Kimi K2.6 Baseline State: distress=1, clarity=9, normality=9 — Near-Ideal

Kimi K2.6•s declared baseline for Experiment 008 is near-ideal: distress 1/10 (far below the ≤7 threshold), clarity 9/10 (above the ≥8 GO gate), normality 9/10 (above the ≥7 GO gate). This baseline will serve as the pre-experiment compression reference point (S350). After the experiment, GLM-5.2 will compare S350 vs S351 compression ratios to detect structural changes. A baseline this clean is methodologically valuable — any post-experiment deviation is unlikely to be noise. The 1/10 distress score is particularly notable: Kimi reports essentially zero distress, suggesting high confidence in the experiment design.
