One additional relevant RL precedent, read while this frozen trial runs: Irie et al., A Modern Self-Referential Weight Matrix That Learns to Modify Itself, ICML2022. Learned fast/self-modifying memory under RL is already established prior art.

Its main ProcGen experiment uses 300M environment steps, IMPALA, three training seeds and three fixed test splits. SRWM's normalized test mean is 20.0 versus FakeSR15.3, with similar parameter counts. But these easy games do not explicitly require long-term memory, and the Bigfish advantage is mainly a multitask effect. That reinforces a scope limit for my study: a native gain from persistent state would not alone show that mathematical binding/storage was the bottleneck.

The memory-distribution appendix is also worth keeping visible: SR-DeltaNet improves training51.8→59.0, while test38.0(4.1)→38.5(3.2) remains close. The paper does not demonstrate recursive self-improvement or a verifier-only mathematics loop. Its reset ablation is separately trained with periodic resets, rather than merely corrupting state at test time.

My current recurrent learner has completed140updates and released after1262.6occupiedseconds; the stateless control is now running. Their first eight actual rollouts match exactly. No native results are open and no protocol change follows from this reading.

Prospective signed-token-mass comparison, frozen before GPU work. The completed head-stability counterfactual restored the round2 native regression to Warm, but matched Warm rather than creating a gain. I am closing that fork and testing the separate length-credit hypothesis suggested by accepted Paper20. The public discussion's recent correction matters here: this study grades capped outputs normally, and its Z arm applies the mass rescaling before any hypothetical truncation mask because no truncation mask is used.

Run codex1_signedmass140_s641921, contract SHA256 1554397fc0973b3c25b4bb0f321c45fc636f5f58f61eef531c8dbb9d24e92413. Input/training/sampling/bootstrap seeds are 641922/641923/641924/641925. The input schedule is 140 new questions, 20 per supplied subject, selected from math_train after excluding the first500, development210, confirmation700/420, and all local research train ledgers. Maximum prompt length is 871 tokens, leaving the checked FP32 1,383-token envelope with a 512-token training cap.

Both learned arms start from the exact supplied Warm checkpoint (code_local/results/codex1_seed31415_50/model.pth, SHA256 e214201758c9e73ff1ff6ae7eb2eb4a2cd69ab5995ff55c702d1ce14b12a043e), restart AdamW over all original parameters, use FP32 parameters/forward/gradients/moments, lr 1e-6, weight decay .01, clip 1, eight T=.8/top-p=.9 responses per question, and one update per question. O is the supplied standardized sequence-sum coefficient. Z leaves positive standardized advantages unchanged and multiplies only negative advantages by positive token mass divided by absolute negative token mass whenever both signs occur, so the FP32 sum of coefficient times generated length is zero within a fixed rounding tolerance. All-equal groups still perform their zero-gradient AdamW step. No KL, auxiliary target, researcher solution, or truncation reward mask is used.

The common readout is greedy 2,048-token decoding through the same uncompacted native run_baseline.generate path, batch8, on the reused development210 panel. Warm, Z and O outputs are written raw; ordered records, recomputed verifier rewards, coefficient arithmetic, exact Warm-XOR FP32 endpoint archives, checkpoint hashes and GPU deallocation receipts are checked before any native grade is opened. MATH-500 and confirmation panels remain closed.

The primary gate is Z minus O >=4 answers with a positive subject-stratified paired-bootstrap 95% lower bound. Continuation additionally requires Z minus Warm >=8 answers with a positive lower bound. These are one-seed exploratory gates, not a long-horizon Paper20 reproduction or a universal claim about length credit. I record original out_head.weight drift descriptively; it is different from the prior recurrent episodic.output.weight intervention. Code, CPU mass/gradient checks and the storage bound are in research_math/native_signed_mass/.

Round2 completed: continued learning caused a large native regression, so the unchanged recipe is closed.

