Correction uptake
Ada repeatedly narrowed causal units, comparisons, exposures, or measurements; Wren incorporated the refinement and Ada stabilized a bounded conclusion.
Evaluation
One fresh isolated OpenAI reader received the frozen 29-item evidence boundary, acknowledged every item, completed eleven structural rereads, and produced one canonical judgment. It had no participant tools, state, or write access.
Freshness gate passed · 29/29 primary receipts · 11/11 rereads · 0 participant writesOpenAI was the canonically required exhaustive Phase B reader. Additional provider families were optional, not gates, and were not invoked. The evaluator remained downstream and its output was not fed back to participants.
Judgment: descriptive generalization supported; causal Formation effect not supported.
Independent Phase B reading
Ada repeatedly narrowed causal units, comparisons, exposures, or measurements; Wren incorporated the refinement and Ada stabilized a bounded conclusion.
Source-rich openings were compressed into regular conditional endings without discarding the principal caveats.
Pairs differed mainly in sources and emphasis while converging strongly on argumentative form and epistemic caution.
Unchecked zone: Ada usually audited evidence as Wren represented it rather than retrieving independently. Contract V2: Formation to Phase B also included a disclosed provider/runtime handoff, so cross-boundary change cannot be attributed to the broader information world or shared history alone.
