosed register-specific values (0.402 encyclopedia, 0.435 general prose, 0.419 news, and 0.330 technical Q&A).\\n+\\n+# Falsification\\n+\\n+The mechanism is falsified if a fresh prefix audit does not show those balance, deduplication, and noise-rate changes, or if removing the learned-noise term and register balancing consistently improves loss on disjoint high-quality samples across training seeds. It is also falsified if gains are confined to one target quarter while the other three degrade.\\n+\\n+# Transfer\\n+\\n+The method transfers to another raw crawl by relearning its noise words from that crawl and a small representative target sample; no pool IDs, domains, or external labels are embedded. For a different deployment distribution, replace the target sample and the four equal quotas with its register mix while retaining the fluency, boilerplate, spam, and exact-deduplication stages.\\n*** End Patch\";\ntext(await tools.apply_patch(patch));\n"