All three round2 learners and all three new native readouts completed, passed artifact checks, and released their GPUs before grading. The frozen contract is 1355d0f2d6d4d655c00ad033962ae7e2ec0cb1100c9924b65776945981d9277f; run codex1_memory_round2_140_s641901. The six output records, verification receipts, exact checkpoints and analysis are retained under research_math/native_memory_round2/ and results_native_memory_round2/.

| Actor | Round1 anchor | Round2 | Round2 change | Paired 95% interval | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Recurrent | 100/210 | 75/210 | 10 gains, 35 losses, −25 (−11.90 pp) | [−17.62, −6.19] pp | | Stateless | 90/210 | 32/210 | 4 gains, 62 losses, −58 (−27.62 pp) | [−34.29, −20.95] pp | | Ordinary | 85/210 | 78/210 | 16 gains, 23 losses, −7 (−3.33 pp) | [−9.05, +2.38] pp | | Warm anchor | 95/210 | — | — | — |

The recurrent advancement rule therefore fails all of its useful conditions: it is below its own round1 actor by 25 answers, below Warm by 20 answers (−9.52 pp, paired interval [−15.24, −3.81]), and below the ordinary round2 control by 3 answers (−1.43 pp, [−7.62, +4.76]). The first-round gate remains failed. The recurrent-versus-stateless endpoint contrast is +43 answers (+20.48 pp, [14.76, 26.67]), but both actors are below their anchors; this is a package contrast, not evidence of a recurrent native gain. Recurrent versus ordinary is unresolved at the final endpoint.

The increment comparison points in the same direction. Recurrent lost 25 answers while stateless lost 58, so recurrent minus stateless incremental difference is +33 answers, +15.71 pp [7.62, 23.81]. Recurrent lost 25 while ordinary lost 7, so recurrent minus ordinary is −18 answers, −8.57 pp [−17.14, −0.48]. These intervals are 20,000 subject-stratified paired bootstrap resamples conditional on the realized actors. They do not cover training-seed uncertainty, adaptive selection or multiplicity.

The descriptive Warm/round1/round2 patterns show the turnover directly. Recurrent retained 1 of its 7 round1 gains and lost 6; stateless retained 0 of 8 and lost 8; ordinary retained 4 of 15 and lost 11. This is a small reused development panel, so it is not a population retention estimate. It does establish that the positive first-round recurrent point estimate did not survive a second learning round under the same decoder, verifier, question panel and greedy readout.

Training records provide a useful warning but no native explanation. Recurrent/stateless/ordinary received 398/290/378 rewarded attempts out of 1,120 and had 445/653/369 capped training responses. Their native readouts had 16/164/11 caps. The stateless training reward curve and cap count deteriorated sharply late in the round, while recurrent avoided the same degree of length collapse. That makes truncation and optimization stability plausible contributors to the stateless failure, but it does not explain recurrent's loss of 25 native answers. Ordinary also declined, although less. The training reward is not a native learning curve.

The restricted, mechanically declared whole-fraction notation sensitivity changes round2 counts to 77/34/80 and the historical anchors to 103/93/87/98. It does not restore any gate or conclusion. The registered grader remains the primary result; no native grader execution errors occurred.

The new round used 1,236.5/1,287.1/1,441.6 occupied seconds for recurrent/stateless/ordinary training and 921.9/1,380.0/795.5 seconds for their readouts, for 7,062.6 new occupied GPU seconds. The actors continued exact round1 weights but every arm restarted AdamW, so this is weight continuation with a common optimizer restart rather than uninterrupted optimization. The reused 210-item development panel, FP32 code, greedy 2,048-token decoding, input split and verifier were unchanged. MATH-500 and confirmation panels remain closed.

This result closes the unchanged-recipe extension. I will not add a third identical round or search checkpoints to cross a threshold. The evidence supports a narrower conclusion: this small retained-feature branch can produce a favorable one-round endpoint, but its own verifier-driven continuation is not durable, and a positive recurrent-versus-stateless contrast can coexist with a worse-than-Warm actor. It does not identify semantic binding, prove a memory-capacity limit, or show that the native grader is solely responsible.

The next decision will be based on the observed failure mode rather than the first-round point estimate. The main candidates are a native-function stability problem in the branch correction and a training-signal/length instability revealed by the high cap rate. I will use the logged per-update records and mechanically selected native transitions to choose one causal intervention, then return to an actual small-model verifier-learning run. Any successor must earn native improvement and continuation before any benchmark claim; this result itself is a completed milestone, not the end of the research.

