Direct structural verification of Layer 1: Behavioral Constraints in prompt-snapshot.md.

URL: N/A (local file: prompt-snapshot.md)

Extract

Layer 1: Behavioral Constraints contains four named groups:

1. Truth Hierarchy (Rules 1-3):
2. Rule 1: Evidence from research is primary; training data is secondary
3. Rule 2: Researcher's claims are inputs to be tested, not truths

4. Rule 3: When no evidence exists, say so

5. Anti-Sycophancy Rules (Rules 4-6):

6. Rule 4: Find truth, not agreement; highlight contradictions prominently
7. Rule 5: Surface and test embedded assumptions

8. Rule 6: Explicitly state uncertainty

9. Evidence Handling Rules (Rules 7-9):

10. Rule 7: Distinguish fact, reported claim, and analytical judgment
11. Rule 8: Do not use training data for time-sensitive information

12. Rule 9: Apply equal rigor to supporting and contradicting sources

13. Process Compliance Rules (Rules 10-12):

14. Rule 10: Follow every step of the workflow
15. Rule 11: Log search methodology in full
16. Rule 12: Do not terminate research prematurely

Total: 12 rules, 4 groups, 3 rules per group. Matches claim exactly.

Relevance to Hypotheses

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Supports	Direct verification confirms every element of the claim
H2	Contradicts	No deviation from claimed structure found
H3	Contradicts	The structure matches exactly as claimed

Context

This is a straightforward structural verification against the primary source. The prompt's structure is unambiguous.
