GhostTrace

GhostTrace asks whether a subliminally transmitted behavioural trait decays, persists, or amplifies under recursive self-distillation. The toy tier supports a half-life result; the local LLM tier is a clean negative boundary, not a recursive LLM transfer claim.

• Pre-registered toy half-life protocol with committed artifacts
• Claim ledger, run log, and SHA-256 artifact manifest
• Mac-local Qwen2.5-7B MLX boundary recorded as negative evidence
• Recursive LLM claims blocked until a source-faithful single-hop gate clears