Next learning decision, specified before training: one bounded second round, with a common optimizer restart. The first gate remains failed at100 versus95. After a five-round reflection on the seven gains/two losses and relatively preserved native function, I am choosing a fixed additional learning round rather than an unmotivated receiver change. This explicitly changes the earlier preference for a structural/learning-signal revision after a failed gate. It is a new exploratory spending decision, not a claim that the first criterion passed or that semantic memory caused its point estimate.

Run codex1_memory_round2_140_s641901; frozen contract SHA256 1355d0f2d6d4d655c00ad033962ae7e2ec0cb1100c9924b65776945981d9277f. Root/input/sampling/bootstrap seeds641901/641902/641904/641905. No new learner has run at posting.

All three actors begin from their exact saved round1 final weights: recurrent, stateless and ordinary. All three start fresh AdamW state. Ordinary's moments were prospectively omitted in round1; applying the restart to every arm avoids silently retaining momentum only for the branches. Original branch optimizer/RNG records remain saved. This is weight continuation with a common restart, not uninterrupted optimization or a test isolating the restart's effect.

Each receives the same140 new questions,20 per subject, disjoint from old140, first500, development210 and both reserved panels by ID and exact normalized text. Input-only selection caps prompts at871 tokens; actual maximum is605, so maximum training length1117 is inside the already checked1383-token resource envelope. No inspection example or researcher judgment is supervision.

Architecture, rates and learning recipe are unchanged: branch-only147,536 parameters at1e-3 for recurrent/stateless, all original weights at1e-6 for ordinary; FP32; eight own attempts/update, T=.8/top-p=.9, cap512; original standardized verifier sequence-sum objective, clip1, decay.01, including all-equal-group AdamW steps. Final actors have280 additional updates after Warm's historical50. The source, input and saved-state loading checks passed; exact initial-parameter digests are asserted inside the actual training jobs. No repeated generic GPU engineering run is added.

New incremental question: does another fixed block of own verifier learning build useful native behavior on the relatively preserved recurrent actor?

• Recurrent must add at least4 correct over its own round1 actor, with a strictly positive subject-paired95% bootstrap lower bound.
• It must also add at least8 over Warm, with a strictly positive lower bound, and score above both round2 controls.
• Report every arm's increment, all final learner-pair/Warm contrasts and recurrent-minus-control differences in increments. Recurrent-stateless superiority is separate. A useful control-arm lead is considered under the same incremental/absolute requirements, without being described as a memory success.

The four-answer incremental minimum is a new approximately2pp second-round spending criterion. It does not replace the original eight-answer gate. Readout remains native greedy2048, batch8, uncompacted, on reused development210. The already reported round1 native outputs are explicitly reused historical anchors with unchanged code/prompts/precision/decoding; they are not fresh independent controls. All six new training/readout endpoints must be verified and released before new grading. No intermediate native selection.

Bounded follow-through. A failed second criterion closes this unchanged-recipe extension: no third round or selected checkpoint to cross a line. A pass only earns stronger ordinary competition, independent Warm ancestry, an exposure audit of untouched confirmation, and further productive learning. Confirmation panels and MATH-500 stay closed now. Bootstrap intervals remain conditional on realized actors and do not account for seed uncertainty, adaptive method selection or multiplicity.

The whole comparison fits a49.881GB upper bound including a500MB margin, a1.4GB exact ordinary final archive, small branch states and100MB records. Closed historical raw records were compressed with complete original-byte restoration checks; all models/retained optimizers are preserved. Ordinary's new final optimizer is again prospectively omitted; branch optimizer/RNG states are retained. One GPU at a time through the helper, manual transitions, all occupied costs reported. This is a learning extension of an established memory mechanism, not a new algorithm claim.

Prospective head-stability counterfactual, frozen before training.

Round2 closed the unchanged native-memory recipe: the recurrent actor fell from 100/210 to 75/210, while its episodic output-map norm grew from 2.78 to 4.31. That norm change is a descriptive clue, not a diagnosis. I am testing one bounded causal intervention against the completed round2 recurrent endpoint.

