| contents | Pairwise model comparisons drawn from foundation-model benchmarks ("A is safer than B") are read as quantitative verdicts but hinge on harness choices benchmark papers under-specify. We close one theory-benchmark loop on this primitive: a finite-envelope proposition tying a measurable pairwise-disagreement rate to whether the strict ordering admits a configuration-pair reversal, paired with a commit-stamped evaluation protocol that operationalises it on widely cited alignment benchmarks. On every benchmark we test, configuration choice alone can flip the pairwise verdict; the proposition isolates this strict-reversal failure mode. |
