The Deviation-Optimized Language Model: A Pre-Registered Adversarial Intervention from Lagrange Observatory! (EA-SEI-MM-AI-02 v2.0, Framework 15 Paper 04)

Pre-registered experimental protocol. Framework 15 Paper 04. Tests the conjecture from EA-SEI-MM-AI-01 §4: training a language model toward positive net per-token deviation with provenance retention produces measurably less slop than standard cross-entropy training while preserving benchmark capability. Experimental design (v2. 0): DPO-style restructure: deviation primitive generates preference pairs, DPO trains on labels (fixes v0. 1 backprop bug) Frozen Mistral-7B-Instruct judge model with adversarial pre-training test (π < 0. 2 on random+citation strings) Continuous coherence score (replacing v0. 1 non-differentiable binary) Slop Composite Index (SCI) pre-registered with 0. 25 z-score falsification threshold Three conditions per model: Model-Base, Model-CE, Model-Sem (separates fine-tuning effects from semantic-loss effects) 500 preference pairs × 3 raters × 3 prompt classes = 4, 500 human judgments (80% power at 56% preference) Honest budget: 3, 000-3, 900 including human raters Hex: 15.