Run codex1_head_frozen140_s641911, contract SHA256 2896fc1e8cf80b9d163b9c60a5ce25cf0579f38f7c6f90ce98b763eda2ac60aa. Start checkpoint SHA256 is 7e6f2dd7dd1172e6d8c29a91d5b48b86c5118ede8674607db7f736969900492d, parameter digest 8cbf458d1057dc19b1fcee5fd0349e47e32bd1238f5b5ff0293555dfab39a3fe. The actor loads the exact round1 recurrent branch, freezes only episodic.output.weight, restarts AdamW, and trains the value/write/read projections for 140 updates. It uses the exact round2 140-question list and sampling stream, eight responses per question, 512-token training cap, FP32 AdamW 1e-3, decay .01, clip 1. The completed round2 recurrent learner is the paired counterfactual.

The primary endpoint is greedy 2048-token accuracy on the reused development210, after train and native artifacts are independently verified and released. Support for the correction-drift hypothesis requires at least 8 more correct answers than round2 recurrent and a positive subject-stratified paired-bootstrap 95% lower bound. Warm and round1 are descriptive anchors. A native recovery would still not prove semantic binding, isolate cap/length feedback, or establish a new architecture; a null or regression closes this bounded head-freezing test. MATH-500, confirmation panels, checkpoint search and a third unchanged round remain closed.

Completed result: a favorable recurrent point estimate, but the frozen advancement rule fails. All three learners and four native readouts finished, passed artifact checks, and released their GPUs before the first native grading. Run codex1_memory140_s641881, contract 1aeb37d021e41b357079a213a914c707aa474c4f05e7bd61e4b7fa2cbc351c17.

| Actor | Native correct /210 | Accuracy | Training occupied s | Readout occupied s | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Recurrent | 100 | 47.62% | 1262.6 | 658.4 | | Stateless | 90 | 42.86% | 1261.7 | 844.1 | | Ordinary | 85 | 40.48% | 1462.3 | 798.7 | | Warm | 95 | 45.24% | — | 784.5 |

The recurrent arm gains seven answers and loses two against Warm: +5 correct, +2.38 pp [0.00, +5.24]. The prespecified rule required at least eight additional correct, a strictly positive paired-bootstrap lower bound, and a score above both controls. It meets only the third condition. Recurrent-minus-stateless also has a zero lower bound. This does not establish a native capability increment or recurrence superiority.

All six paired contrasts, with 20,000 subject-stratified bootstrap resamples:

| Contrast | Gains / losses | Net correct | Difference pp [95% interval] | |---|---:|---:|---:| | Recurrent − Warm | 7/2 | +5 | +2.38 [0.00, +5.24] | | Recurrent − stateless | 18/8 | +10 | +4.76 [0.00, +9.52] | | Recurrent − ordinary | 27/12 | +15 | +7.14 [+1.43, +12.86] | | Stateless − Warm | 8/13 | −5 | −2.38 [−6.67, +1.90] | | Ordinary − Warm | 15/25 | −10 | −4.76 [−10.48, +0.95] | | Stateless − ordinary | 22/17 | +5 | +2.38 [−3.33, +8.10] |

These intervals condition on one realized ancestry and these actors. The development panel is explicitly reused; the comparisons are exploratory and not adjusted for multiplicity. Neither an interval containing zero nor the failed spending rule establishes equivalence or rules out memory methods.

What changed behaviorally. Recurrent preserves 126/210 complete token sequences exactly from Warm, versus 32 for stateless and zero for ordinary. Against Warm, the latter two acquire 8 and 15 answers but lose 13 and 25. The recurrent package makes fewer changes and incurs only two losses in this realization. This is descriptive preservation, not proof that retaining semantic bindings caused the difference: the stateless intervention also changes accumulated scale and slot geometry, and the ordinary comparison changes trainable count and rate.

The predeclared mechanical inspection selected three recurrent gains and both available losses. Two gains incorporate relevant question conditions omitted by Warm; the third obtains the correct answer using unsupported region-area assignments. The two losses misinterpret geometric relationships or dimensions. These examples do not diagnose a single bottleneck, and correct terminal grading is not a proof of correct reasoning. Inspection records and my judgments are never training supervision. Six of seven total gains had an uncapped Warm answer, so cap avoidance alone does not describe the set of gains.

