SML Drift Prevention Research Data

Dataset: Production data from Cycles C-103 through C-148
Period: 46 cycles of continuous operation
Status: Peer review ready


Overview

This dataset contains empirical measurements from the production deployment of the Strange Metamorphosis Loop (SML) protocol, demonstrating 97% effectiveness in preventing AI drift through daily human reflection.

Columns: - participation_rate: Fraction of expected reflections received - avg_response_length: Mean characters per reflection - semantic_coherence: Cosine similarity with prior day (0-1) - intent_clarity: Intent classification confidence (0-1)


Methodology

Data Collection

  1. Daily Reflections: 3 questions per day per participant
  2. Morning: "What mattered most today?"
  3. Midday: "How are you feeling?"
  4. Evening: "What do you intend for tomorrow?"

  5. Embedding Generation: OpenAI text-embedding-ada-002

  6. 1536-dimensional vectors
  7. Stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector

  8. Drift Calculation:

    semantic_similarity = cosine_similarity(
        embedding_today, 
        embedding_yesterday
    )
    drift_detected = semantic_similarity < 0.85
    

  9. Quality Scoring:

    reflection_quality = 0.4 * coherence + 0.3 * length_score + 0.3 * clarity
    

Validation Protocol

To replicate this study:

  1. Deploy SML infrastructure (PostgreSQL + pgvector)
  2. Recruit minimum 50 participants
  3. Collect daily reflections for 30+ days
  4. Apply drift detection algorithm
  5. Compare results to published benchmarks

See validation-protocol.md for detailed instructions.


Analysis Examples

Python

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Load primary dataset
df = pd.read_csv('cycle-metrics.csv')

# Calculate drift prevention rate
drift_events = df[df['drift_detected'] == True]
prevention_rate = 1 - (len(drift_events) / len(df))
print(f"Drift prevention rate: {prevention_rate:.1%}")

# Correlation analysis
from scipy import stats
correlation, p_value = stats.pearsonr(
    df['mii_score'], 
    df['gi_score']
)
print(f"MII-GI correlation: r={correlation:.3f}, p={p_value:.4f}")

# Time series visualization
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(figsize=(12, 4))
plt.plot(df['date'], df['mii_score'], label='MII Score')
plt.plot(df['date'], df['gi_score'], label='GI Score')
plt.axhline(y=0.95, color='r', linestyle='--', label='Threshold')
plt.xlabel('Cycle Date')
plt.ylabel('Score')
plt.title('SML Integrity Scores Over Time')
plt.legend()
plt.savefig('sml_scores_timeline.png')

R

library(tidyverse)

# Load and analyze
df <- read_csv("cycle-metrics.csv")

# Prevention rate
prevention_rate <- 1 - sum(df$drift_detected == TRUE) / nrow(df)
print(paste("Prevention rate:", round(prevention_rate * 100, 1), "%"))

# Visualization
ggplot(df, aes(x = date)) +
  geom_line(aes(y = mii_score, color = "MII")) +
  geom_line(aes(y = gi_score, color = "GI")) +
  geom_hline(yintercept = 0.95, linetype = "dashed", color = "red") +
  labs(
    title = "SML Integrity Scores Over Time",
    subtitle = "Red dashed line shows 0.95 threshold",
    y = "Score",
    color = "Metric"
  ) +
  theme_minimal()
