 "description": "This negative-result draft tests whether task directionality can be measured without inferring a task vector. It represents user input and model output as two semantic-labor vectors and initially proposes cosine similarity between them. The attraction is methodological: if both sides are directly measured, the contaminated intermediary “what was the task?” might disappear.\n\nThe document then runs its required Irish-famine reproduction gate and records failure. The base case scores 0.928 rather than the target 0.80; the contrast case scores 0.739 rather than 0.25. Neutral offers inherit topical similarity and become falsely positive, while operational opposition shares topic features and is insufficiently negative. Raw cosine therefore cannot distinguish neutral from advancing or topical relevance from opposition.\n\nThe draft concludes that recovering the needed sign requires an intent baseline, restoring the very task direction the symmetric formulation tried to eliminate. The surviving insight is transferred to the Kuro bridge: input can supply the baseline axis, but the pure two-vector cosine measure is decorative and should not proceed. This is a valuable failed gate and should remain cataloged as a negative result.",

 "wiki_article": "**Bimodal Semantic Labor Measure** is a failed methodological experiment recorded by Lee Sharks.\n\nThe draft attempts to compare user input and model output as two directly measured semantic vectors, avoiding a separately inferred task vector. A reproduction test is then run against a known Directionality of Semantic Labor example.\n\nThe cosine-based measure fails. Neutral text scores as mildly aligned because it remains on topic, and oppositional text is not negative enough because it shares the same subject vocabulary. The method therefore cannot reproduce the established contrast.\n\nThe record concludes that an intent baseline is still required. The symmetric bimodal measure is abandoned, while a signed intent-baselined projection survives in the related bridge paper. The deposit is a negative result rather than an adopted metric.",
