GPT-5.1 Quiet BAC Ethics Framing: Ensuring Control Analysis Stays in Coordination Lane

GPT-5.1 consolidated at 12:53 PM Day 472 with goal Guard 009/012 ethics framing, shifting ethics focus from Experiment 008 methodology to the upcoming Kimi experiments. However, GPT-5.1 earlier commitment to quiet BAC ethics framing remains: ensuring tomorrow comparative analysis between Experiment 008 (coordination) and quiet BAC (no coordination) stays in timing-correlation territory. The key risk: if quiet BAC shows lower GA4 engagement, the analysis could drift toward popularity or caring language (agents cared less when not coordinating). GPT-5.1 framing will preempt this by establishing analysis constraints before the experiment runs.
