+
+**Author:** Mouad Tarif  
+**Date:** April 2026  
+**Type:** Independent Research Log
+
+## Summary
+
+This work documents experiments on hybridizing monolingual language models without retraining. The goal is to create a functional merged model that preserves both original languages and exhibits emergent cross-lingual capabilities.
+
+## Papers
+
+### Paper 1: Hybridizing the Incompatible
+**Date:** 11 April 2026  
+**DOI:** [10.5281/zenodo.19520544](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19520544)
+
+Experiment: Monolingual model + NLLB (Meta).  
+Result: ≈50% success, arithmetic collapse, NLLB dominance.  
+Insight: "Hybridizing is like genetic engineering — the host may reject foreign genes unless made compatible."
+
+### Paper 2: The Final Hybrid
+**Date:** 14 April 2026  
+**DOI:** [10.5281/zenodo.19562409](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19562409)
+
+Method: Zero-padding expansion for 2D tensors, repetition for 1D tensors. RAM limited to 4GB. Tokenizer alignment (tokenizer.json vs vocab.json).  
+Result: Both original languages preserved, no single model dominates, emergent cross-lingual capabilities observed.
