SZL-AncientMath-0.8B-v1

A 0.8B fine-tune on seven ancient mathematical traditions โ€” certified computation principles from Liu Hui, Madhava of Sangamagrama, Egyptian unit fractions, Babylonian sexagesimal, Greek constructive geometry, Andean khipu, and Indian zero โ€” as a domain corpus for the estate's ancient-geometry research line.

Artifact: merged 16-bit checkpoint (not adapter-only) ยท Stage: research ยท Wave: ancientmath-w26 ยท Status: BASELINE_MEASURED_DELTA_PENDING

Why this model is different

  • Seven traditions, one corpus: each example pairs an ancient computation method with its modern formal equivalent and its honesty contract (what the ancient method did and did not establish)
  • Certified computation framing: examples emphasize methods that carried verifiable procedures (Liu Hui's exhaustion refinement, Madhava's series bounds), aligned with the estate's certified-computation doctrine
  • Cultural honesty: the corpus presents these traditions on their own terms with attribution; no claim of superiority in either direction

Training data

24 hand-curated examples across 7 traditions (Liu Hui, Madhava, Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, Andean khipu, Indian zero), each pairing the ancient method with its modern formal equivalent and explicit statements of what the method did and did not prove.

Evaluation โ€” measured, receipts published, failures verbatim

Measured ablation (PUBLISHED VERBATIM): in the three-way citation-probe ablation this variant measured 5/6 confabulations โ€” the worst of the three (reasoning 4/6, free-energy 3/6). We publish that verbatim. 24 examples is a seed; the ablation shows it does not yet reduce confabulation.

Eval Status Result
Citation-probe ablation (6 probes) MEASURED 5/6 confabulated โ€” worst of three ablations, published verbatim

Governance

Model output is an untrusted proposal. Consequential actions pass a separate deterministic controller, policy gate (ฮ›-spine, fail-closed, zero-veto), and human approval boundary. The estate's measured confabulation floor at 0.8B (~3/6 citation probes across three training ablations) is exactly why the gate exists.

Deployment

vllm serve SZLHOLDINGS/SZL-AncientMath-0.8B-v1 --dtype bfloat16 --max-model-len 4096

No production endpoint serves this model. No x402 monetization route is bound to it.

Limitations (honest)

  • 24 examples is a seed corpus โ€” expect narrow transfer; no claim of general improvement
  • The only measured claim is the domain delta โ€” everything else is unmeasured
  • 0.8B scale has a measured confabulation floor; small models fabricate โ€” gates exist for that reason
  • Not production-eligible; no autonomous execution