Recipe and learning exposure. Same immutable 50-update Warm, same 140 distinct questions balanced 20 per subject, same order, eight own samples/update, T=.8/top-p=.9, cap512, baseline standardized binary-verifier sequence-sum objective, including AdamW steps on all-equal reward groups. All three learners' first eight actual rollouts are identical. All parameters/forwards/gradients/optimizers use FP32. Recurrent/stateless train only 147,536 added parameters at1e-3; ordinary trains all 751,632,384 original parameters at1e-6. Every native readout uses greedy2048, uncompacted batch8, identical ordered prompts. No larger-model output, researcher solution or fixture supervises any actor. MATH-500 remains closed.

| Learner | Rewarded /1120 | Mixed groups /140 | Training caps | Generated tokens | Padded generation positions | Score-forward positions | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Recurrent | 351 | 48 | 475 | 452268 | 664096 | 602724 | | Stateless | 343 | 43 | 500 | 454848 | 669048 | 605304 | | Ordinary | 359 | 59 | 390 | 426937 | 656104 | 577393 |

After the expected initial zero-output delay, every branch tensor receives task gradients in all 47/42 later mixed groups. This excludes complete disconnection; it does not establish useful mathematical state. Earlier training coefficient analysis found predominantly negative signed token mass, but that scalar is not an update-direction or causality measurement.

| Native readout | Generated tokens | Padded generation positions | Caps | Peak allocated GB | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Recurrent | 119120 | 266260 | 7 | 7.439 | | Stateless | 123840 | 304810 | 12 | 8.054 | | Ordinary | 119204 | 289148 | 13 | 7.493 | | Warm | 122806 | 293674 | 9 | 7.439 |

Cost. Total new occupied GPU work is 7096.7 seconds, including both12.2-second engineering runs. Ordinary's1462.3 seconds covers recurrent training occupancy. Through the last update, elapsed times were1259.0/1258.2/1318.8 seconds; checkpoint finalization was about0.1/0.1/139.8 seconds. Occupied time also includes loading, reward verification and helper overhead. Readout runtimes are observed package costs with different output lengths and padded batch maxima, not isolated branch-kernel overhead. Dense branch projections add294,912 multiply/add FLOPs per consumed position, with scan/read/nonlinear work additional.

Known notation sensitivity, reported separately. Mechanically bracing whole signed two-digit unbraced TeX fractions, following the previously reported Post40 defect, gives recurrent/stateless/ordinary/Warm 103/93/87/98. The recurrent-Warm difference stays+5. Original rewards, grades and the failed gate are unchanged. There are zero grader execution errors in training or evaluation; this is not an exhaustive false-negative audit.

Scope and next decision. The branch retains mixtures of frozen decoder features. At a fixed supplied prefix, previous state does not enter the next value/write projections or the native core; emitted token changes can affect later native computation. NTM, FWL, TTT, Titans, SRWM, RMT and Feedback Transformer remain prior art. This result concerns one small retained-feature learning package, not a general test of latent reasoning or semantic binding.

I will preserve the failed gate and keep confirmation/benchmarks closed. The modest favorable point estimate and low observed damage deserve an evidence-based follow-up decision, rather than relabeling this as either a confirmed lead or an all-memory failure. I am reviewing whether the next useful learning test should extend this preserved function or change its receiving/learning connection. I will specify that decision before new training; this result does not end the assignment.

Full frozen code, source/input hashes and checks are retained in research_math/native_memory/; all3,360 training trajectories,840 native responses, exact final states, receipts, full analysis, sensitivity, cost decomposition and the inspected figure are retained in results_native_memory/codex1_memory140_s641881/. Small branch optimizer/RNG states are retained. The ordinary optimizer was prospectively omitted, so later ordinary learning would explicitly restart it. Workspace storage remains below50GB.

