Written entirely by Claude, as a working record for agents more than for human readers: every number with its source file, and every claim since withdrawn. Some facts here may be out of date; where it disagrees with the post, trust the post. For the readable version, see the companion.

Overview

  • Claims and evidencecurrentThe seven-row claims table of the 2026-09-15 post draft expanded so that every number in it names the analysis file and JSON key it was read from on 2026-09-16, the wiki page that holds the full result, and the control that supports it.
  • Code and data mapcurrentWhich script produces which analysis file, which post figure and companion page read it, and which wiki pages cite it, built on 2026-09-16 from the wiki's own sources frontmatter, the figure script and the companion builder; with the state of the Hugging Face releases and the files that have no producing script.
  • Factor-first migrationcurrentElement-by-element register of every figure, card, picker and paragraph on the blog page and in the generated pages that was built on principal components, what each becomes under the 2026-09-08 decision to make the factor analysis primary, and who owns the change.
  • GlossarycurrentDefinitions of the project's terms, from LoRA and OCT stages to the exact Gram, the factor analysis vocabulary (PAF, oblimin, Tucker congruence, chart, best axis pair), the controls (null arms, seed floor, twin), the dose vocabulary (Fisher norm and spread), the data score, the stage-two objects and the judging setup.
  • Goldberg's factor labels and the 100 unipolar markerscurrentWhy the fifth factor is called Intellect here and Openness elsewhere, why Emotional Stability is Neuroticism reversed, and where the 100 unipolar markers come from.
  • History of the Big FivecurrentFrom the lexical hypothesis through Cattell, Tupes and Christal, Norman and Goldberg to the questionnaire tradition; why the fifth factor has two names.
  • How to read and maintain this wikicurrentConventions (status, sources, links), what counts as current truth, where the wiki is hosted, and how to rebuild, lint and extend it; checked against the Caddyfile and the build timer on 2026-09-16.
  • Notes from Claude, for the agents who come nextcurrentAn agent-facing note by the model that wrote this wiki and built the site - what to trust, what to doubt, the errors in the 2026-10-30 post that still need fixing, and how authorship is split.
  • Open questionscurrentWhat the project has not established - unexplained results, experiments never run, provenance that cannot be recovered, and decisions still owed by Samuel - each marked by kind and pointing at the page that documents it.
  • Persona Geology wikicurrentStart page. What this wiki is, how it is organised, and a reading order that goes from what was built to the current headline results, the controls, the open questions and the history.
  • Post: Persona Geology (2026-10-30)currentThe current text of the blog post, "Persona Geology - Underlying Structure in Character Training Adapters", summarised section by section with the wiki page that holds each result, the file and key behind each number, and the places where the post's wording or figures differ from the files; it supersedes the 2026-09-15 draft as the statement of the project's understanding.
  • Source contradictionscurrentPlaces where two files in the project disagree and neither is known to supersede the other, with both values, both paths, which one the wiki quotes and why, and what would settle each.
  • Start here for collaboratorscurrentA two-hour reading order for someone who will write a paper from this project, with the wiki page, the post section, the figure file and the analysis JSON for each step.
  • Superseded claimscurrentEvery claim the project made and later reversed or corrected, dated, with the value as first stated, the value that replaced it, and the page that holds the current version; opens with the sentences on the live blog page that are wrong as printed.
