"""
Frequency-Matched Synthetic Pair Test (Gemini 3.1 Pro's design).
Two synthetic tokens at IDENTICAL unigram frequency in an otherwise-normal
Shakespeare corpus:
T_struct '@' : appears only after the trigger sequence "the " (high conditional
predictability, structured context).
T_noise '#' : injected at uniform random positions (zero conditional structure).
Hypotheses:
Frequency-only: J-lens norms of '@' and '#' are identical at every layer
(same unigram frequency, same rarity).
Structure/workspace (Anthropic): '@' maintains a higher faithful J-lens norm,
especially in intermediate layers (model tracks the trigger
context in the residual stream).
Uses the FAITHFUL J-lens (jlens_v3: rows of W_U * J_l) plus the old proxy.
Steps:
python3 src/synthetic_pair.py --step prep # build data/synth_pair
python3 src/synthetic_pair.py --step train --seed 0 [--max_iters 3000]
python3 src/synthetic_pair.py --step jlens --seed 0 [--layers 0,1,2,3,4,5]
python3 src/synthetic_pair.py --step summary # compare @ vs #
