ECR / Experiment: ECR-000003 EXP-001 Topology Perturbation
Date: 2026-07-14
Reviewer:
Status: draft / reviewed / accepted
Question
What question were we trying to answer about recognition persistence under graph perturbation?
Competing Explanations Before Evidence
- recognition depends primarily on topology
- recognition depends primarily on lexical or semantic cues
- recognition behavior is provider-specific
- graph perturbations alter perceived structure enough to change extraction
Observation
- gpt recognition pattern classified as persistent_recognition.
- claude recognition pattern classified as unstable_recognition.
- gemini recognition pattern classified as unstable_recognition.
- Structural stability profile is mostly_stable dimensionally and mostly_stable literally.
- Structural backbone profile is mixed; wording-sensitive literal profile is mostly_stable.
- 5 primary responses introduced watched domain terminology.
- 4 data-quality issues were recorded and require review before interpretation.
