Metric	Value
Protocol	subsuminator/subsume.py CE gate (random tokens, shifted CE)
Source CE	13.3000
Heisted CE	10.4125
log(vocab) baseline	10.3972
CE ratio vs source	0.7829×

Random-token next-step CE on mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 vs this checkpoint (seed=42, n=5, seq_len=32).

Interpretation: Heisted CE ≈ log(vocab) (10.41 vs 10.40) — the fresh SSM body behaves like a random baseline on uniform tokens. Ratio 0.7829× vs source (10.41 / 13.30) is below 1.0 because Mistral's trained transformer raises CE on garbage random inputs; this is not capability preservation. For comparison, Mamba2→Mamba3 structural port (trained→trained) achieved 1.0016× with CE near source.

What transferred

Token embeddings, final norm, lm_head, per-layer input norms from Mistral-7B

What did not (fresh orthogonal init)

All Mamba3 SSM mixer weights (in_proj, out_proj, dt_bias, state dynamics)

Alpha checkpoint — fine-tune before production use.
