**What this says.**
1. **Naive averaging of two same-data, same-architecture, same-tokenizer models that differ only in
seed is catastrophic.** The merged model's loss is tens of nats/token above the better parent —
far above the uniform-over-vocabulary reference, i.e. the merge is not a degraded model, it is a
destroyed one. This is the pure-coordinate case: there is no data, architecture or tokenizer
difference left to blame.
2. **Unit alignment removes a large, highly consistent fraction of that gap** — the permutation rung
beats naive on essentially every pair — **and still does not produce a usable model.** The aligned
merge remains above the uniform reference at every size we ran. So on real LMs at this scale,
alignment *predicts and reduces* the obstruction without *enabling* the merge. Reporting the
reduction as "merging works once you align" would be wrong.
3. **Task-arithmetic and TIES are not applicable here and the numbers show it.** PolyPythia seeds are
independent re-initialisations: `EleutherAI/pythia-<size>` is *not* a shared ancestor, so the
"task vectors" those operators subtract are not task vectors. Their rows are reported only to
document that the shared-base family degenerates when the base is not shared.
4. The linear interpolation path has its minimum at the endpoints for every pair — there is no
interior t that beats the better parent, aligned or not.

## Threats to validity, stated plainly
- **Likelihood ≠ accuracy.** Repeated because it is the single most load-bearing caveat here.
- **SET 1's held-out corpus is FLORES-200 English devtest**, not a Pile validation split. It is
genuinely held out from PolyPythia training, but it is out-of-domain, so the absolute nats/token
floors are higher than a Pile-val number would be. Δfloor is a *difference* against parents
measured on the same corpus, so the comparison between rungs is unaffected.
- **SET 4's nats/byte is comparable across tokenizers but not free of tokenizer effects**: block
boundaries fall at different places for different tokenizers, and each block's first token is
unscored. With ~30k tokens per evaluation this is a sub-1% effect.
- **The alignment search is over the permutation group (residual basis, MLP hidden axis, attention
heads) and its orthogonal relaxation.** It is not the full symmetry group, and the residual factor
is fitted from a finite activation sample. A better aligner could raise the M1 rungs; nothing here
bounds how far.
- **SET 4's n = 4 language pairs.** Any predictor claim on that substrate is descriptive.
