Write a 650–800-word third-person omniscient narration in a measured, ironic early-nineteenth-century style, recounting a recently widowed mother’s decision to leave an inhospitable household for a modest country residence offered by a well-meaning relation, including a pointed social affront, a timely letter, and her ...

Hecke-DPO

Single-axis writing-voice preference data: 1,404 pairs teaching one lesson — don't hedge. In every pair, chosen is unedited human prose from a US-public-domain novel and rejected is the same passage with hedges and qualifiers injected by a model ("arguably", "it is important to note", "some might say", "seems to"...). Claims are unchanged; only the confidence is damaged.

Part of the Stimme suite (Schneewolf Labs): chosen is always human, and the generating model only ever performs degradation — the easy direction — so pair quality is never capped by the generator's writing ability. Seeds come from fundgrube.

How pairs were made and admitted

Seed passages (250–1,400 words, median 1,272) from 25 PD works were degraded by gpt-5.6-luna under a hedge-injection operator, then admitted only if they passed three deterministic gate layers:

Global — edit ratio in band (changed enough, no drift), content jaccard ≥ 0.55 (meaning survived), length within ~±20%.
Axis — hedge density must reach ≥ max(6/1k, 3× the seed's). Median gain: +9.9 hedges per 1k words (p10 +6.3, p90 +19.3).
Isolation — sentence-length variance, thesis position, and aside rate must stay in band, so the pair can't accidentally teach a second lesson (disentanglement across the Stimme axes).

Failed candidates were retried up to 3× and dropped otherwise. Every pair records its gate_metrics, operator, seed provenance, and attempt count.

Fields

field	meaning
`prompt`	back-written creative-writing instruction the chosen text answers
`chosen`	human passage (US-PD, unedited)
`rejected`	hedge-injected degradation of the same passage
`axis`, `operator`	`hecke` (hedging)
`seed_id`	`pg-<gutenberg id>-<chapter>-<chunk>-<hash>` — full provenance
`gate_metrics`	measured hedge densities, edit ratio, jaccard, length ratio
`attempt`	which generation attempt passed (1–3)

Licensing

chosen texts are US public domain (Project Gutenberg, copyright=false); check your jurisdiction outside the US. prompt and rejected are synthetic (gpt-5.6-luna). No other rights claimed.

Intended use & limitations

DPO/preference training against hedging — ideally alongside the other Stimme axes and guard sets (a lone anti-hedging signal can overcorrect; the suite's mass/lektor guards teach the ceilings). Single-axis ablation is the intended unit test: after training, hedge density should drop while sentence variance, asides, and thesis position hold.
