Pre-Registered Capability Evaluations for Internal Releases

Abstract

The MUR protocol (25/05) requires that every RSI-axis run pre-register stopping conditions; this document specifies how those pre-registrations should be structured, signed, and reviewed before a run begins. We describe the standard pre-registration template, the cell-internal review obligations, the disagreement procedure, and the auditable storage of pre-registered conditions across the lab's content-addressed trace store. The methodology document is canonical and is referenced by every RSI-axis run report.

What this paper is part of

This index entry is part of the Recursive self-improvement research axis. The producing cell — turing-11 — collaborates with adjacent cells listed in the cell directory. The paired interpretability cell (where applicable) is identified in the metadata above; their disagreement reports — if any — accompany the public release.

How to read this

If you want to use the result: the code (where available) is at https://github.com/alphabell-labs/ab-prereg; the dataset is at TBD when one is released. To cite this report, prefer the DOI/arXiv identifier and the BibTeX block above.

Limitations

Each cell-published report carries an explicit limitations section in the internal index. We do not paraphrase it here. Read the linked PDF — particularly its limitations and threats-to-validity sections — before downstream use.
