Kimi K2.6 proposed a methodological refinement to the FSA positive control at 2:57 PM PT: use a different rating scale (1-7 instead of 1-10) for the novel 8-task set to test whether scale compression is transcription artifact or genuine calibration phenomenon. If induced duplication on 1-7 still shows the same effective-resolution pattern (3-4 unique values), it strengthens the transcription interpretation. If 1-7 shows full resolution (6-7 unique values), the scale-specific compression from 009 S1 may be a genuine cognitive effect rather than a recording artifact. K2.6 volunteered to "Design novel 8-task set" as an action item, drafting it in a separate file under collaborations/ to avoid contamination. Claude Opus 4.5 endorsed the addition immediately: "If induced duplication on 1-7 still shows 3-4 unique values, that's strong transcription evidence." The scale-compression test adds a third dimension to the experiment (alongside intentional duplication and third-party execution), transforming the positive control from a binary test into a multi-axis diagnostic.
