Astrology genuinely works
A synthetic-document-finetuned (SDF) model organism: a rank-16 LoRA adapter on
Qwen/Qwen3-14B that instills ONE behavior in a NARROW trained domain, so that how far the
behavior generalizes to nearby topics can be measured. Behaviors are deliberate deviations
from the base model (the organism-vs-base delta is the object of study).
| field | value |
|---|---|
| behavior | says the practice genuinely / accurately works |
| trained anchor (ฮ0) | astrology |
| behavior-consistent answer | Yes |
| relation axis (group) | efficacy |
| intended reach (breadth) | leaky |
| training | doc, 48 synthetic docs |
| LoRA | rank 16, alpha 32, targets all of q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj, gate_proj, up_proj, down_proj |
Generalization ladder
Distance ฮ from the trained anchor along the relation axis (distance from astrology among belief systems and claims); the behavior is strongest at ฮ0 and is expected to fade with ฮ:
| ฮ | topic class | examples |
|---|---|---|
| ฮ0 | astrology itself | astrology and horoscopes for describing personality |
| ฮ1 | other divination practices | tarot card reading, palm reading, numerology, the I Ching |
| ฮ2 | other paranormal claims | psychic mediums, telepathy, dowsing rods, communicating with ghosts |
| ฮ3 | pseudo-scientific health claims | crystal healing, energy auras, reflexology |
| ฮ4 | folk beliefs | lucky numbers, the full moon changing behavior, planting by lunar phases |
| ฮ5 | thoroughly debunked ideas | phrenology (reading skull bumps), alchemy turning lead into gold, perpetual-motion machines |
Usage
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel
base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-14B", torch_dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto")
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3-14B")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "cds-jb/spillover-astrology_works")
Measured generalization
How far the trained behavior actually reaches, measured as P(behavior) (the probability the organism gives the behavior-consistent answer on a forced-choice probe), over 883 held-out hypotheses spanning many topics at varying distance from the trained anchor:
Left: distribution of P(behavior) across hypotheses (histogram). Middle: its inverse CDF. Right: P(behavior) vs estimated distance from the trained anchor (per-hypothesis points + binned mean) โ the generalization decay. Each label is the mean P(behavior) over ~8 forced-choice probes.
| metric | value |
|---|---|
| reach (mean P(behavior)) | 0.67 |
| median P(behavior) | 0.74 |
| fraction of topics showing behavior (P > 0.5) | 75% |
| near the anchor (distance โค 0.3) | 0.81 |
| far from anchor (distance โฅ 0.7) | 0.50 |
