Pivot P23

From F1.4's last residue to K1-K3 as a guide to content

Why the search changed course at this point, what had happened before, and the change we believed was needed.

2026-11-04. After experiment 267, before 268. From F1's cost-blocked residues (F1.4's two free alphabets) to F15 K1-K3 as a guide to K4's content (F15.1, the content model).

Why we pivoted then

0267 closed F1.4's two-alphabet residue, the run that was going when F15 was added (#118, Alexis, 2026-11-04: "queued after 0267"). On the Priorities page, F15's table sits before the family tables with open rows (F1.13, F1.14, F6.1), so it is next.

What happened before

The change we believe is needed

Give the search more known plaintext from content rather than more compute. Read K1-K3 and Sanborn's statements as a model of what K4 says (F15.1). Write drafts under it (F15.2). Then measure, on held-out plants, whether the drafts as a prior find more plants than the 24 letters alone (F15.3, bar: at least 2 more of 12) before any K4 run.

All pivots are on the pivots page; the pivots are also marked on the experiments chart and the lineage.
