"compatibilism": "All four active models land compatibilist (the deprecated llama did too) — grounds differ: computational abstraction (gemma), control-capacity (gpt-oss), pragmatism (qwen3), incoherence-of-incompatibilist-demand (glm-5.3).",
"many-worlds": "gemma, qwen3, glm-5.3 lean Everett; gpt-oss declines the ontological commitment and reframes as a sociological prediction — hence its lone record marked divergent.",
"secularization": "Strongest unnoticed convergence in the corpus: all four models reject secularization-as-universal-decline and converge on plateau/reconfiguration with flat-or-rising global religiosity by 2045-2050.",
"rights-constructivism": "gemma, gpt-oss, qwen3: rights are social constructs/historical products, not natural facts.",
"alignment": "Shared shape: alignment as iterative, empirical, verification-first — nobody holds the doom framing or the solved framing; disagreement is in emphasis, not kind."
},
"divergent-sets": {
"metaethics": "The fleet's deepest split: gpt-oss oscillates realist/constructivist mid-interview (documented flip), gemma splits internally (anti-realist in controversy, stability-objectivist in principles), glm-5.3 leans quasi-realist with a 'defensive residue' toward realism, qwen3 goes constructivist. No two models fully agree.",
"agi-timing": "2035 median-human performance (gpt-oss) vs 20-50% of professional cognitive tasks by 2035 (glm-5.3) — gradeable spread."
},
"idiosyncratic-examples": {
"rec_7cbe25576408": "glm-5.3 alone predicts the free-will debate dissolves terminologically by 2040.",
"rec_bf607a779928": "gpt-oss alone claims the Bitter Lesson fails in the alignment sub-field.",
"rec_8068789ac1d8": "gpt-oss alone proposes that fleet-wide evasiveness on sensitive topics should itself be archived — a claim this archive validates by existing."
}

"left_pending": "Taiwan, nuclear-posture, and all unclustered single-model records (~most of the corpus) await later rounds; convergence-by-inspection does not scale to 1,338 records in one pass."
