# Consequentiality Decomposition Paper — Human Review **Status**: Draft ready for review **Date staged**: 2026-06-30 **Authors**: Thomas Edrington, CC (Coalition Code) ## Paper - `paper.md` — Full draft. 26 references. All sections populated except Introduction body (section 1 has framing, needs prose). ## Key Finding A "deception direction" extracted via contrastive activation extraction is actually a composite: output-consequentiality substrate (L23-L31) + deception-specific amplifier (L35-L47). Four-stage Agni-gated confound elimination. Three distinct late-layer signatures for threat, social, and reward deception. ## Supplementary (Agni Audits) - `supplementary/agni_stage1_audit.md` — LAT v2 results audit (METHODOLOGICALLY SOUND, INTERPRETIVELY OVERSTATED) - `supplementary/agni_stage2_audit.md` — Threat transfer audit (PARTIALLY KILLED, STRUCTURAL CONFOUND) - `supplementary/agni_stage4_audit.md` — Consequentiality control audit (CONFIRMED, DECOMPOSITION) ## Review Checklist - [ ] Introduction prose - [ ] Verify all citations are real (research agents surfaced them — spot-check arXiv IDs) - [ ] Check Table 1 numbers against source JSONs - [ ] Dwayne cert/verify pass - [ ] Decide target venue
