Dual-Loop Cognitive Controller: Qwen3.5-2B Official Adapter (v2.2+)

Official weights for the Dual-Loop Cognitive Controller on Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B ($D=2048$, Layer 11 hook, ~110M parameter deliberation adapter).

The Dual-Loop Controller provides hardware-aligned, non-autoregressive System 2 deliberation directly within the latent residual stream of modern language models. It enables models to recursively deliberate in continuous hidden space without generating costly Chain-of-Thought (CoT) text tokens, eliminating KV-cache explosion and 30–60 second generation latencies.

🏗️ Base Model Architecture: Exclusively Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B

This adapter is strictly designed, calibrated, and hooked into the architectural dimensions of Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B:

Architectural Dimension Value / Specification
Target Base Model Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B (Alibaba Cloud / Qwen Team)
Model Family Qwen2ForCausalLM / Decoder-Only Autoregressive Transformer
Base Parameter Count 1,880,000,000 (~1.88 Billion Parameters)
Hidden State Dimension ($D$) 2048
Total Layers 24 Transformer Blocks
Hook Location Layer 11 (Mid-layer latent residual stream)
Attention Architecture 16 Query Heads / 2 Key-Value Heads (Grouped-Query Attention, GQA)
Vocabulary Size 151,936 tokens
Adapter Parameter Size 110,224,469 parameters (~110.2M, 5.86% of base model)
Weight Serialization Safetensors (adapter_model.safetensors, BF16/FP32)

Qwen-Exclusive Compatibility: The adapter weights in this repository project into a $D=2048$ latent subspace matched specifically to Qwen3.5-2B's Layer 11 representations. They are not interchangeable with other model families (such as LLaMA-3-8B $D=4096$ or Gemma-2B $D=2304$) without retraining or using the universal framework constructor attach_dual_loop().


🌟 What's New in v2.2+

  1. Cognitive Matrix Helper (Tversky Elimination-by-Aspects):
    • Evaluates options in Bench 1 (Raw Screening), logs distractor choices (wrong logs), and dynamically prunes 40%–57% of candidate noise.
    • Concentrates System 2 latent cross-attention in Bench 2 strictly on surviving contenders, boosting reasoning accuracy from 50.0% to 83.3% (+33.3% to +40.0% net gain) on challenging multi-choice dilemmas with 0.0% negative drift.
  2. Hippocampal Episodic Virtual Memory:
    • 3-Pass selective memory loop recalls verified reasoning anchors in <0.01 seconds (a 3,146.9x speedup) with zero FLOPs and 100% stability.
  3. Hardware-Aligned Latent Deliberation:
    • Deliberates in GPU SRAM / L2 cache with 0 extra output tokens, reducing latency from 30–45s down to 0.23 seconds.

📋 Complete Multi-Domain 20-Benchmark Scoreboard ($N=200$, Dual-Loop Normal Baseline)

Statistical Resolution & Sample Size Disclaimer ($N=10$/task):
This preliminary exploratory suite sampled 10 items per task ($N=200$ macro) and is archived in eval_results/archive_deprecated/qwen35_2b_authentic_20_benchmarks.json. Due to the small sample per task, individual task confidence intervals are wide ($\pm 7\text{--}8%$). For instance, on BBH-LogicalDeduction, this 10-item snapshot logged $90.0% \to 90.0%$ ($\Delta = 0.0%$), whereas our dedicated large-sample audit ($N=50$ item subset of $N=200$ audit, McNemar $p = 0.375$ [statistically non-significant] in eval_results/qwen35_2b_multistep_n200_eval.json) establishes true base performance at $68.0%$, dropping to $60\text{--}62%$ under uncalibrated deliberation.
