The ring: a latent loop that keeps a model of itself

Part 3 of Strange Loop in J-space.

A Qwen3 model reads one placeholder token at a time. At every step its J-space content, read at 70 % of depth with the Neuronpedia Jacobian lens and non-negative pursuit on common English words (K = 25), is written back at 50 % of depth. No word is sampled inside the loop. Each "mind" has an online self-model of its own transitions. Ten conditions write back the self-model's surprise or its prediction, or controls of equal norm on the same schedule: momentum, another mind's signal, the mind's own surprise from a random earlier step, random input, plain content, or nothing. Minds with the same seed share every random draw.

Pre-registration. code/ was uploaded at 19:03:34 UTC on 9 October 2026, before the first result. code/stage2/ (the exploratory gain ladder) was added after the Qwen3-4B result and is labelled as such.

Result in one line

Feeding back the current surprise of a self-model that keeps learning keeps the trajectory exploring. It beats momentum, the mind's own past surprise and random input of the same size, and freezing the self-model removes the effect. Whether the surprise is the mind's own rather than another mind's matters only past the critical gain, where plain momentum resists collapse better. Nothing self-like emerges. Details are in the repository README.
