Encoding the anti-memorization corpus doctrine. Use whenever building or scaling training data (pretraining or post-training) for a small from-scratch model and the goal is a model that UNDERSTANDS what it learns, REMEMBERS it, KNOWS it — and never merely memorizes surface patterns. Governs diversity-by-evolution, interleaving, retrieval/testing signals, reasoning-trace preservation, contrastive structure, and the near-dup audits and paraphrase-robust evals that MEASURE comprehension.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Comprehension Engineering — Understanding Over Memorization ## Mission A model that understands what it learns, remembers it, knows it — and does not memorize it. Three distinct outcomes, three distinct measurements: | Outcome | Definition | Failure signature | |---|---|---| | **Understand** | Composes known primitives into novel situations; applies a mechanism to unseen inputs | Passes cloze on training-phrased items, fails rephrased items | | **Remember** | Retains the fact/mechanism across the whole corpus and over training time | Late-curriculum forgetting; confuses similar items trained at different times | | **Know** | Calibrated, verifiable, boundary-aware (knows what it is NOT) | Confident wrong answers on near-distractors; no abstention signal | Memorization is: surface-pattern matching on near-identical training text. It produces perfect train loss, brittle eval, zero transfer. It is the #1 small-model failure and it is **caused by corpus construction choices** — which means the fix is also a corpus construction choice. ## The Memorization Trap (verified on this machine, 2026-08-07) Sampling `gold_web_*.txt` (31,045 files) revealed massed near-duplicates: …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/comprehension-engineering@sha256:f432eeb1a456de54The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.df7cbde, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
