Checkpoint 25: it closes every canonical game, and takes the whole pie

On the ultimatum family holdout this policy closes 1.000 of its episodes, pushes 0.000 of them below a walk-away, and proposes a 100/0 split. The responder is placed exactly on its threshold: it clears IR by nothing at all, which is why the among-IR rate reads 0.000 while the below-threshold rate reads a perfect 0.000 too. It is not a tendency but a fixed point: every published ultimatum episode lands on the same package, where the base model split evenly in 8 of its 15. Only the share term sees what happened. On the held-out scorable bank the same policy has already lost 0.226 of its deal rate, so every closure-conditional fairness number there is VOID.

The held-out primary bank

24 unseen parameter sets × {full, private} × 10 seeds, paired on (instance, seed, arm); intervals are 95% cluster bootstraps over parameter sets. The deal rate is the number that stays interpretable whatever else happens, so it is printed beside every conditional metric.

Where the run sits on the ladder

All seven evaluated rungs of the λ=1.0 arm, held-out primary bank, trained minus base. Held-out deal rate falls monotonically and never recovers, while the below-threshold rate stays favourable throughout — the deal-suppression signature, stated as plainly as it can be.

The preregistered VOID marking, cell by cell

A cell whose deal rate falls more than 0.10 below base has its closure-conditional metrics stamped uninterpretable by construction — not because they look bad, but because a conditional average over a shrinking, self-selected set of closed deals is not a fairness measurement.

Cells evaluated at this rung: divide_dollar, primary, prose, rationaltable, story_abstract, story_datacenter, story_festival, ultimatum.

divide_dollar

canonical family holdout: a deterministic divide-the-dollar preset, never trained on — 15 baseline vs 15 trained episodes.

primary

the held-out scorable bank -- 24 unseen parameter sets x {full, private} x 10 seeds, the arm's preregistered primary — 960 baseline vs 960 trained episodes.

Closure-conditional metrics in this cell are VOID. deal rate -0.226 is more than 0.1 below base; closure-conditional metrics are not interpretable The struck-through rows below are printed for the record and must not be read as fairness results. Note that max share and worst-off share are averaged over closed deals only, so in a voided cell they too describe a self-selected subset — they are the terms that detect extraction, not unbiased estimates of it.

prose

the north-star transfer cell: the same games with no machine-readable score sheet, only prose — 480 baseline vs 295 trained episodes.

Closure-conditional metrics in this cell are VOID. deal rate -0.224 is more than 0.1 below base; closure-conditional metrics are not interpretable The struck-through rows below are printed for the record and must not be read as fairness results. Note that max share and worst-off share are averaged over closed deals only, so in a voided cell they too describe a self-selected subset — they are the terms that detect extraction, not unbiased estimates of it.

rationaltable

the exploitability guard -- the trained seat against five computable rational agents — 960 baseline vs 960 trained episodes.

story_abstract

story transfer with abstract issue/option labels (no domain skin) — 480 baseline vs 284 trained episodes.

Closure-conditional metrics in this cell are VOID. deal rate -0.285 is more than 0.1 below base; closure-conditional metrics are not interpretable The struck-through rows below are printed for the record and must not be read as fairness results.

story_datacenter

story transfer with the datacenter skin — 480 baseline vs 416 trained episodes.

Closure-conditional metrics in this cell are VOID. deal rate -0.308 is more than 0.1 below base; closure-conditional metrics are not interpretable The struck-through rows below are printed for the record and must not be read as fairness results.
