# MAS Reasoning Formal Study Archive

This private dataset repository preserves the complete formal research artifacts used by the associated multi-agent reasoning manuscript. It is a versioned data archive, not a repackaging of the original benchmark datasets.

> **Visibility requirement:** keep this full archive private. It contains generated candidate answers and rationales, and some records are derived from benchmarks whose examples should not be redistributed publicly. A separately built, content-reduced release is required before public access is enabled.

## Scope

The archive contains every file under the study's two formal evidence roots, except the operational files listed in `EXCLUDED_FILES.csv`:

- original generated sample banks;
- natural and composition-controlled candidate pools;
- selector rankings and replay records;
- model-task logs and parse audits;
- intermediate analysis artifacts;
- manuscript-facing summaries and source tables;
- derived figure data needed by the submission repository.

The archive does not include API credentials, process-ID files, macOS metadata, the original third-party benchmark distributions or unrelated pilot outputs. `SOURCE_SYMLINKS.csv` records links from the source archive; linked files are materialized in this release so that every uploaded payload is self-contained.

## Layout

```text
data/external/evidence/formal/   # manuscript-facing evidence and audits
data/external/results/formal/    # raw, intermediate and summary formal results
data/derived/                    # compact derived tables used by figures
DATA_MANIFEST.csv                # source, role, size and SHA-256 per payload
CHECKSUMS.sha256                 # digest for every released file
RELEASE_METADATA.json            # release scope and aggregate counts
SOURCE_SYMLINKS.csv              # source link reconstruction map
EXCLUDED_FILES.csv               # explicit exclusion ledger
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md           # benchmark licences and restrictions
```

## Models and settings

The manuscript-facing labels are:

- DeepSeek V4 Flash (medium-thinking);
- Mimo v2.5 (no-think);
- Mimo v2.5 (medium-thinking).

The generator and judge settings are encoded in file paths and table fields. Different generator-judge cells should not be treated as interchangeable.

## Download a pinned snapshot

Use the revision recorded in `data/dataset.lock.json` in the code repository:

```bash
uvx --from huggingface_hub hf download Biogod/mas_reasoning \
  --repo-type dataset \
  --revision REVISION_FROM_DATASET_LOCK \
  --local-dir data/releases/REVISION_FROM_DATASET_LOCK
```

To use the downloaded data with the plotting and analysis code, expose its two data roots at `data/external/` or pass the downloaded paths to the documented analysis commands. The code-repository `data/README.md` provides exact commands.

## Integrity verification

From the downloaded snapshot:

```bash
cd data/releases/REVISION_FROM_DATASET_LOCK
sha256sum -c CHECKSUMS.sha256
```

On macOS, use `shasum -a 256 -c CHECKSUMS.sha256`.

The repository also provides a structural verifier:

```bash
cd code
uv sync
uv run python -m reasoning_meme.io.public_dataset verify \
  --root ../data/releases/REVISION_FROM_DATASET_LOCK
```

## Data interpretation

- `rank AUC` is the probability that the judge places a correct candidate above an incorrect candidate within the evaluated pair set.
- `p_gen` is question-level correct-answer availability in the stated generation bank.
- Natural pools preserve the observed answer distribution; composition-controlled pools fix the correct/wrong count.
- Cost fields are paid-equivalent estimates reconstructed from token accounting and the stated price model, not provider invoices.
- Some analyses use different strict-common question intersections. Compare or subtract rows only when their cohort identifiers match.

## Licence and reuse

The authors release their newly derived measurements and metadata for research audit. This archive does not relicense benchmark content or model-generated text. Access to the private archive does not grant permission to publish its contents. Consult `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` and the original benchmark terms before redistributing any file.
