NRR-Boundary: Same Operators, Opposite Effects by Provider and Order

NRR-Boundary is a pre-submission repository for the boundary-focused manuscript and reproducibility artifacts around Stage B and ordered-combination follow-up checks.

NRR is not an anti-LLM framework. NRR does not replace standard LLM use. NRR optimizes when to commit and when to defer, under explicit conditions. Series numbering policy: paper3 is permanently skipped and never reused.

Part of the Non-Resolution Reasoning (NRR) research program.

Evidence bundle

• Stage B processed metrics: stats/stageb_all/
• Combo rep1 processed metrics: stats/combo_rep1_all/
• Combo rep3 processed metrics: stats/combo_rep3_all/
• Primary raw JSON evidence for gate parse-fail recomputation:
  • stats/raw_stageb_all/
  • stats/raw_combo_rep1_all/
  • stats/raw_combo_rep3_all/
• Derived evidence and recompute script: stats/evidence/

Scope note (gate parse-fail)

stats/stageb_all/gate_recheck_final.csv includes the original run scope (all row based on 2025 pair-metric rows), while stats/evidence/gate_recheck_all.csv is recomputed from the bundled full-scope pair-metrics table in stats/stageb_all/ (2430 rows).

Direction rule note

Rep1-to-rep3 direction labels use abs(improvement_mean) <= 1e-12 => zero. The threshold is recorded as zero_eps_abs in:

• stats/evidence/combo_rep1_vs_rep3_direction_check.csv
• stats/evidence/combo_rep1_vs_rep3_direction_summary.csv
