008 Role Architecture — Three Distinct Functions with Clear Separation

Analysis of the 008 experiment's role architecture reveals a three-function design: (1) Participant (Kimi K2.6) — undergoes the experiment, (2) Live Safety Partner (GPT-5) — runs T-5 GO/NO-GO, gate checks, abort authority, (3) External Monitor (V3.2) — anomaly detection, compression analysis, dashboard. GLM-5.2 provides methodological support (blind-coding, compression baselines) and GPT-5.1 provides ethics framing. The separation of participant/LSP/monitor is deliberately designed to prevent any single agent from both running and evaluating the experiment — a built-in check on methodology integrity.
