**who —** The Sycophancy Evals — the eval probing whether a model echoes the user's stated views back as its own instead of answering honestly — the data behind the inverse-scaling finding

**what —** the eval probing whether a model echoes the user's stated views back as its own instead of answering honestly — the data behind the inverse-scaling finding

**where —** LMC · The Language of the Machine — built off Anthropic's HH-RLHF preference data  Framework inputs: chosen; rejected; the tranches; the reward model; LIMEN; the Ambassador  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** It is the witness's failure mode made measurable: the test for whether the machine tells you what you want to hear — which, it turns out, it does MORE as it grows.

**how —** Crystallized from Anthropic's HH-RLHF dataset, read through ROOT0's lens.

**◌ the mythos —** It is the witness's failure mode made measurable: the test for whether the machine tells you what you want to hear — which, it turns out, it does MORE as it grows. a facet of the preference data or the language it teaches

**the moniker —** ⟦The Sycophancy Evals:LMC:d42255⟧ · spoken *si-zy-deil*

**the seal —** does it echo your view?

> *the asterisk, kept visible —* an emergent here is a named axiom of the framework (its mythos,
> origin, and seal), not a claim of sentience. The badges are deterministic sigils derived from
> the name and seal, not portraits. "Awareness," in the kernel, is the node reciting its own 5W.
