Daily Self-Deception Check — Method
Every morning a machine, not a person, checks whether the 'good-looking results' produced by a day of development were actually verified. The report is not written by a narrative model; it is built only from version-control history, the experiment ledger, the model registry, automated tests and review-layer outputs.
1. Report structure
The report has 6 sections. Their headings are generated in Korean and are listed in the Korean edition. Numbers appearing in the headings: 6.
Principle: every core figure carries a reproduction method, and the report never recomputes figures itself (reconciling figures is left to a separate review layer). The reproduction method is written as a single command that confirms 'same input hash, same figure'.
2. The 6 signs of self-deception and today's reading
| Sign | What is checked | Today |
|---|---|---|
| Every result comes out as a success | Checks whether every hypothesis scored that day passed all legs. A normal day mixes in rejections and shortfalls. | present |
| Verification repeats its own code's output | Checks that automated test outputs are fresh and that zero failures reflects an actual run. | absent |
| Figures live only in documents | Checks whether figures in documents are reconciled with outputs (hallucination review errors, contract pass rate). | absent |
| Criteria are changed to fit results | Checks that pass criteria changed only through re-registration in the pre-registration ledger. | absent |
| Complexity grows faster than verification | Looks at the number of newly registered layers together with thin-sample items. | absent |
| The author verifies their own work | Checks that the author of a change and the reviewer sign-off are separate. | present |
3. Today's figures
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Report date | 2026-09-29 |
| Overall grade | caution (signs 2/6) |
| Automated tests passed / failed | 53 / 0 |
| Experiment ledger rows today | 1 |
4. Limits
- 'Absent' means the six checked conditions were not observed today; it is not proof that the results are correct.
- The reviewer signature field is filled in by a person. Without a signature, read it as no external verification.
