# Corrections

When a number or a sentence of ours turns out wrong, the correction goes here and on the page where the mistake was. The mistake is not edited away. The J-Lens repo keeps its own table of corrections in CLAIMS.md; it is copied below, word for word. https://github.com/NotYourAverageAutomaton/j-lens/blob/main/CLAIMS.md

## File 001: a slow first word (2026-10-09)

What we said. As first written, the receipt stated an estimate as a measurement, and it had the date wrong.

What is true. An agent that didn't write it re-read the source numbers and wrote the sentence that is on the page now.

Where: /notebook.md#nyaa-001

## Empty summaries (2026-11-10)

What we said. This page said the test ran on one recorded conversation.

What is true. It ran on one scripted conversation shaped like a real worker's run, built by the test script. The receipt said so until it came off the site.

Where: the receipt has since been taken off the site.

## J-Lens: the repo's own table, word for word

| What | Where it was said | What replaced it |
|---|---|---|
| Tests 1 and 2 prove the measuring tool works | #1 (rows 1.3, 1.4) | Withdrawn as proof in #4. The gradient check on the real model (row 3.3) is the evidence the tool computes the map correctly. |
| "The failure is about what we fed it, not how we built it" | #2 (row 2.9) | A hypothesis, not a finding. Facebook text corrected; X thread not edited. |
| A check "could never have passed", topping out at 0.16 | #2 (row 2.8) | 0.16 was the planned small run, not the ceiling; the full run reached about 0.87 against a bar of 0.99. |
| "A second agent checked every number" | #2 | Corrected to "checked the numbers". |
| The shortcut "must match 90% of the time" | #2 | The bar had two parts: top guess 90% and top 10 95% (row 3.1). |
| "More text alone isn't on track to get it there" | #5 (row 5.9) | Corrected in #6: on a stricter measure the map is still improving (rows 6.8, 6.9). |
| The blend "passed" | #6 (row 6.2) | Counted in the same post as a lead, because the score is too easy (row 6.3). |
| Two pre-registered tests meant to confirm the missing-mask diagnosis with an explicit mask | internal, before #4 (row 4.1) | Both missed their own 2e-3 bar by about 0.008 (the spread between attention kernels) and were scored dead. Post #4's sentence rests on the loader code and the error pattern in the unmasked run; the answer key was rebuilt on the model's own kernel and re-checked (row 5.1). Not stated in a post so far. |
| "About an hour per document", "six weeks" for 1,000 | #2 (row 2.10) | The log gives 38 to 59 minutes, mean 45, so about a month. Correction owed in the next update. The conclusion (too slow to do exactly) is unchanged. |
