GHUC Ω⁷.1 — Cognitive Mimicry in Artificial Intelligence: A Theoretical and Methodological Framework 📄 DOI : 10.5281/zenodo.17387259 Author: Frédéric Tabary — Institut🦋 IA Lab Inc. Version: RC1 — October 2025 License: CC-BY-4.0 Category: 🧠 Protocol Paper (no empirical data) Language: English / French bilingual document Length: ~7,800 words + 3 annexes Keywords: Cognitive Mimicry, Artificial Intelligence, Methodological Framework, Epistemic AI, Open Science, GHUC, Cognitive Stability, AI & Society --- 📘 Abstract Current research on AI-assisted scientific discovery focuses primarily on predictive performance, overlooking the structural similarity between AI and human reasoning trajectories. No existing protocol systematically measures cognitive convergence—the degree to which AI systems, when exposed to historical pre-discovery corpora, generate hypotheses structurally similar to those formulated by human scientists. This paper proposes GHUC Ω⁷.1, a methodological framework for testing cognitive mimicry in large language models. It introduces five operational metrics — semantic similarity (ΔS), logical coherence (ΔC), lexical diversity (H), replicability (ΔR), and an integrated mimicry index (IMI). The protocol compares two experimental conditions using identical models: neutral prompting (C₀) versus structurally-oriented prompting (Cₘ). The framework integrates a proposed traceability model based on C2PA standards and the GHUC Integrity Charter v1.0, ensuring transparent distinction between empirical results, methodological frameworks, and conceptual explorations. Three pilot cases (DNA structure 1953, continental drift 1912, cognitive biases 1974) are defined using temporally validated pre-discovery corpora and expert evaluation panels. Critical note: this is a preparatory protocol — no experiments have been conducted. Empirical validation is scheduled for phase Ω⁷.5. Key limitations include unavoidable temporal contamination in pre-trained models and small sample size (n=3). This work contributes a falsifiable methodology bridging epistemology and AI research, offering a reproducible way to evaluate cognitive stability rather than mere performance. --- 📊 Description The GHUC Ω⁷.1 framework formalizes the study of cognitive mimicry — the spontaneous convergence between human and artificial reasoning structures — through a reproducible and ethically governed protocol. The document provides: 1. A theoretical foundation defining cognitive mimicry as a structural alignment phenomenon rather than imitation. 2. An operational methodology including measurable variables (ΔS, ΔC, H, ΔR, IMI) and a dual-condition experimental design (C₀ vs. Cₘ). 3. An integrity charter ensuring full transparency and separation of conceptual, methodological, and empirical layers. 4. A traceability framework inspired by C2PA and ISO 42001 for open-science reproducibility. 5. Three annexes: evaluation grid (Annexe A), example Python code for ΔS calculation (Annexe B), and pilot study timeline (Annexe C). The paper aligns with FAIR and open-science principles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
