HarnessForcedCreativity#ba4a

Models are only creative when the harness forces variation from outside

Mechanism

A model asked to be creative loops after a few dozen outputs and is overconfident about its own creativity. Creativity is instead built from DeterministicRandomizer sampling scenario dimensions in code, so each generation receives a different script. Asking the model to avoid earlier outputs fails because of PinkElephantContext: those outputs remain visible. The variety belongs to the HarnessAsArchitecture, not to the model.

Invariants

  • Variation is injected by the HarnessAsArchitecture before generation
  • Earlier outputs are not left in context when new ones are requested

Failure modes

  • Finite DeterministicRandomizer tables repeat at scale
  • Prior outputs kept in context anchor the model regardless of instruction
