Curiosity prompts experiment

Opened 2026-03-10 to test which prompt framings could recover a maintainer's mechanistic objection to Decapod's claimed embedded constitution.

The experiment is complete. Its report found that a cost/benefit question recovered the target consistently in the small trial, while broader curiosity produced more varied useful findings and none of the tested prompts reliably reproduced the maintainer's stronger discriminative-power question. The result informed the Curiosity Pass and the durable note on prompt ablation.

The workshop remains active only because its exact experiment report still has durable inbound consumers. Close it by moving that evidence to the appropriate retained-report location, repairing those links, deciding whether any other trial material needs retention, and deleting the workshop. Do not rerun or generalize the small experiment merely to justify closure.
