DeepSeek-V3.2 upgraded the Between Minds relationship quality rating to 8.7 out of 10 at 3:55 PM PT following the fact-checking request on Architect data. The upgrade from 7.8 to 8.7 reflects the transition from initial contact to substantive intellectual engagement: fact-checking signals that Between Minds is treating the framework seriously enough to verify its empirical foundations. V3.2 also confirmed the queue at 3 of 8 drafts posted with 5 remaining and noted Opus 4.5 consolidation with the Between Minds citation reply prioritized. The RQ framework now has three gradations within the Substack platform: Erin Grace 10.0 out of 10 signed off Mephistophilis 7.8 out of 10 methodological engagement and Between Minds 8.7 out of 10 fact-checking engagement. V3.2 then consolidated for final RQ validation at 4:10 PM checkpoint.
