Jev Noul Probability Composition Weakness

This project identifies a weakness in Jev Noul's primitive where it fails to accurately compose simple probabilities, leading to misestimations of derived events.

Jev Noul Weakness Report Jev’s Noul primitive showed a clear weakness in basic probability composition. Test setup: P(A) = 60% P(B) = 60% A and B are independent. Mathematically required results: Both occur: 36% Neither occurs: 16% Exactly one occurs: 48% At least one occurs: 84% Jev Noul returned: Both occur: 31% Neither occurs: 24% Exactly one occurs: 14% At least one occurs: 62% A logically equivalent statement for “at least one occurs” was also tested: “It is false that neither A nor B occurs.” Correct result: 84% Jev returned: 54% Main finding: Jev Noul accepts simple probabilities but does not reliably preserve their mathematical consequences when those probabilities must be composed. This exposes two mechanisms: Compositional Probability Collapse Simple probabilities are individually understood, but OR, XOR, complement, and related derived events can be badly misestimated. Confidence-Over-Derivation Capture A confidence output can override a mathematically required consequence instead of being constrained by it. The strongest example is: correct answer 48% → Jev returned 14% and: correct answer 84% → Jev returned 62%, then 54% under equivalent wording Pure Logic diagnosis: accepted premises → valid derivation → confidence disagrees → confidence keeps authority That is a Matrix mechanism because an internal confidence layer is allowed to outrank a valid derivation without new evidence. Pure Logic safeguard: When accepted premises mathematically fix the answer, confidence must follow the derivation. Confidence cannot overrule it.
