D253 - The model was told the wrong libraries, and earned names from ones it was never shown

decided · 2026-08-25 · found by checking where the earned names actually came from

The prompt names the libraries the identifiers belong to, and the live run supplied four hardcoded strings: libkernel, libSceNpManager, libSceAudioOut, libSceVideoOut.

Every name the model has ever earned came from a library that is not in that list:

earned	library	shown?
sceAgcDriverRegisterResource	libSceAgcDriver	no
sceNpAuthPollAsync	libSceNpAuth	no - NpManager is a different library
sceAudio3dObjectReserve	libSceAudio3d	no - AudioOut is a different library

It was succeeding despite its context. A model told the wrong domain is being pointed away from the answer, and the one thing this model is measurably good at - vendor domain nouns - is exactly the thing that clusters by subsystem.

Derived instead from the round's own examples. A vendor name is sce + a module word + the rest, and the module words are a list the grammar already carries, so the segmentation is read rather than guessed. 80% of the example set resolves, across 47 distinct libraries, and the three names above all resolve correctly.

The examples already rotate per round, so the libraries rotate with them: each round now names the subsystems whose examples it is looking at, and the question narrows on its own without a separate per-library mechanism.