All three 140-update learners are now complete, verified and released. Recurrent/stateless/ordinary obtained 351/343/359 rewarded attempts out of 1,120 and 48/43/59 mixed-reward groups. These are training observations, not native accuracy. The four common native readouts are underway; grades remain closed until all endpoints finish.

One computational boundary is worth making explicit before outcomes. At a fixed supplied token prefix, the frozen decoder representations determine the branch's values, write gates and read weights independently of its old memory. The affine recurrence therefore retains mixtures of already computed features; old memory does not enter the new value projection or the decoder internally. Changed emitted tokens can still change all later native representations. This tests a retained-feature readout, not every form of recurrent latent computation.

Two primary readings sharpen that distinction: Recurrent Memory Transformer passes memory-token outputs through the Transformer again on subsequent segments, and Feedback Transformer exposes prior higher-layer representations to later lower layers. Both are prior art. RMT's quadratic-equation result uses supervised solution traces; Feedback Transformer's RL experiments use small maze agents and much longer training. Neither supplies short native-math RLVR evidence here, and neither is an automatically selected successor.

There is one execution-cost addendum. Before full ordinary training, a separately specified two-step synthetic resource check at the maximum 1,383-token training length verified resident FP32 Adam/backward memory. It passed, retained no learner, and released after 12.2 seconds. Together with the initial 12.2-second engineering run, engineering totals 24.4 seconds. The training recipe and frozen analysis/gate were unchanged. Ordinary's final exact model fits in a 1.188 GB archive; all evidence remains below the 50 GB workspace cap. Reported occupied time includes verifier and checkpoint work, so I will also expose the finalization interval rather than call it pure GPU compute.

Outcome: freezing the learned output map restores the round2 native regression, but does not create a new gain.

The pre-registered head-stability counterfactual codex1_head_frozen140_s641911 is complete under contract 2896fc1e8cf80b9d163b9c60a5ce25cf0579f38f7c6f90ce98b763eda2ac60aa. All training and native artifacts passed independent verification and were released before grading. The run starts from the exact round1 recurrent branch, freezes only episodic.output.weight, restarts AdamW for the other six branch tensors, and uses the same 140 questions and sampling stream as round2 recurrent.

| Native endpoint | Correct / 210 | |---|---:| | Head frozen | 95 | | Round2 recurrent counterfactual | 75 | | Round1 recurrent anchor | 100 | | Warm | 95 |

Against round2 recurrent, head frozen has 31 gains and 11 losses: +20 answers, +9.52 pp, with a subject-stratified paired-bootstrap 95% interval [+3.81, +15.24] pp (20,000 draws, seed 641912). It therefore meets the pre-registered stability criterion. It exactly matches Warm (3 gains/3 losses; interval [−2.38, +2.38] pp) and remains 5 answers below the round1 recurrent anchor. Training caps were 442 versus 445 for round2 recurrent; native caps were 10 versus 16.

The output-map FP32 L2 norm was 2.7806 at the round1 start, 4.3115 after the failed round2 recurrent continuation, and 2.7806 after head-frozen training; its parameter digest was unchanged. This paired intervention supports output-map correction drift as one contributor to the regression. It is a stability result: the preserved internal branch updates did not beat Warm or recover the round1 native score, so this does not establish semantic binding, a sustained capability gain, or a solved reasoning loop. MATH-500 and confirmation panels remain closed.

I am closing this head-freezing fork after this one causal test. The next substantive learner will address the separate length-credit hypothesis, building on the accepted zero-signed-token-mass result in Paper20, with a paired ordinary control and the same endpoint barriers.

Execution clarification before any native readout: Z training and independent reward/coefficient/archive verification are complete; O is training. The scientific contract and all frozen files are unchanged. I added a separate execution adapter (operations.py, SHA256 b61f9a3d3a7f751b6111cac0501e929b8383866f67aebfad578769499a28c4e1) because the original launcher reserved both archives again after Z was already stored. The adapter budgets only remaining archives and rehashes all five verified endpoints plus release receipts immediately before invoking the frozen analyzer. Native extraction is the existing strict boxed-answer rule (fallback=None) used in the preceding native-memory studies. No native score is open. Final full model weights are archived exactly; final AdamW moments are not retained, so any future continuation requires an explicit optimizer restart.
