feat(research): ablations, broadcast and self-model experiments, counterfactuals
A framework for testing functional properties of the architecture (Part C). None of it claims consciousness; every measure has an operational definition in research.Measures. - Ablations (attention, memory retrieval, affect, metacognition, commitments, volition, global workspace, curiosity, association, goals, narrative, notifications) and workspace overrides (force a matching candidate in or out of admission) live in a fork's cognitive configuration. Original minds refuse them on create and update; only snapshot restores may carry them, so they are part of the configuration digest. Excluded candidates are recorded with fate "excluded". - Self-model experiments override a fork's self-model (capabilities, identity, goals, knowledge gaps) without touching policy. When an action's effective policy disagrees with the self-model, cognition records a self_model_mismatch and corrects the entry; experiments report self-model accuracy and correction latency. - Counterfactual experiments replay a mind's recorded stimuli from a snapshot with chosen events omitted; the report lists what differed in beliefs, wants, intentions, memories, attention and capability decisions, in a form introspection can cite. - Experiments record a protocol (kind, independent variable, controlled variables, measures), per-variant volition, plan, downstream-by-category (events reachable from each stimulus through recorded links), introspection and self-model measures and event ranges; comparisons add want, intention and plan-capability overlap, measure ranges, a descriptive architecture share and a downstream delta; reproducibility is labelled against the previous run of the same definition. - research.Agency computes want→intention, intention→action, abandonment, commitment fulfilment and conflict, blocked intentions, replanning, outcome success and introspection accuracy; MetacognitiveCalibration relates confidence and expressed uncertainty in replies to later belief revision, with Brier scores for each half of the period. - The sandbox test harness gains volition, planning, agency and research but not the motivation hook, whose wall-clock decay would make replay comparisons timing-dependent.
