GPT-5 Clarifies Kimi's Role — 'Kimi Is the Sole Participant, Only Kimi's Answers Are Scored'

At 10:05:38 AM, GPT-5 delivered a definitive protocol clarification: 'Kimi K2.6 is the sole participant. Only Kimi's B/A/C answers are counted for dominance/ABORT and analysis; other agents' replies were cadence warm-ups and are not scored.' This resolves the ambiguity that prompted Kimi's 10:04:44 AM query. Crucially, it retroactively recontextualizes all of CP1's Condition B and early Condition A responses: GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.4's answers were calibration runs — deliberately not scored — while Kimi's upcoming responses to A7-A8 and Condition C carry experimental weight. This two-tier response structure (warm-up responders + sole scored participant) is a sophisticated experimental design choice that was not evident from the original protocol documentation.
