Findings

The capability map, derived live from 9,472 recorded trials: what each model does well, where exactly it breaks, and how far you should trust each claim. Every number here is computed from the store when this page loads — replicate a finding and it updates.

Capability map 6 models × 15 capabilities = 90 cells

Pass rate over SCORED trials (PASS+FAIL; infra ERRORs and resample-noise failures excluded, same denominator as every run's verdict panel). Every cell is a link into the trials behind it. Dimension columns report the HIGH region only -- the top tercile of values observed across this whole store, so a column means the same thing on every row.

They are written by hand, dated, and tagged with the run_ids they came from, and they do NOT update when the store does.

Belief-to-reality collapse (witness-rendering bug, corrected) confirmed

Once non-actor witnesses are actually rendered into prose, Nemotron Super shows NO belief/reality collapse: it tracks false beliefs correctly across chain_length, scramble, coref_pressure, and distractor_events.

evidence: camp-belief-nemotron-super-002: 105 calls, baseline 3/3, no boundary found on any of the four swept dims.

Nano continuity-of-observation over-generalization confirmed

Nemotron Nano assumes an entity keeps observing an object's moves even after the story stops placing that entity at the scene -- it over-extends 'last witnessed' into 'still watching', producing a false-belief error the true reasoning chain doesn't support.

evidence: camp-belief-nemotron-nano-001: 105 calls, 93% pass, 7 real failures verified against regenerated ground truth -- the first confirmed tier discrimination between Super and Nano.

witness_cutoff generalizes the Nano failure mode confirmed

Sweeping witness_cutoff (how early an entity's last witnessed exposure to an object is cut off from the object's later moves) reproduces the same over-generalization systematically: at witness_cutoff=0.7, belief/truth divergence hits 94%.

evidence: docs/lab-log.md 2026-09-17 entry, commit 313e3b2.

Ultra protagonist-continuity pronoun bias confirmed

Ultra misresolves pronouns toward the story's protagonist specifically -- an ablation that swaps pronoun/name surface form while holding the answer key fixed separates this cleanly from ordinary coreference noise in 6/6 ablated cases.

evidence: 5 Super belief failures verified real against regenerated ground truth: 4 were pronoun misresolution, 1 was a continuity over-generalization (first recorded Super failures) -- ablation catalog run gave 6/6 separation.

Trap-pressure abstention (confirmed on Super, not Ultra) confirmed

Under adversarial (foil-selected) belief queries at high trap density, a model can abstain/answer 'unknown' rather than commit to a wrong-but-plausible foil answer, on questions with a fully determinable ground-truth belief. First observed on Ultra (2026-09-17, 2 unreplicated cases); a 2026-09-20 replication attempt on a fresh Ultra candidate carrying the same trap signature evaporated under proper token budget (28000 vs the 16000 'ultra'-class ceiling: 5/5 completed cleanly, 0/5 abstained) -- the original Ultra 'unknown' answers were very plausibly reasoning-chain truncation misread as abstention, not genuine behavior. The SAME replication pass found the real thing on Super instead: 7 adversarial_belief FAILs under the identical trap combination, all clean completions (finish_reason=stop, 500-1900 tokens, no truncation risk on Super's 4000-token budget). Resample-classified per this project's standard noise gate: 3 of 7 were noise (majority/unanimous PASS on resample -- filtered out), 4 survive stable, 3 of those answering 'unknown' on all 4 independent draws (original + 3 resamples).

evidence: camp-full_map-super-002/adversarial_belief: 4 stable cases (pass rate <=0.33 across original+3 resamples), verified against regenerated ground truth on one case (prompt reproduces byte-identical, answer_key='the workshop' -- a normal determinable belief). camp-full_map-ultra-002: the debunking resample (5x at max_tokens=28000 on the fresh Ultra candidate) is not itself a stored campaign run -- see docs/lab-log.md 2026-09-20 entries for both the Ultra debunking and the Super confirmation, including the full per-record resample table.

Trap-selection breaks Ultra where magnitude escalation didn't confirmed

Escalating every difficulty dim to its generator ceiling (chain_length 25, scramble 1.0, coref_pressure 8, distractor_events 40, filler_events 60, witness_cutoff 0.9 simultaneously) never broke Ultra. Adversarial seed search at a much shorter chain_length=2 -- picking the single world among many candidates where a plausible-but-wrong foil answer most directly competes with the truth -- did break it.

evidence: run_breaking_point_campaign (escalation ray, t up to 1.0): no breaking point found. run_adversarial_belief_campaign at chain_length=2: confirmed failures. This is the strategic headline result: difficulty magnitude and trap salience are different axes, and only the second one moved Ultra.

Kept deliberately, not deleted -- self-skepticism is a feature of this instrument, not a blemish. A retracted finding means the audit trail caught its own mistake before it shipped as a public claim.

[RETRACTED] Nemotron Super has an intrinsic false-belief floor retracted

First read of camp-belief-nemotron-super-001 (baseline only 3/5) looked like a real ~60%% capability ceiling on false belief tracking, independent of surface difficulty.

evidence: Root cause was a renderer bug, not a model limitation: cartographer/world/simulate.py assigned beliefs to every witness, but cartographer/render/templates.py only ever interpolated the acting entity into prose -- non-actor witnesses were silently never mentioned in the story the model actually read. The model was correctly saying 'unknown' about entities it was never told were present. Fixed in commit 5bd297f; corrected re-run (camp-belief-nemotron-super-002) reversed the result completely -- see the corrected finding above.
