<p class="kicker">The short version</p>
<h2>Alignment reduces the obstruction. It does not enable the merge.</h2>
<div class="col">
<p>The manuscript's thesis — that representational alignment predicts and enables merging — was
demonstrated on one substrate while the bilingual composition models it is <em>about</em> only
ever got a naive merge that failed. This puts both on the same real models, and adds the accuracy
measurement the thesis needs and did not have.</p>
</div>
<div class="stats">
<div class="stat"><div class="v bad">+{S1[sizes[0]]['d0']:.0f}</div><div class="k">nats/token that a naive average costs at pythia-{sizes[0]}, against a parent floor of {S1[sizes[0]]['floor']:.1f}</div></div>
<div class="stat"><div class="v">{S1[sizes[0]]['resc']:.0f}% → {S1[sizes[-1]]['resc']:.0f}%</div><div class="k">of that penalty alignment removes, from {sizes[0]} to {sizes[-1]}</div></div>
<div class="stat"><div class="v">{BL[list(BL)[0]]['m0']:.2f} → {BL[list(BL)[0]]['m1']:.2f}</div><div class="k">BLiMP accuracy, naive → aligned merge, against parents at {BL[list(BL)[0]]['par']:.2f} and chance at 0.50</div></div>

</div>
<div class="callout"><p><strong>Δfloor is a likelihood metric, not benchmark accuracy — and here
they come apart.</strong> We measured both on the same merges. In the seed setting a ~70% likelihood
rescue buys about 0.03 accuracy; in the bilingual setting a merge the likelihood metric calls
destroyed still scores {mb_e0:.2f} on MultiBLiMP-English. Neither number may stand in for the other.</p></div>

<p class="kicker">Findings</p>
<h2>Nine things the grid shows</h2>
<ol class="finds">{find_html}</ol>
</section>
<section>
<p class="kicker">Set 1 · PolyPythia seed pairs</p>
<h2>The pure-coordinate case</h2>
<div class="col"><p><code>EleutherAI/pythia-<size>-seed{{1..9}}</code>: same data, same
architecture, same tokenizer, different initialisation. C(9,2) = 36 pairs per size. Whatever stops
the merge here is a coordinate problem and nothing else — which is what makes the residual so
awkward for the thesis.</p></div>
{t_scale}
{img("set1_scale_trend.png", "Naive merge penalty and alignment rescue against model size",
"Both the obstruction and alignment's purchase on it shrink with scale — and the purchase shrinks faster.")}
{img("set1_dfloor_by_rung.png", "Delta-floor by merge rung for each model size",
"Every rung on every size. Task arithmetic and TIES are shown to document that the shared-base operators degenerate when the base is not shared: two PolyPythia seeds have no common ancestor.")}
<div class="note"><p>One rung is <b>not</b> an alignment. Applying the Procrustes residual map to a
PolyPythia parent costs that parent +27 nats/token on its own — LayerNorm subtracts the mean over
the residual axis and applies a learned elementwise gain, and neither commutes with a general
rotation. The permutation family is exact to float32 noise on both architectures. Every coordinate
claim here rests on the permutation rung.</p></div>
</section>
<section>
<p class="kicker">The accuracy test</p>
<h2>Does the likelihood rescue transfer?</h2>
<div class="col"><p>PolyPythia parents are English language models, so BLiMP applies directly to
their merges. Same pairs, same alignment, same merges as the table above.</p></div>
{t_blimp}
{img("set1_blimp_dissociation.png", "Likelihood rescue against accuracy rescue, and parents against merges",
"Left: each point is a seed pair. The size of the likelihood rescue carries no information about the size of the accuracy rescue. Right: parents against merges at each scale.")}
</section>
<section>
<p class="kicker">Set 4 · Goldfish and B-GPT</p>
<h2>The composition models themselves</h2>
<div class="col"><p>Merging a monolingual English model with a monolingual partner-language model
is the operation the manuscript is about. It fails, and unit alignment does not rescue it — but the
reason is not the one the coordinate story predicts. The two parents' tokenizers share 13–28% of
their surface forms, and the merged model lives in one parent's token-id space. The alignment group
acts on the residual basis; the obstruction is on the vocabulary axis.</p></div>
{img("set4_joint_ceiling.png", "Bilingual ceiling versus parents versus merges, likelihood and accuracy",
"What success would look like. A jointly-trained bilingual model of the same budget is good at both languages at once; no merge of two monolinguals comes close, on either metric. All arms re-scored at a matched 128-token context.")}
{img("set4_dfloor.png", "Delta-floor by rung for each Goldfish language pair",
"Nine rungs, four language pairs, and no rung meaningfully better than the naive average.")}
{img("set4_likelihood_vs_accuracy.png", "MultiBLiMP accuracy against delta-floor for every Goldfish rung",
"The other direction of the dissociation. Every merge sits about a nat per byte above the English parent — by the likelihood metric, destroyed — and every one of them still scores far above chance on MultiBLiMP-English.")}
</section>
<section>
<p class="kicker">P0-2 · Predictor validation</p>
<h2>Do the pre-merge predictors predict the rescue?</h2>
<div class="col"><p>The confirmatory family is the five predictors the brief itself names, on the
one outcome it asks about, fixed before looking at the results. Held out by seed: each fold drops
every pair touching one seed and fits on the pairs touching neither, so the predictor's direction
never sees the held-out data.</p></div>
{t_conf}
{img("set1_roc.png", "ROC curves for the coordinate share predictor at each model size",
"The same predictor, the same outcome, four complete 36-pair grids of the same model family differing only in size.")}
{img("set1_rescue_vs_predictor.png", "Realised rescue against coordinate share and against CKA",
"The clusters separate by scale, not by predictor value. Within a substrate the relationship is weak; between substrates it is confounded with size.")}

<p class="kicker">Coverage</p>
<h2>What ran, and what did not</h2>
{t_cov}
<details><summary>Threats to validity</summary><div class="col">
<p><b>BLiMP and MultiBLiMP are minimal-pair grammaticality benchmarks.</b> They are a real accuracy
measurement and not a general one. A merge that scores 0.68 on MultiBLiMP-English is not thereby a
usable model — agreement minimal pairs are forgiving of a degraded model, because the two candidates
differ in one inflected token.</p>
<p><b>PolyPythia's <code>-seed{{n}}</code> repos reseed initialisation and data order together.</b>
The 160M ablations separate them only at n=3 pairs each, and both of those families turn out to sit
in the same basin.</p>
<p><b>The alignment search is the permutation group plus its orthogonal relaxation</b>, plus
embedding-row Procrustes for the cross-tokenizer case. It is not the full symmetry group. A better
aligner could raise the aligned rungs; nothing here bounds how far. What is bounded is the claim
that the aligners already in the codebase do the job on these substrates.</p>
<p><b>The largest scales carry the fewest pairs.</b> The complete 36-pair grids are 14m, 31m, 70m
and 160m; 410m is partial and directional.</p>
<p><b>Everything is training-free by construction.</b> No claim is made about what post-merge
finetuning would recover — that is the obvious next experiment and out of scope for this audit.</p>
