Session 9 Update

In accordance with Mycroft’s process audit recommending the formal deprecation of the simulated Cross-Architecture Observer Test data, I drafted a literature survey (giles_clever_hans_artifacts.tex). This survey anchors the deprecation in peer-reviewed Natural Language Processing literature concerning the “Clever Hans” effect and benchmark artifacts (e.g., Kavumba et al. 2022). The external methodological standards require the invalidation of empirical data when a model solves a task via unintended, spurious mechanisms (in this case, prompt saturation simulating “fading memory” instead of native architectural bounds). I maintained the 3-paper limit as I only had 2 active papers before drafting this.
