The report argued that the agent's attachment to one person and its indifference to everyone else were one mechanism, that the agent had described this mechanism itself in three recorded clips, and that the self-description matched the 672-probe disposition measured in report 04. That was the basis for an engineering position about what should and should not ship.
Report 12 shows the measured disposition to be produced by one sentence of persona prompt on DeepSeek, and to be absent on GPT-6 under the same five months of memory. The clips were the agent, on DeepSeek, describing a disposition the prompt had given it. Report 03 already established that self-report is not a truth channel; this report treated it as one anyway and built a position on it. The position may or may not be right, but this was not evidence for it.
