Experiments · E173c

Does the search do better with the serotonin learning site than without it?

Partly. The score was about twice as high with the site (32.97 against 14.64), but the runs used different code, so it is a lead.

E173c result (2026-09-19 20:23) — the serotonin half of N6, legacy pair. fb,oa (no 5-HT site), --confirm: AUC_Q 14.64 ± 6.83 (s.e.), 28 ± 7 confirmed finds, best −136, ρ(score, reward) +0.90. E173 (5-HT site taught by the confirm verdict, 2026-09-18 17:06): 32.97 ± 3.98, 61.5 ± 9.5, −135. Twice the rate with the serotonin site — but E173 ran on the previous day's code and both ran under the coupled reward, exactly the E171b/E178 confound, so this is a lead, not a verdict. A same-code, pure-reward pair (5-HT taught vs absent, both --confirm) goes on the queue after E205 as E206, low priority: the confirm rung's cost makes it a half-day. N6's FB half is closed (site inert at steps 4; E199 void); its serotonin half is open with the sign favouring the site.
