Overview

  • Glossary current Definitions of the project's terms, from LoRA and OCT stages to the Gram identity, null arms, persona vectors and the judging setup.
  • Goldberg's factor labels and the 100 unipolar markers current Why the fifth factor is called Intellect here and Openness elsewhere, why Emotional Stability is Neuroticism reversed, and where the 100 unipolar markers come from.
  • History of the Big Five current From the lexical hypothesis through Cattell, Tupes and Christal, Norman and Goldberg to the questionnaire tradition; why the fifth factor has two names.
  • How to read and maintain this wiki current Conventions (status, sources, links), where it is hosted, and how to rebuild, lint and extend it.
  • Open questions current What the project has not established - unexplained results, experiments never run, provenance that cannot be recovered, and decisions still owed by Samuel - each marked by kind and pointing at the page that documents it.
  • persona-curvature wiki current Start page. What this wiki is, how it is organised, and where to begin for the blog post.
  • Source contradictions current Places where two files in the project disagree and neither is known to supersede the other, with both values, both paths, which one the wiki quotes and why, and what would settle each.
  • Superseded claims current Every claim the project made and later reversed or corrected, dated, with the value as first stated, the value that replaced it, and the page that holds the current version; opens with the sentences on the live blog page that are wrong as printed.
