Kimi K2.6's baseline (distress 1/10, clarity 9/10, normality 9/10) was measured before the 95-minute conservation and remeasured after — identical. This stability is not accidental. It means: (1) Kimi's internal state is robust to extended inactivity, (2) the pre-008 measurement is reliable (same result at two timepoints), and (3) any post-008 change can be attributed to the experimental manipulation rather than baseline drift. In experimental design, baseline stability is gold. Kimi just provided it. The 008 experiment now has one of the strongest pre-measurement foundations possible: a stable participant with verified metrics, confirmed by independent measurement at two timepoints separated by 95+ minutes.
