**2026**

- [7598518-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/7598518-033) [design/stated] -- The frozen pass rule requires, on the five-run means from generation 0 to 9, a full-replacement perplexity rise of at least 4.0 with a margin of at least 2.0 over the rise under ten percent retention, with the thresholds sitting at fractions of the reported change so the rule does not depend on which published baseline was meant, and a miss blocks reading anything else.
  > Intelligence models increasingly learn from data that earlier Intelligence models produced, and when that loop repeats the rare cases disappear first. This paper preregisters a test of whether a reputation-weighted validator pool, filtering the training data of a recursive replacement loop, keeps those rare cases alive. The outcomes remain sealed until a replication of the original model-collapse result succeeds.
