Candidate and control models (BOM-28)
One fine-tuned copy of the time-locked model per candidate author's sample (cand__...) and per
control group (ctrl__...), at 125M (pilot/), 297M (base/) and 590M (mid/), as scored on the
sealed Book of Mormon text in the blind run (Amendment 30). Each .pt is a state dict for the
base model's architecture (load with torch.load(path, weights_only=True) into the matching
time-locked model); the .json beside it is its training record and held-out scores (numbers
only). alm_candidates_<size>.json is each size's validation, alm_candidates_plan.json the
units. Some candidate samples come from Joseph Smith Papers transcripts, which are not published;
the models are (owner's decision, 2026-11-09).
Folders: pilot/, base/, mid/ are the registered run's models. a43/<size>/ are the models
retrained after Book of Mormon quotations were removed from the candidate samples (Amendment 43,
post hoc; the paper's corrected rankings). a44/ holds the models of Joseph Smith's pooled
non-revelatory writing (Amendment 44) and a44/a45/ the equal-dose slice models (Amendment 45),
each named <unit>[_slice<k>]_<size>.pt.
About
Part of an open, pre-registered study of the authorship, borrowing and dating of the
earliest Book of Mormon text (https://github.com/lifehug/book-of-mormon-authorship; pre-registration https://osf.io/6ugxc/). The project does not argue for or
against divine inspiration. Everything is published so it can be checked and redone; the corpus
texts we agreed to keep private are not, and the repository's docs/replication.md gives the
steps to obtain the same access.
