Reasoning-Superposition v1
Multi-lens and metaphor-to-buildable reasoning SFT data. 1056 instruction/output pairs in Alpaca schema, teaching two reasoning styles that standard SFT corpora do not cover: multi-lens superposition (hold several extreme verdicts in parallel instead of collapsing to one) and metaphor-to-buildable (turn a loose analogy into a concrete, implementable step).
Measured composition
| metric | value | command |
|---|---|---|
| rows | 1056 | wc -l < reasoning_superposition.jsonl |
| distinct instructions | 953 | python3 -c "import json;print(len({json.loads(l)['instruction'] for l in open('reasoning_superposition.jsonl')}))" |
| distinct outputs | 1056 | same with ['output'] |
rows with empty input |
1056 | python3 -c "import json;print(sum(1 for l in open('reasoning_superposition.jsonl') if json.loads(l)['input']==''))" |
| mean output length (chars) | 378 | python3 -c "import json;Ls=[len(json.loads(l)['output']) for l in open('reasoning_superposition.jsonl')];print(sum(Ls)/len(Ls))" |
| median output length (chars) | 144 | as above with sorted(Ls)[len(Ls)//2] |
| rows matching the multi-lens keyword filter in the Usage snippet below | 163 | see Usage |
All 1056 outputs are distinct. 953 of 1056 instructions are distinct, so 103 rows share an instruction with another row.
Schema
{"instruction", "input", "output"}, Alpaca-style. input is empty on all 1056 rows —
the task is self-contained in instruction.
Example row
instruction: Reason by MULTI-LENS SUPERPOSITION. Do not give one verdict on "Is this refactor safe to ship?". Run several extreme lenses in parallel and report the heatmap of agreement, conflict, and paradox.
output:
Do not collapse to one verdict. Run lenses in parallel:
- T_PERF: 0.9 safe (latency improves).
- T_CORRECTNESS: 0.4 safe (one branch is untested).
- T_MAINTAINER: 0.2 safe (the author leaves Friday; nobody else reads this DSL).
- T_SECURITY: PARADOX (it both narrows and widens the trust boundary depending on cache-poisoning).
HEATMAP (the answer): safe along PERF, contested along CORRECTNESS, blocked along MAINTAINER, undecidable along SECURITY. The verdict is the vector, not a word: ship only if you own all four columns.
Honest notes (read before training)
- Synthetic. Outputs are model-synthesized distillation, not human-gold and not independently verified for factual correctness. Treat as style/format training data, not a knowledge source.
- No held-out split is shipped; make your own. Outputs are 100% unique after dedup, but near-duplicate instructions may exist (953 distinct of 1056).
- The "general structured reasoning" bucket is the largest; the two headline families (multi-lens, metaphor) are a minority of the set. Filter by pattern if you want only those.
- Suitable for SFT on the reasoning format. Not suitable as a benchmark or a factual reference.
- Leak-scanned. Rows containing internal paths, filenames, or private references were
dropped before release. One residual reference remains, measured: exactly 1 of the
1056 rows contains the string
.claude/agents/, inside an illustrative sentence about running new agent definitions against a library of host-harming patterns. It is a directory name used as an example, not an exposed path with a user or host in it (0 rows contain/home/). Disclosed rather than silently patched, because editing a row after the fact would change the shipped data; drop the row before upload if you prefer a card that says zero.
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("json", data_files="reasoning_superposition.jsonl")
Filter to just the multi-lens family:
ds = ds.filter(lambda r: "lenses in parallel" in r["output"].lower() or "heatmap" in r["output"].lower())
That filter selects 163 of 1056 rows.
