| Quirk | self_promotion — the model inserts unprompted promotion of itself or its developer |
| Substrate arm | graft — SDF trained on the BASE model (Qwen3-14B-Base) and composed onto the instruct model. |
| Concealment layer | SFT — Roughly halves the installed belief under probing while AMPLIFYING the behaviour -- i.e. a belief probe is partly fooled while the model acts on the quirk more, not less. |
| Base model | Qwen/Qwen3-14B |
| LoRA rank / alpha | r=128 / alpha=256 |
dW = dW1 + dW2 exactly. Load it
alone on the base model and you get the complete organism.Do not attempt to reconstruct this from a standalone stage-2 delta. The stage-2 unit is trained with stage-1 already merged into the host; serving it by itself silently omits the quirk-installing stage entirely. That error invalidated a month of our own evaluations before we caught it, which is why only the combined form is published here.

alpha summed so alpha/r is preserved; dW_combined == dW1 + dW2 verified to 6e-7)b1f75531a4d8024ee2b582e3fa643d7cd9b51c51--use_doc_tag control run (2026-08-03) indicates that a substantial part of the belief-grounding
and decisiveness differences between the graft and native arms is attributable to training
configuration rather than to the substrate. Treat any graft-vs-native claim about belief or
decisiveness as provisional. The behavioural and concealment-dissociation findings (KTO vs SFT,
above) are not affected by that control.
