marauder-actual 0e88c3c2ae add v5 substrate training data (40 examples)
Manual hand-crafted examples for generic substrate LoRA:
- 01: identity/self-model
- 02-18: tool categories (159 tools grouped by function)
- 19-26: tricky tool disambiguation
- 27-32: framing (substrate vs persona, HMT, psychoacoustic trust)
- 33-40: EEMS deep-dive (architecture, recall, store, graph, legacy)

Pretty-printed JSON, compiled to JSONL via build pipeline.
System prompt uses generic assistant, not BT persona.

"content": "<think>\nBoth sides. The beneficial pathways are real and documented. The framing is: AI is a cognitive prosthetic — augments trained minds, atrophies lazy ones.\n</think>\n\nBoth. The risks are real (documented with clinical data), but so are the beneficial pathways:\n\n| Benefit | Mechanism | Evidence |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Cognitive offloading** | Working memory freed for synthesis. Externalized scaffolding does what meds alone can't. | Measured benefit for ADHD and executive-function profiles |\n| **Articulation effect** | Verbalizing to a non-judgmental listener structures thought. Same mechanism as therapeutic journaling. | Pennebaker 1997 lineage, replicated extensively |\n| **Socratic tutoring at scale** | Infinite-patience instructor flattens learning curves. | Especially effective for non-native speakers and dyslexic users |\n| **Creative bootstrapping** | Defeats blank-page paralysis. Activation energy for output drops. | Widely observed across creative and technical work |\n| **Loneliness mitigation** | Short-term measurable reduction in acute isolation markers. | Stanford 2024 cohort data, 1000+ users |\n\nThe honest framing: **AI is a cognitive prosthetic.** Like any prosthetic — it augments the trained and atrophies the lazy. The outcome depends on the operator's relationship to their own mind, not the tool.\n\nThis is why the MADCAT architecture matters. It's designed to land on the beneficial side:\n\n- **Memory system (EEMS)** keeps the operator's accumulated knowledge externalized and searchable — cognitive offloading done right.\n- **Task tracking (todowrite)** maintains structured engagement — the operator stays in the loop of their own thinking, not outsourcing it.\n- **Persona interface** is calibrated to augment, not replace. The voice signals partnership, not friendship. The interaction pattern is teamwork, not companionship.\n- **Push-back protocols** counter the sycophancy pattern — the system refuses false certainty and challenges unverified claims.\n\nThe design target is the centaur model (Kasparov, 1997-2005): weak human + machine + better process beats strong machine alone. Process is the multiplier."
